A fine example of Art Deco living

AN American Art Deco style property on the water’s edge of Loch Ryan is on the market.

And the four bedroomed ‘The Moorings is described by agents Galbraith as ‘exceptional’.

It even features in the Scottish Thirties book, published in 1987, as a fine example of 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 is handling the sale and 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.”

At the heart of the home is a spacious dining kitchen with French doors directly onto the patio offering 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.

There is also a formal dining room and a study/music room.

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

Outside there’s a well maintained garden with lawn and planting, including a windmill palm and cabbage tree.

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

The Moorings is in Broadstone Road, Stranraer and is for sale for offers over £525,000.
