George Street, Whithorn, DG8

An opportunity arises to acquire an attractive end of terrace, cottage style residence occupying a central location within the popular Royal Burgh of Whithorn, situated under four miles from the sea. The original house was built in the 1790’s and has since had a couple of extensions.  Since 2018 the house has gone under a programme of restoration and modernisation within which the inside has been rebuilt. This house has the potential to make an ideal self-catering/ bed & breakfast /family home.

Upstairs we have three double bedrooms ensuite.  On the ground floor a fourth shower room provides an exclusive facility for guests using the bed settee in the Study.  Close to the front door is a separate WC, a living room with wood burning stove, a spacious dining kitchen with French doors giving access to the rear garden, and a utility room. Also, on the ground floor is what has been a workshop with two walk-in cupboards.   If upgraded there is the option to have a ground floor flat comprising this room, utility, study, and shower room.  To secure this flat will require the door from kitchen to utility to be blocked and a new main door set in the hallway between the study and the WC.  The electricity supply to these rooms is fed through a separate consumer box.  This arrangement will be ideal if the main house is let for self-catering or B&B. The fully enclosed garden has a double gate allowing vehicle access from Kings Road.  Viewing this excellent property is to be thoroughly recommended.

Of traditional stone construction under slate roof this property is situated adjacent to other properties of varying style with an outlook to the front to neighbouring properties and to the rear over the garden ground.

Whithorn has long been a very popular retreat on Scotland’s Southwest coastline, attracting many visitors and with access to a full range of outdoor pursuits including walking, fishing, bowling, and excellent golf courses. Local amenities include primary school, church, general and specialist stores, library, post office, hotel/restaurant, chemists and general practice healthcare. The surrounding area has also been noted for its sites of historical interest. The pretty coastal villages of the Isle of Whithorn and Garlieston are within easy reach and where there are further facilities for boating and sea fishing. Both have hotel/restaurants.

The well-known Book Town of Wigtown is only 8 miles distant and a wider range of facilities, including larger supermarkets and secondary schools, can be found in the market town of Newton Stewart (17 miles) and Stranraer (30 miles).
