Summary - RATHEN HOUSE, HIGH STREET DG7 3RL
3 bed 3 bath End of Terrace
Large period end-terrace with garden and flexible rooms in central New Galloway.
Substantial stone-built end-of-terrace with strong period character
Rathan House is a substantial stone-built period end-of-terrace in the heart of New Galloway, offering generous, characterful living over multiple levels. Ground-floor rooms retain shop-front glazing and high ceilings, creating bright reception spaces and a farmhouse-style kitchen with large dual-aspect windows. Three double bedrooms, a first-floor lounge with an inglenook stove and a practical basement provide flexible family accommodation. A fully enclosed rear garden, summer house and log shed add private outdoor space.
The house suits families or buyers seeking a roomy village home with character features: original sash windows, stripped floorboards, cornicing and working fireplaces throughout. Practical comforts include double glazing and oil-fired central heating; mobile signal is excellent and the village provides a primary school, doctor’s surgery, community facilities and regular bus links to nearby towns.
Buyers should note this is a period property that will benefit from updating. Some rooms show dated decor and there are areas (basement rooms and certain fittings) that may need refurbishment or reconfiguration. The EPC is E and heating is oil-fired, so modernisation works would improve energy performance. Parking is on-street only and the property sits directly to the pavement with no private front garden.
Overall, Rathan House offers substantial, flexible accommodation and genuine village living in the Glenkens — a rewarding project for a family wanting space and character, or for those prepared to invest in sympathetic upgrading to improve energy efficiency and finish.
