Millhouse, Seabank Road, Stranraer

Millhouse is a five bedroomed Victorian Upper Villa over 2 floors, circa 2700 square feet, with uninterrupted views across Loch Ryan. It has been renovated and refurbished throughout by the current owners whilst retaining many charming original features. This well proportioned duplex provides bright and airy rooms throughout with high ceilings and original cornicing details. This immaculately presented home enjoys superb views from all front facing rooms across Loch Ryan, with the rooms to the rear overlooking the garden up to the hills beyond.

Millhouse is conveniently located and is within easy walking distance of the town centre. The area is largely known for its mild climate, with tourism, agriculture and forestry making up a large proportion of the local economy. The surrounding countryside is a patchwork of rolling farmland, woodlands and dramatic hills as well as some wonderful coves and beaches.

Stranraer is a renowned golfing area, with the championship course at Stranraer augmented by two other excellent 18 hole courses at Portpatrick and Glenluce. The town is a hotbed of Scottish Curling, with the renowned local rink at the North West Castle Hotel having fostered the careers of many world-class curlers over the years. There are two bowling clubs in Stranraer, with several of the local villages also having clubs. The local area has many fishing lochs and sea fishing is also popular. Marine activities on Loch Ryan include sailing and coastal rowing. The town hosted the World Skiffie Championships for coastal rowing in 2019.

The local amenities of Stranraer are a short distance away from Millhouse, including the Galloway Community Hospital, Ryan Centre Leisure Centre, as well as Primary and Secondary Schools. The town benefits from a number of supermarkets and a variety of small independent shops.
