Galbraith has brought to the market a beautiful 19th century village house overlooking the sea at Portling in Dumfries & Galloway.
High Portling House was built in the 1850's and extensively extended in the 1950's by McAlpine. In more recent years the cottage has been fully renovated and further improvements have been made to create an exceptional family home, flooded with natural light and with glorious sea views.
The property has five bedrooms and four reception rooms, with the majority of the accommodation to the front, taking advantage of the spectacular views over the Solway Firth to the Lake District beyond.
Rebecca Reed, handling the sale for Galbraith, said: “The current owners have created an absolutely exceptional property with superb entertaining space, and there is considerable flexibility to use the open plan areas on the first floor as art studios, offices for home working or to create additional bedrooms if preferred. The gardens are equally attractive and the setting of the property, overlooking the sea, is second to none. High Portling House offers a wonderful rural lifestyle and we expect a great deal of interest.”
The accommodation includes: dining room, kitchen, lounge, sun room, utility room, library, living room, second kitchen, boiler room, boot room, five bedrooms, (one en-suite and one with a Jack & Jill bathroom), family bathroom, box room, open plan studio and office space, and additional open plan office space with balcony.
To the front of the property is an expansive lawn enclosed by a dry stone wall. To the side there is mature shrubbery, flower beds, a seating area, lawn, and a well-stocked pond. To the rear of the house is an enclosed kitchen and rose garden which in the later part of the day becomes a sun trap and would make an ideal outdoor entertaining area.
The plot extends to 0.85 acres (0.34 hectares) in all.
Portling is a small hamlet with a very large sandy beach on the beautiful Solway Coast.
Colvend village, 1 mile away, has a well-stocked village shop, a primary school, church and a village hall which hosts a variety of events and is on a regular bus route.
There are mainline railway stations in both Dumfries (19 miles away) and Lockerbie. The town of Castle Douglas, offering a wide range of amenities, is 11 miles away. The M74 motorway network is 45 miles distant, and Prestwick Airport is 69 miles north, while both Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh Airport are just over 100 miles away.
High Portling House is for sale through Galbraith for offers over £800,000.
