Leamington House (The Smithy) is a picture-postcard stone cottage in the heart of New Galloway, set beside the Mill Burn with well-tended, elevated gardens and generous parking. The main cottage offers three bedrooms over two floors, presented in immaculate order and currently operated as a successful short-term holiday let. A solid-fuel stove, oil-fired central heating and an EPC of C (71) combine period character with acceptable energy performance for a historic building.
A key commercial advantage is the attached café/restaurant and shop premises (licensed, 26 covers), currently operating and providing immediate income or scope for greater diversification. The site includes useful external utility and workshop space, several dedicated seating areas overlooking the burn, and a sheltered deck with pergola — attractive features for guests or diners and for future development of the business.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is a historic, stone-built dwelling (pre-1900) with walls likely uninsulated, heated by oil (boiler and radiators) and reliant on average mobile and broadband speeds. The short-term letting licence is in place but expires in September 2026, and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect longer-term footfall outside peak seasons.
This turnkey cottage-plus-commercial package suits an investor or owner-operator seeking an established holiday-let income with on-site hospitality, or a buyer wanting a character home with business potential. Offers are invited over £395,000; purchasers should budget for ongoing maintenance typical of older stone buildings and consider insulating or energy upgrades if desired.
