A traditional red sandstone cottage set on the outskirts of New Cumnock, this detached bungalow offers spacious single-floor living with large gardens and a garage. The main living room, generous kitchen/dining area and two double bedrooms (or potential 2/3-bedroom layout) give flexible accommodation for downsizers or those seeking one-level living. The property sits on a sizeable plot with off-street parking and scope to increase parking at the front.
The house is solid and characterful but requires updating: a dated mid-20th-century hallway, older bathroom with shower-over-bath and general modernisation needed throughout. The Energy Performance Rating is D. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. The sale is freehold and offered at Offers Over £185,000 (Home Report valuation £200,000).
Practical positives include large private rear gardens, a summer house and garage for storage, plus pleasant nearby countryside walks. Transport links are good with bus and rail services to larger towns. Note the local area is classified as very deprived and the wider demographic trends towards an aging rural population, which may influence resale and community services.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a roomy, single-storey home to personalise — particularly downsizers or buyers comfortable with a modest renovation budget. Viewing recommended to appreciate plot size and renovation potential.
