Plot 2 Park Avenue Caravan Site, Lamlash, Isle of Arran

Elevated above its surroundings and set behind its own private decking to the front, this Willerby Rio benefits from an outlook that is genuinely difficult to replicate. The view across Lamlash Bay to Holy Isle is one of the defining aspects of this particular plot, enjoyed directly from the decking and from the living room which sits immediately behind it. For those to whom position and outlook matter — and on Arran, they invariably do — this plot warrants serious consideration.

Entering the home from the side, you step into the kitchen, which sits centrally within the unit and serves as the natural hub of the home. It is a practical and well-considered arrangement — everything is close to hand, and the space connects easily to both the dining area and the living room beyond. The kitchen is finished with grey cabinetry, oak-effect worktops and splashback, with feature panelling to the dinette.

The living room occupies the front of the unit, directly facing the decking and the bay beyond. The L-shaped sofa sits naturally orientated toward that outlook, and the open connection back through to the kitchen and dining area means the space functions well whether you have guests or are simply settled in for the evening.

To the rear of the unit, the two bedrooms and bathroom are neatly arranged off a short hallway. The principal bedroom is the larger of the two and includes a fitted wardrobe, overhead storage, and twin bedside tables. The second bedroom is a comfortable single or twin space. The bathroom sits between the two, with a thermostatically controlled shower enclosure, dual-flush WC, and wash basin.

Storage has been addressed sensibly throughout – under seat compartments in the lounge, space beneath the dinette bench, and a hallway cupboard supplement the fitted bedroom wardrobes, making the home well-suited to extended stays.

The interior scheme uses colour and pattern with some confidence, set against a neutral base palette. The overall effect is comfortable and contemporary.

About the Area

This delightful unit is situated in an elevated position in the relaxed coastal village of Lamlash, which lies on the eastern side of the Isle of Arran, a popular island off the west coast of Scotland. The village of Lamlash offers two hotels (The Glenisle and Lamlash Bay Hotel), two pubs (The Pierhead Tavern (PHT) and The Drift Inn), a newsagent, chemist, medical centre, the island’s only hospital, and a Co-op. The property is within walking distance of Lamlash Golf Club. Brodick, Arran’s main town, provides two larger Co-op supermarkets and a full range of professional services. Brodick is the principal port, from which regular sailings throughout the day, operated by Caledonian MacBrayne, connect to the mainland at Ardrossan and Troon. Commuters and travellers benefit from Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than previously. Ardrossan and Troon both have mainline railway stations, with services to Glasgow that connect with ferry sailings, and are approximately 30 miles from Glasgow city centre. Prestwick International Airport lies 16 miles south of Ardrossan, while Glasgow International Airport is approximately 24 miles east of Ardrossan. Primary schooling, nursery provision, and the island’s only high school and gym campus are all located within the village, with additional primary schools available in Corrie, Brodick and Whiting Bay. A frequent bus service operates around and across the island, and at Lochranza there is a ferry terminal providing quick access to the stunning west coast of Scotland via Claonaig. Kintyre here we come.
