Description

Extremely well presented detached Victorian Villa offering light spacious accommodation throughout. Viewing highly recommended. Originally built around 1878 by a local mill owner, Fernbank House is an imposing detached Victorian Villa set back from Lewis Street within a private walled garden. The current owners have sympathetically refurbished and renovated the property to high standard throughout whilst retaining many original features, including ornate ceiling cornicing and ceiling roses. Deep skirting boards and ornate corbels. The property has a newly installed boiler with smart heating thermostat controls on each level and is fully double glazed as well as benefiting from a fully linked fire alarm system throughout the property. This elegant family home offers the ideal blend of modern contemporary living with traditional Victorian features. Fernbank House is sure to suit a number of different purchasers due its flexible layout and well-proportioned rooms. Fernbank is located within a conservation area in the coastal town of Stranraer in the west of Dumfries and Galloway. 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. 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 Fernbank including, the Galloway Community Hospital, Ryan Centre Leisure Centre, as well as Primary and Secondary Schools. The town benefits from a number of supermarkets nearby and a variety of small independent shops. Garden Fernbank House is well positioned within an elevated garden. The front of the property is mainly mono-blocked providing ample off street parking for a number of cars with a wrought iron sliding gate across the driveway and wrought iron railings bordering the front of the garden at pavement level. To the side of the property is a wooden gate leading round to the walled rear garden which has been cleverly landscaped to make the most of the plot size. Immediately adjacent to the house is a large gravel area which can also be accessed from both the snug and rear hall providing an ideal patio area for "alfresco" dining. Steps lead up from the gravelled area to a terraced area which is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by raised flower beds that are well stocked with a variety of mature shrubs. Workshop Log Store Solar Panels As well as the newly fitted boiler and 'smart thermostats', Fernbank also has 12 solar panels which are erected at the back of the rear garden. The electricity generated by the solar panels is used by the current owners and any additional electricity which isn't used is then exported back to the grid and receive "FIT" payments for doing so. The current contract is with Scottish Power and is due to end in 2033. It is thought that a new owner may decide to add on battery storage too which would allow them to use 100% of the electric generated.
