DESCRIPTION
Wee Knockinaam is quite simply a hidden gem, an idyllic country cottage which you arrive at by crossing a bridge over a stream in an area of mature woodland. The property was originally built as a gardener’s cottage, for the gardeners maintaining the grounds around the nearby shooting lodge, which is now Knockinaam Lodge Hotel. The property has been extended over the years and the addition of a conservatory which has provided the perfect location to enjoy the garden and sea view all year round. On arrival at the property there is a wooden chalet, garage and workshop and a small entrance vestibule to the right of the property which opens in to the kitchen. The kitchen is compact, yet fully functional with a breakfast bar, 1.5 enamel sink and drainer, integrated dishwasher, microwave and electric oven, and electric hob. Double doors open through to the conservatory, which, frames the view of the garden and sea beyond, and opens out to a patio. The evening light at Wee Knockinaam has been described as ‘magical’, and sunsets are often reflected in the pond at the bottom of the garden. Double doors open from the conservatory in to the Sitting Room, which also has a wooden stable style door which when opened provides views of the surrounding countryside. The property has LPG gas central heating, the Worcester 28CDi boiler is housed in the entrance vestibule at the back door, and if required, extra warmth is generated in the sitting room with an LPG stove. The bathroom adjacent has a bath with shower over and electric underfloor heating.
Both bedrooms are double aspect, and bedroom 1 has fitted wardrobes, and bedroom 2 has a mezzanine level extending 1.7m from the wall and electric underfloor heating. A wooden one bedroom chalet, in situ at Wee Knockinaam, can also be used for guests.
The garden at Wee Knockinaam extends from the property to the top of the hill, where the garden becomes woodland, and continues down to the high water line, in all Wee Knockinaam extends to approximately 7 acres. There is a right of access to the beach, by continuing down the road towards Knockinaam Lodge Hotel.
SITUATION
Wee Knockinaam is situated in an elevated position above a secluded cove, overlooking the Irish Sea, approximately 0.5 miles east of Knockinaam Lodge Hotel, which is situated at sea-level, and 3 miles from Portpatrick.
Portpatrick a very popular seaside location which attracts visitors all year round. There are a number of shops, a primary school, church, putting green, beachfront hotels & restaurants, and in the summer you will find people dining al fresco as they admire the sea view. Portpatrick RNLI Lifeboat is launched from the harbour and can be seen going out to sea for both rescues and training days. There are good walking opportunities, from Portpatrick you can take a short walk up to Dunskey Castle, a 16th century ruin, set around a small bay with cliffs forming the backdrop, or for the more adventurous hill walkers you can walk the Southern Upland Way, for which Portpatrick provides the start or end point in the West. The nearest town is Stranraer. Stranraer has a secondary school, primary schools, hospital (Galloway Community Hospital), three supermarkets, shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, and a train station. The port of Cairnryan, just over 6 miles from Stranraer, has two ferry operators running passenger and freight services to Northern Ireland.
