Auction Lot ID: 33539 6 bedroom 3 reception rooms 6 acre paddock Front and rear garden Further land available Freehold SITUATION: Upper Senwick lies on the south-west coast of Scotland, close to the shores of Kirkcudbright Bay at the edge of the Solway Firth. This is a fertile and prosperous farming region in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The farm is situated about five miles south-west of the local town of Kirkcudbright, the county town of Kirkcudbrightshire. Collectively with Wigtownshire, the area was historically known as the Kingdom of Galloway, and now forms the western portion of the present-day local authority area of Dumfries and Galloway.As well as offering a range of local shopping and business services, Kirkcudbright has both primary and secondary schools with excellent reputations. Castle Douglas (12 miles) and Dumfries both have a wide range of shops and local services. Dumfries and Galloway is a truly rural region, well known for dairy and livestock farming, magnificent forests and dramatic coastlines. The rolling landscape, extensive woodland and unspoilt coastline provides a wealth of opportunities for outdoor pursuits. The quiet country roads are popular for walkers and cyclists, there is golf on local courses at Kirkcudbright, Brighouse Bay and Gatehouse-of-Fleet, and there is sea fishing and sailing along the coast. Kirkcudbright Marina reputedly offers one of the safest anchorages on the north Solway coast, and the town is also seen as a natural base from which to explore the Galloway Forest Park.Communication links in the area are good. The railway station in Dumfries has regular services to Glasgow and London, and the M74 links the north and south by road and lies only about 50 miles to the east. The nearest international airports are at Prestwick (about 63 miles) and Glasgow (about 115 miles). Prestwick has regular flights to London Stansted as well as an increasing amount of foreign destinations. Stranraer lies about 43 miles to the west and is the ferry terminal for Northern Ireland with services to Larne and Belfast. DESCRIPTION: Upper Senwick benefits from the favourable Gulf Stream climate; the area is noted for its mild weather and long growing season which has contributed to the south-west being one of the most productive livestock areas in the United Kingdom.A recently renovated six bedroom farmhouse lies at the heart of the farm, and modern and traditional steadings offer a combination of practicality and future development potential. The land lies in a single block within a ring fence and is wholly down to grass and carrying about 375 head of cattle and 340 mule gimmers. It is self sufficient for forage purposes, in good heart, and well farmed by the seller. Demand for grass lets in the area is typically good, and Upper Senwick benefits from good road access, offering an opportunity for an owner who does not wish to farm the land themselves to let the land out either as a whole or in parts. There is a 4.5 acre wood and other areas of woody shrubs which provide shelter for stock, and amenity for wildlife. Whilst there is no shoot at present, with strategic planting of cover crops and creation of ponds, there is potential to develop some entertaining sport. ACCOMMODATION: The house is south-east facing on an elevated site with extensive sea views. Stone built with harled and painted gable ends, it lies a good distance from the farm buildings with it's own land on three sides. A comprehensive programme of redecoration was completed in 2006, upgrading many of the rooms whilst retaining the traditional character. It provides a spacious family home with well laid out accommodation over two storeys as shown on a accompanying plans. INSERT FLOORPLANSThe internal layout offers practicality and ample space for entertaining. Original period features include ceiling cornices, and attractive open fireplaces in the main reception rooms. The kitchen has recently fitted wall and floor units, a fitted electric oven and grill with extractor hood, and an electric hob. On the first floor there are six bedrooms, a box room and a family bathroom. Behind the house is a parking area and single garage. The adjacent field extends to about 2.35 ha (5.81 acres) principally to the south-west. It is fenced and watered and would provide an ideal pony paddock or amenity ground for tree planting. DIRECTIONS: From the north or south on the M74, follow signs for Dumfries. At Dumfries, follow signs for the A75 towards Stranraer. After by-passing Castle Douglas, about 20 miles west of Dumfries, turn left onto the A711 signposted for Kirkcudbright. In Kirkcudbright turn right opposite the Church onto the A755 signed Gatehouse of Fleet. After crossing the Dee Estuary turn left onto the B727 signed Borgue and Brighouse Bay. After about 3 miles turn left, sign Brighouse Bay and Ross Bay, and continue along the minor public road for about 1 mile. Take the left fork, signed for Ross Bay, and the entrance to Upper Senwick is immediately on the left. Email This Agent Your First Name: Your Last Name: Your Email: OR If you the registered user.
