Description

Nestled in a spectacular rural setting on the Rhins of Galloway peninsula, Knowes Cottage offers a truly unique lifestyle opportunity in one of Scotland's most peaceful and unspoiled regions. This charming cottage enjoys panoramic views across open countryside towards the Mull of Galloway, Scotland's most southerly point, with its famed lighthouse visible from the property.

Knowes Cottage is a traditional stone-built home that has been recently re-pointed and re-roofed. The entire rear wall has been rebuilt, and the roof structure has been reconfigured to accommodate an open roof void, such as a mezzanine. All work has been carried out in accordance with structural engineer's calculations to meet building regulations. The property has electricity, water and a fibre broadband connection. It now offers an exciting blank canvas for development and restoration. A building warrant (now lapsed) was granted for alterations and an extension to the existing dwelling, installation of a septic tank and soakaway, and the formation of an access track. Further details are available on the Dumfries and Galloway Planning Portal (reference: 16/P/1/0059).

The cottage sits within generous garden grounds that wrap around the property, currently laid to lawn and offering uninterrupted countryside views, with a southerly view over the sea to Ireland from the rear garden. These outdoor areas provide ample scope for landscaping. There is also potential to create further parking, or to construct a garage or garden building, subject to the appropriate planning consents. A caravan is currently situated on site and is included in the sale.
