Langside is a four-bedroom semi-detached property located within the charming village of Portpatrick, directly opposite the historic Portpatrick Parish Church. This location not only offers a picturesque setting but also provides easy access to local amenities including shops, a primary school, restaurants, and beachfront hotels. The area is particularly lively during the summer months, with outdoor dining options that allow visitors and residents alike to enjoy stunning sea views.
Portpatrick is known for its recreational opportunities, from scenic walks along Sandeel Bay and Lairds Bay to the more challenging trails of the Southern Upland Way. The nearby Dunskey Castle adds historical interest to the landscape, while Stranraer, just over seven miles away, offers additional facilities such as secondary schools and healthcare services. With ferry links to Northern Ireland available from Cairnryan, this property benefits from an attractive location for both residents and potential guests.
The house itself retains much of its original character and charm, having previously operated as a bed and breakfast. High ceilings and detailed cornicing in the ground floor reception rooms add to its appeal. There are two open fires situated in both the sitting room and living room, providing opportunities for warmth and ambiance. The flexible layout includes a third reception space in the form of a dining room which could easily accommodate various uses depending on your lifestyle needs.
The kitchen features practical elements such as a serving hatch to the living room, along with essential appliances including a double sink and washing machine. While some features require modernization—such as restoring functionality to the range cooker—the home has functional storage solutions like an under stair cupboard and back porch that enhance everyday living.
Upstairs, you’ll find four well-lit bedrooms, each equipped with wash hand basins for convenience. Bedrooms one and two offer views of the church across the road, while bedrooms three and four overlook a private courtyard space at the rear of the property. A main shower room with an accessible shower setup further complements this level alongside additional WC facilities.
While Langside currently faces some necessary updates, it presents significant investment potential for those considering conversion into holiday accommodation or long-term rental opportunities given its desirable coastal location. The surrounding area also includes numerous golf courses catering to enthusiasts.
The exterior comprises off-street parking alongside well-maintained grounds that feature a stone outbuilding suitable for storage use. Although some landscaping would be required to reclaim sea views from higher ground behind the property—previously enhanced by steps now overgrown—the potential is evident for outdoor enjoyment or garden enhancement.
