A historic four-bedroom category B listed house in the coastal village of Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway, has been put on the market for offers over £345,000 through estate agents Galbraith. The sellers have described the sale as a "rare opportunity".
Property in need of complete renovation
Inglenook, a former manse dating back to the 1720s, is set across three levels of flexible accommodation. According to Galbraith, the property requires "complete renovation and modernisation throughout", but offers a chance to restore a period property and transform it into a family home.
The grounds include planted beds, shrubs and trees, as well as a patio area suited to entertaining and relaxation. The shorefront and harbour are within walking distance.
Versatile accommodation and period character
Galbraith states: "Extending over three floors, this charming and versatile property offers flexible accommodation with considerable potential to create an impressive family home or, subject to the necessary consents, a guest house."
The accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule, a sitting room, a reception room, a study, a dining room, a cloakroom, a kitchen, a utility room, a toilet and a cloakroom. The first and second floors contain the bedrooms, two shower rooms, an additional sitting room, an office and a store.
Seaside location and local amenities
Portpatrick offers shops, schooling, and beachfront hotels and restaurants. Walks include paths to Sandeel Bay and Lairds Bay, while the nearest major town, Stranraer, has a wider range of services.
The large period house dates back to 1726 and has views across the gardens. A high banking behind the garage provides a vantage point over the village and sea beyond.
