Set in the attractive Royal Burgh of New Galloway on the edge of Galloway Forest, Leamington House (The Smithy) is a turnkey, three‑bedroom stone cottage with beautifully landscaped private gardens and strong short‑term letting history. The cottage is presented in immaculate order, enjoys elevated garden views and generous parking to the front, and benefits from an active holiday‑let licence (expires September 2026). The plot adjoins the Mill Burn and includes a sheltered decked seating area and mature planting, creating a peaceful rural retreat with easy access to walking, fishing and Loch Ken.
Adjoining the cottage is a converted former workshop operating as The Smithy Café — a 26‑cover commercial unit with fully fitted commercial kitchen, accessible WC facilities and a production area currently used by the vendor’s food business. The café has potential for around 30 additional external covers and offers scope for continued hospitality use or repurposing for light production/retail, subject to consents. The two buildings together provide approximately 128 sqm (cottage) and 90 sqm (commercial) of internal floorspace.
Practical points are straightforward: mains water, electricity and drainage are connected; heating is oil‑fired with radiators plus a solid fuel stove in the cottage; council tax band D; cottage EPC C (71) and café EPC G. There is good broadband and average mobile signal for the area. The property sits on the High Street within a mixed commercial/residential locale and is well placed for local services and tourism.
Important considerations: a potential flood risk from the adjacent Mill Burn is indicated at the eastern edge of the title on SEPA maps (vendors report no past flooding of the built property). The café’s EPC rating is low and some commercial plant may require upgrading; the short‑term let licence runs until September 2026 and purchasers should verify continuation or re‑licensing. The area is classified as a remoter community with higher local deprivation indices, which will affect local market dynamics. Offers are invited over £395,000.
