Providing ample space for dining and informal seating, it creates an excellent everyday living area while maintaining the character of the original house.
The separate kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units complemented by generous worktop space, a central island, traditional Belfast sink and space for a range-style cooker. A practical rear porch/boot room provides excellent built-in storage together with direct access to the rear garden. Accessed from the kitchen is a useful ground floor WC, incorporating a large Belfast-style sink which is currently utilised as a laundry and pet washing area, adding further practicality to the home.
The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, while a second double bedroom also incorporates fitted storage. A further spacious rear-facing bedroom enjoys attractive views across Newton Stewart towards the Galloway Hills. The fourth bedroom offers flexibility as a bedroom, nursery or home office and benefits from hatch access, via folding ladders, to the converted attic space. The upper floor is served by a spacious family bathroom incorporating both a bath and separate shower enclosure, together with a separate WC.

Externally, the property occupies a generous plot with mature gardens to both the front and rear.
