" My own family connection is with the Mull of Kintyre and I am forever linked to the appeal of sea views, yet I have mostly lived in the countryside …secretly I yearn for a sea view as the seascape can change literally by the minute, whilst the countryside landscape is very much a seasonal change.

After 39 Years in the property industry, marketing/selling a myriad of homes …Gracefield easily secures the accolade of being a very Special Home. It will be a very lucky Buyer that settles in to enjoy all its qualities …and of course that magical sea view."
