The property features in the Scottish Thirties book, an introduction to architecture, published in 1987 due to its fine example of the American Art Deco style with flat roofs, curved edges, first floor balconies and wood finishings throughout retained, including the original wooden door between the entrance porch and the main hall.

Sheena Ramsay, handling the sale on behalf of Galbraith said: “The Moorings provides a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional property with a timeless design.

“Situated in an elevated position in a highly sought after location in Stranraer, it is a statement property which enjoys far reaching views of Loch Ryan and beyond.

“The principal rooms to the front elevation are beautifully appointed and well-lit, with natural light reflecting the stunning setting.

“Meticulously and thoughtfully maintained over the years, Art Deco features continue to add character and creativity in this modern and comfortable family home.”

Double arched front doors lead into the entrance porch and the main hall where two stained-glass windows add an artistic touch.

At the heart of the home is a spacious dining kitchen with underfloor heating. French doors open directly onto the patio offering breathtaking views over the Loch.

Reception rooms include a triple aspect sitting room with wood burning stove, garden views and double doors leading to the conservatory which enjoys panoramic sea views, abundant natural light and direct access to the garden, integrating indoor and outdoor living.

Additional reception rooms include a formal dining room and a study/ music room which could be adapted to suit the buyers needs.

An Art Deco style staircase leads to the second floor where there are four well appointed bedrooms, two of which have private balconies. The spacious master suite has a balcony and an en suite shower room with twin-sink.

Designed for modern living, The Moorings is equipped with gas central heating controlled via Hive technology.

On arrival at the property, there are two gated driveways, the second of which can be used to store a boat or second vehicle. A slipway opposite The Moorings is ideal for launching a small boat.

The well maintained garden is laid to lawn with planted borders and the mature shrubs and trees have been specially selected for the coastal location. A windmill palm and cabbage tree cordyline provide a tropical feel amongst more familiar species.

A shed and wood store provide outdoor storage space. A garage can be accessed from within the property.
