Dumfries and Galloway is renowned for its tranquillity, unspoilt coastlines and rolling farmland.

Upper Senwick Farmhouse is situated within the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere Reserve, internationally designated for its natural habitats and wildlife. Galloway Forest Park to the north is only the fourth Dark Sky Park in the world, and the first in the UK, offering exceptionally good conditions for stargazing. The Forest Park also provides hundreds of miles of hill walking, as well as superb mountain biking tracks.

The property is about six miles from the fishing town of Kirkcudbright, which has a good range of amenities and is known for its arts festivals, cultural events and exhibitions. The beaches at Carrick and Knockbrex are also just a  short drive away.

Katie Marr of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is an idyllic location offering the absolute best of Dumfries & Galloway. Not only is the property within the Biosphere Reserve and the Darky Sky Park but it also has lovely views over the Bay, is close to sandy beaches and within easy reach of Kirkcudbright, about 15 minutes by car. The house itself is very attractive, combining spacious accommodation with period charm. The purchaser will be ideally placed to enjoy a superb rural lifestyle with swimming, walking, and biking on the doorstep.”
