Kirroughtree shows great potential

A FORMER hotel in Newton Stewart has been put on the market.

The Kirroughtree House Hotel has been listed by property agents Christie & Co, with an asking price of offers over £695,000.

The 17th century country house sits within eight acres of private grounds, and its believed to have connections to both James Boswell and Robert Burns, each having stayed as guests during the late 18th century.

Tony Spence, from Christie & Co, says that the building and surrounding grounds have great potential.

He added: “The property has previously been a successful hotel, exclusive-use, wedding and spiritual centre. It could once again be re-opened for continued use, following a full restoration and refitting.

“Due to the outdoor space and surrounding woodland, the property may also be of interest to outdoor activity companies, catering for groups or school hires. The possibilities with a building as flexible in purpose as this are substantial and varied, and the surrounding land has many development opportunities too, with the adjacent lodge park being a potential source of customers.”
