<p>Occupying a superb position to the front of the historic Dunragit House, the flat enjoys an elevated setting with stunning views across the surrounding countryside.</p><p>The thoughtfully combined accommodation offers generous and beautifully proportioned living spaces, perfectly balancing period character with modern comfort. Arranged over two floors, the flat comprises a spacious lounge, boot room, kitchen, dining room and three bedrooms. The house benefits from new windows to the first floor.</p><p>Dunragit House is a Category B listed building, designated in 1972 for its architectural and historic significance. The substantial late 18th-century mansion incorporates earlier, possibly late 17th-century, fabric and has been altered and extended over time, including 20th-century additions. Constructed of washed rubble with a formal pedimented south frontage, it retains a range of historic features including sash-and-case windows, decorative stone detailing and a U-shaped courtyard to the rear. Historically built for the Hay family, the house became their principal residence around 1830 following their departure from Castle of Park, with panelling from the castle transferred to the house.</p><p>The house was converted into residential flats in the mid-to-late 1970s, reflecting its evolution from a private country house to its current residential use. Our clients purchased the first flat in 2017 and acquired the adjoining flat in 2021, carefully and sympathetically combining the two to create a single, spacious apartment while respecting the building's historic character. The property benefits from private parking and use of the communal grounds.</p><p>Dunragit is a charming village in southwest Scotland, ideally positioned for exploring the scenic Rhins of Galloway peninsula and the surrounding coastline. The village enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining within easy reach of the nearby towns of Glenluce and Stranraer. Just outside beside the house is Glenwhan Gardens, which has been described as one of the most beautiful made gardens in Scotland with unique & stunning sea views across to the Isle of Man, Luce Bay and the Mull of Galloway. Everyday amenities are available in nearby Glenluce, while Stranraer (6 miles) provides a comprehensive range of supermarkets, independent shops, healthcare facilities, secondary schooling and leisure amenities, as well as hosting the popular annual Stranraer Oyster Festival.</p>
