Challoch
Farmhouse is a
traditional Scottish farmhouse which has been carefully renovated and
upgraded
over recent years yet has retained much of its cottage charm and period
features. It is pleasantly situated amidst
unspoilt rural countryside, overlooking its own land of approximately
three
acres. The property lies about 9.5 miles
south of Stranraer on the Rhins Peninsula, an area of unspoiled natural
beauty
which enjoys a remarkably mild climate and westerly aspects across the
Irish
Sea to the Mountains of Mourne. The
surrounding area offers beautiful coastal waters and some of Scotland’s
finest fishing and
shooting. There are three golf courses
in the area and the championship courses of Turnberry, Royal Troon and
Prestwick are about an hour and half’s drive away. Sandhead
village offers local services, as
does the nearby village of Drummore, whilst a
more varied range of shops and amenities is available in Stranraer.
Primary schooling is available in Sandhead
with secondary schooling in Stranraer.
Regular high speed ferries travel from Stranraer to Belfast and there
is a railway station with
connections to Glasgow.
