DESCRIPTION
Seabank is a spacious detached four bedroom property offering a family home by the sea in a predominantly rural area of south west Scotland, benefiting from additional land extending to 0.53acres. Seabank sits back from the main road, opening the view to the garden, Luce Bay and coastline beyond. Gannets can be seen diving like torpedoes from the sky on a daily basis catching fish within view of the property.

The entrance vestibule opens in to the main hall, and the first door opens in to the sitting room, a spacious double aspect room with a picture window to the front. Seabank is currently a very successful holiday let and more often than not during the day seating in the room will be rearranged by guests to face the window, rather than the open fire. The dining room adjacent is open plan to the kitchen, with a cosy farmhouse kitchen appeal, including a pulley for drying washing. The kitchen has space and plumbing for white goods, an electric cooker and a back door opening to the parking area and outbuildings behind. Bedroom 1, overlooking the garden completes the ground floor accommodation.
Stairs lead to a half landing opening to a bathroom, and fitted cupboard. The bathroom has a bath with shower over and wash hand basin with vanity unit. The main staircase continues to the first landing opening to three bedrooms and a further Jack and Jill style bathroom.
Bedrooms 2 and 4 have spectacular sea views and every night the dark sky is illuminated by the characteristic flash sequence from the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse.

Bedroom 2 opens directly in to the en-suite bathroom, a spacious well-lit room with an electric shower over the bath which can also be accessed from the landing. Bedroom 3 looks out over the plot of land to the side, and coastline beyond and a useful store/box room is situated between bedrooms 2 and 4. Seabank sits under a tiled roof and has oil fired central heating powered by a Grant boiler situated in the dining room.

The additional land, to the right of the property, extending to just over half an acre was purchased in May 2016 and has its own access from the main road (A747). At present there is a burden on this land and building would be restricted to stables/field shelter or something similar. However in more recent years new properties have been erected on the adjacent land and if there is a desire to build potential purchasers should consult their solicitor for advice.

The land faces due south, and with the relevant planning permission and consents it might be possible to site an array of solar panels, providing environmentally friendly energy and reduced energy costs.

Seabank is a very desirable family home or holiday let in a popular rural area of Wigtownshire, with the added bonus of being just a stone’s throw from the beach. The perfect situation to look out on to a flat calm blue sea or watch the waves crashing in on a windy winter’s day.
