Privacy, paddocks and development potential near Portpatrick and Stranraer.
Sympathetically modernised four-bedroom Victorian farmhouse
Set well back from the road, Auchenree Cottage is a sympathetically modernised four-bedroom Victorian farmhouse presented in walk-in condition. The house offers high ceilings, generous room proportions and a neat front patio for alfresco dining, all finished to a modern standard while retaining period character. The main house totals about 1,395 sq ft and sits centrally within about 4.195 acres of well-fenced land broken into manageable paddocks.
A major asset is the traditional courtyard steading and outbuildings, currently used for dry storage and events, which may have change-of-use potential subject to regional council approval. The paddocks and yard provide strong smallholding or equestrian potential, with ample parking on the single-track drive and a secure yard for machinery or livestock.
Practical points to note: the property has only one bathroom, very slow fixed broadband and average mobile signal, and sits in a remoter, very deprived area — factors that may affect working-from-home suitability and services. Interested parties should make their own enquiries about planning for the steading before assuming development potential.
Overall this is a well-maintained rural smallholding for buyers seeking privacy, land and immediate access to pasture and outbuildings. It will suit purchasers wanting a lifestyle property with agricultural or equestrian use, or those prepared to invest in adapting the steading subject to consents.
