A distinctive historic home in Dumfries and Galloway, complete with its own armoury, has been listed for sale at a bargain price of offers over £245,000. The property, located at 1 Pomona Terrace in New Galloway, Scotland's smallest Royal Burgh, is being marketed by leading property consultancy Galbraith.
Property Features and Recent Updates
The beautifully presented three-bedroom house offers flexible accommodation, private outdoor space, and attractive gardens. The current owners have undertaken significant updates, including the creation of a stylish modern dining kitchen and the conversion of the attic to add a spacious third bedroom. This attic room could alternatively serve as a home office, offering lovely views across neighbouring rooftops to the rolling Galloway hills beyond.
The ground floor comprises an elegant sitting room with a log-burning stove overlooking the front garden, a glazed rear porch opening onto a gravel courtyard ideal for outdoor dining, and a good-sized dining kitchen. Two double bedrooms are situated on the first floor, with a family bathroom on the half turn of the stairs.
The Historic Armoury
The standout feature of 1 Pomona Terrace is the Armoury, a large detached outbuilding with a unique place in local history. Built around 1905, it originally served as an armoury for the 3rd Kirkcudbright Rifle Volunteers, later known as the Galloway Rifle Volunteer Company E Attachment, until their disbandment in 1908. Today, the space offers amazing potential for creative use, such as a workshop, studio, gym, home office, or even conversion into additional living accommodation subject to necessary consents.
Gardens and Outdoor Spaces
The front garden is laid to lawn and bordered by mature plants and shrubs within a retaining wall. To the side, near the armoury, is another garden area featuring magnificent hostas, a beautiful acer, and other stunning mature plants. To the immediate rear of the house is a sheltered gravel courtyard with pedestrian gates to either side, described by Galbraith as a lovely area for sunny summer days, outdoor entertaining, and al fresco dining. Leading up from the lane-side gate of the courtyard, steps ascend into the main garden, which is mainly laid to lawn interspersed with shrubs. From the top, there are breathtaking panoramic views of New Galloway and the surrounding countryside.
