Set against the backdrop of the stunning Rhins of Galloway peninsula, Knowes Cottage presents a distinctive opportunity for those looking to invest in a serene rural lifestyle. This one-bedroom stone cottage offers expansive views over the countryside, with the iconic lighthouse at the Mull of Galloway prominently visible on the horizon.
The property has undergone significant structural enhancements, including a recently re-pointed exterior and a newly installed roof. The rear wall has been entirely rebuilt, and the updated roof structure now features an open void that could accommodate a mezzanine level, providing potential for additional living space. All renovations have adhered to structural engineering standards and building regulations, ensuring a solid foundation for future developments.
Equipped with essential services such as electricity, water, and high-speed fibre broadband, Knowes Cottage is poised as an inviting project for renovation or restoration. A previously granted building warrant (now lapsed) allows for alterations and extensions to the original dwelling, offering flexibility to expand its footprint. Detailed information can be found on the Dumfries and Galloway Planning Portal (reference: 16/P/1/0059).
Surrounding the cottage are spacious garden grounds currently laid to lawn, presenting ample possibilities for landscaping or creating outdoor living spaces. The property's rear garden boasts southern views towards the sea and Ireland, enhancing its appeal. There’s also potential for additional parking or even constructing a garage or garden shed, pending necessary planning approvals. Included in the sale is a caravan situated on-site, which may serve as temporary accommodation or extra storage during renovations.
Overall, Knowes Cottage stands as an exciting project in a picturesque location with vast investment potential for transformation into a bespoke rural retreat or vacation home.
