Stable Cottages and Gardeners Cottage, Doonhill, Newton Stewart

Unique opportunity to purchase a portfolio of three separate cottages with their own private garden ground set within the grounds of Doonhill House.

This portfolio of three cottages: two of which are semi-detached, which are in the former stable block, and a detached Gardener’s cottage which has been used as a workshop by the current owners benefit from their own private garden grounds set within the policies of Doonhill House.

They have their own access road which therefore means not having to go through Doonhill House’s grounds to gain access.  The unique location of the cottages means they are well located to access all the local amenities of the market town of Newton Stewart. This busy Galloway market town, set on the banks of the River Cree, lies in a genuinely rural area that is regarded by many as the gateway to the scenic Galloway hills. The town contains a: museum, leisure centre, post office, cinema along with multiple banks and a wide range of shops, offices, businesses, hotels and restaurants.

The cottages are just a few metres from Blairmount Park which is a great place for walks.  They are only a 4 minute walk from the High School and a 3 minute walk from the swimming pool and gym.

The area has a wide range of sport and outdoor activities with opportunities to: take up shooting, fish on the nearby rivers, golf and enjoy an extensive range of walks and cycle paths.

Stable Cottage number 1 and number 2 have a connecting door way and it is though that they could be easily converted to become one larger detached house, with the adjacent Gardener’s cottage being suitable as a workshop / studio / home office or as a self-contained self-catering unit.
