Upper Senwick Farmhouse is a substantial six‑bedroom stone farmhouse set in rural Kirkcudbrightshire with coastal views and a south‑easterly aspect. The house retains many original Victorian features — tiled entrance, hardwood doors, stained‑glass skylight, tiled fireplaces and two staircases — giving strong character and scope for a sympathetic restoration. Spacious reception rooms, a kitchen with adjacent utility/scullery, and a wrap‑around garden give immediate family living potential.
The property is sold freehold and sits within the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere Reserve, a quiet area valued for dark skies, hillwalking and coastal access. There is off‑street parking for multiple vehicles and additional grazing land is available by separate negotiation for anyone wanting smallholding or equestrian use. Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas are reachable by car for everyday amenities, while larger regional services lie further afield.
Materially, the farmhouse needs renovation and modernisation throughout; the listing and visual descriptions indicate age‑related wear and weathering, and an EPC rating of E. Buyers should budget for upgrade works (insulation, heating, kitchen/bathrooms and general refurbishment). The property is in a remote, ageing rural neighbourhood where broadband and mobile signals are average and access to some services will require driving. Council tax is noted as expensive, and the wider area has high deprivation indicators — important context for buyers weighing running costs and local services.
This house will suit purchasers seeking a character farmhouse to restore: families wanting generous rooms and gardens, or buyers aiming to create a holiday let/smallholding with additional land. It is less suitable for those seeking a turn‑key home, close urban services, or strong public transport links.
