Doonhill House and Cottages, Newton Stewart

Unique opportunity to purchase a magnificent detached Victorian house nestled in private garden grounds extending to 2.5 acres with three separate cottages.

Doonhill House is an imposing detached Victorian house nestled within 2.5 acres of private garden grounds. The property offers bright, spacious accommodation throughout whilst retaining many of its original features. Including ornate ceiling cornicing and hardwood window shutters which adds to the charm and ambience.  As well as the main house, there are a total of three cottages: two semi-detached cottages, which are in the former stable block, and a detached Gardener’s cottage which was used as a workshop. These additional properties are well placed to accommodate guests, senior members of the family who wish to be closer to their younger family or indeed they could provide additional income as holiday lets.

Accessed via a private gravel driveway which leads to the front of the property there is ample parking for a number of vehicles. The secluded and tranquil garden grounds of Doonhill House wrap around the main house; being well sheltered by the original estate wall providing wonderfully private grounds.
