DESCRIPTION
Omega was designed by the owners in conjunction with an architect to capture the views over Loch Ryan, it certainly fulfils the brief and all windows at the back of the property have sea views. In addition, the front facing living room has a sea view, the design involved extending the living room out to the side cleverly providing a Loch Ryan view from behind. Omega is a surprisingly spacious property, from the entrance the property could be mistaken for a bungalow, but the design is set over three levels on an inclined site. Cellars beneath the property can be accessed from a side entrance at lower ground level.

Electric gates provide vehicular access to the property in addition to a separate pedestrian entrance, with parking available for a number of vehicles. The entrance vestibule opens to the main hall with access to the double aspect living room and kitchen/dining room, and stairs lead down to the lower ground floor and up to the first-floor level. A fitted cloakroom cupboard provides space for outdoor clothing and footwear.

A well-equipped kitchen/dining room sits at the heart of the home, a gas hob and integrated gas oven/grill provide cooking facilities and other integrated items include a fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Two windows fill the space with natural light. The informal dining area opens to a utility room with space and plumbing for white goods and pantry cupboards housing a further fridge and freezer. A door opens directly to paving leading to the garden.
Omega previously provided space to run a business, internally accessed from the kitchen, and for clients there is a separate entrance from the parking area opening to a small waiting area, office space with wash hand basin and WC cloakroom. This part of the property provides an abundance of potential and wealth of flexibility, allowing the new owner to reconfigure the space to suit their own needs and requirements.

The lower ground floor connects the outside to the inside, red bricks form some internal walls, including an area with bookshelves, enhancing the charm and appeal. The family bathroom on this floor is tiled throughout, with two well-lit alcoves an inset bath, bidet and fitted cupboard. Two of the four bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, Bedroom 1, has a picture window, double fitted wardrobes and shower room. Bedroom 2 has and double and triple fitted wardrobes, a picture window framing the view and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom 3 is a double aspect room, and bedrooms 3 and 4 have fitted wardrobes. There is an abundance of storage space on this level and a walk in shelved airing cupboard houses the Greenstar 40CDi conventional gas boiler. The heating on each floor is controlled separately, it is split into three zones with adjustable settings for each floor. The remaining lower ground floor room is currently used as storage space, it could be reconfigured to form a dressing room or playroom, depending on the requirements of the new owner.

The first floor has been designed to capture views over the edge of Stranraer and the Loch as far as you can see, and the delightful sitting room provides the ideal space to relax as a family or entertain. The picture window in the double aspect sitting room frames the view and two further windows ensure the room is filled with natural light. Once again red bricks have been incorporated to the internal design of Omega, this time forming a striking inglenook fireplace, a real focal point and ideal place to sit round with company on an evening. The formal dining room next door has a recessed cupboard, and French doors open to balcony with a terracotta tiled floor, a brick-built corner barbeque and two windows opening inwards, completing the alfresco experience. Two further rooms complete the accommodation on this floor, a triple aspect reception room/bedroom and a room currently used as an office/study. Three shelved fitted cupboards can be accessed from the hall, the middle cupboard houses the hot water tank.

Further space is available above the double garages, a room with window overlooking the parking area, measuring 9.1M x 3.962M, is currently accessed through an attic. A staircase would allow this to become a useable room/games room, with the relevant planning consents and warranties in place.
