Description
Lot 5 is a 4.71-acre smallholding, formerly the Creetown water supply, with potential for a house site and a heritage information point. The site includes a ruinous cottage, Billy Diamond's Cottage, which was occupied by Billy Diamond and his family in the 1850s. The cottage has a water supply pipe, electricity, telecom, and fibre connections available in the public road, which would need to be connected by a purchaser with the necessary consents. The site also features the former Creetown water supply, which was taken over by Scottish Water in the 1950s and was considered one of the top two drinking water supplies in Scotland. The water supply has access off the public road, with an underground cistern and original pipework still in place. The site offers a unique opportunity for development, with potential for a house, a heritage information point, or a combination of both.
