Description

Dating from 1726, this former manse is a substantial four-bedroom period house arranged over three floors, set back from the Main Street in Portpatrick and within walking distance of the harbour and shore. The accommodation includes four reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room, cloakroom and separate WC on the ground floor, with bedrooms, sitting rooms and two shower rooms on the upper floors. One shower room is described as undergoing refurbishment. Period details include high ceilings, sash-and-case windows with original shutters, fireplaces and a wood-burning stove. The kitchen has fitted wall and base units with an electric oven and hob, while the dining room retains an oil-fired Aga. A utility room provides access to the garden, garage and rear yard. The garage measures approximately 6.96m by 5.13m. The house is described as requiring complete renovation and modernisation. Its flexible room arrangement could suit a range of uses, including a private home or, subject to the necessary consents, guest accommodation. The property has established gardens and is close to village amenities, with Stranraer less than eight miles away.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Inglenook has the makings of a distinctive restoration project: a substantial 1726 former manse with multiple reception rooms, period fireplaces and traditional joinery, set in an established garden close to Portpatrick’s harbour and seafront. The interiors are generally intact but dated, and the listing calls for complete modernisation, giving a buyer scope to rework the house while retaining its character. The ivy-covered elevations merit inspection, though no obvious major roof failure is visible in the supplied photographs.

The 53/100 D grade reflects an opportunity with real character but unresolved value and project economics: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged, and the available information does not establish residual value.

Key opportunities

  • Reimagine the multiple reception rooms and flexible three-floor layout as a cohesive family home, while restoring the traditional fireplaces and joinery.
  • Modernise the dated kitchen and interior finishes as part of a whole-house scheme, shaping the result around the house’s period character.
  • Build on the established garden and the house’s quiet setting within walking distance of Portpatrick’s harbour and seafront.

Key risks

  • The dated, generally intact interiors still sit within a complete-renovation brief: plan for a heavy, multi-floor programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Ivy covers parts of the elevations; inspect the masonry and check the roof and chimneys closely during due diligence.
