Summary - SOUTERS CROFT, NEWTON STEWART, CARSLUITH DG8 7DN
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Charming stone cottage with sea views and extensive southwest garden.
Traditional 1800s granite cottage with original oak door and exposed stone features
Souter’s Croft is a traditional stone-built cottage dating from around 1800, set in rural Carsluith with fine estuary and sea views. The house retains original character — exposed granite walls, an oak cottage door and a central stone fireplace with a Morso wood-burning stove — combined with practical upgrades including double glazing and gas central heating. The layout offers flexible family living: a generous sitting room, adjacent family room, fitted kitchen, three double bedrooms and two modern shower rooms, one on the ground floor for accessibility.
Outside, the south-west facing garden is a strong selling point. It’s thoughtfully landscaped with formal lawns, cottage borders, established fruit trees, raised beds, greenhouse and an octagonal summer house with sea glimpses. A large garage/workshop with plumbing and a car port provides generous storage and off-street parking. The property is freehold and sits in a genuinely rural area popular for outdoor pursuits and quiet coastal living.
Buyers should be aware this is an older stone cottage so some ongoing maintenance may be required to preserve character features and the external fabric. Mobile signal is average and the wider parish is classified as very deprived, which may influence local services and resale dynamics. Overall, Souter’s Croft will suit buyers seeking period charm, generous garden space and a peaceful coastal-rural lifestyle rather than a fully modern turnkey home.
