Summary - HILLCROFT, BRAEFIELD ROAD, STRANRAER, PORTPATRICK DG9 8TA
3 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Turnkey coastal home with spectacular elevated outlook and conversion potential.
Exceptional elevated sea and harbour views from patio, sitting room and kitchen.
Large under-house storage; some areas have height restrictions.
Three bedrooms, open-plan kitchen/diner, sitting room with wood-burning stove.
Sold fully furnished as a turnkey holiday-let with existing bookings option.
Oil-fired central heating (Worcester boiler) — consider running costs.
Slow broadband despite excellent mobile signal in the area.
Single shower room and separate cloakroom — limited bathroom provision.
Modest garden size; low-maintenance planting and off-street parking for several cars.
Set high above Portpatrick, Hillcroft offers dramatic sea views from the sitting room, kitchen and raised patio — a rare coastal outlook that’s the property’s principal appeal. The bungalow’s generous footprint and extensive under-house storage create clear potential for conversion or secure ancillary space, useful for holiday-let owners or those needing substantial storage.
Internally the home is comfortable and functional: a double-aspect sitting room with wood-burning stove, an open-plan kitchen/dining space, three bedrooms and a modern shower room plus separate cloakroom. The property is sold fully furnished and currently set up as a turnkey holiday-let, so it could continue as an income stream or transfer easily to full-time residential use.
Buyers should note some practical constraints. Broadband speeds are slow and the fuel source is oil-fired central heating, which may concern long-term running costs. Storage below the house extends the full footprint but parts have height restrictions due to site topography and will limit conversion options without work. There is only one shower room and no en suite, which may be a limitation for full-time family living.
Externally the plot is low-maintenance with mature shrubs, a small lawn, rockeries and plentiful off-street parking. The elevated position provides privacy and a sheltered garden, but the plot size is modest rather than expansive. Overall this is a strong proposition for someone seeking a coastal retreat or an income-producing holiday property, and it also suits downsizers wanting single-storey living with scope to modernise.
