Description

Nestled in the picturesque Machars Peninsula, this two-bedroom cottage presents a unique opportunity for those seeking to invest in a property rich with potential. Just a stone's throw from the historically significant villages of Whithorn and Glasserton, this home is set within approximately 1¼ acres of mature gardens and grounds that offer flexibility for further development. While the property boasts double glazing and oil-fired central heating, some areas could benefit from modern updates to transform it into a bespoke rural retreat. The existing layout allows for the creation of an additional bedroom, enhancing its appeal for families or those looking to capitalize on rental opportunities. With an expansive paddock suitable for livestock and various outbuildings—including a wooden garage with planning permission for a new structure—there is ample scope for personalisation and expansion. The surrounding landscape features established walking trails leading to natural beauty spots, making it an attractive option for outdoor enthusiasts. Additionally, nearby amenities provide essential services without sacrificing the tranquil charm of countryside living. This cottage is perfect for buyers looking to embrace rural life while making their mark on a historic property.
