8 Millhill, Lamlash

Set in the coastal village of Lamlash, in an elevated position with spectacular sea views, this contemporary detached villa is an exceptional family home for luxury lifestyles. It has substantial accommodation and occupies a generous plot of 719 square metres, with wraparound gardens and parking for multiple cars. The exclusive property features four double bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, and it is presented in true walk-in condition with high-quality fixtures and fittings and fresh neutral décor.

Inside, a vestibule and hall (both with built-in storage) immediately establish the home’s high standards. On the right is the living room, which enjoys white décor, soft carpeting, and generous floorspace for comfortable furniture. It has a log-burning stove, and is fronted by south-facing windows and a glazed door to the rear garden – perfect for families. On the opposite side of the hall is the kitchen/dining room, which has an expansive footprint for a large table and chairs and additional lounge furniture, alongside a fantastic range of cream-coloured cabinets and downlit worksurfaces in a wood finish. It is a stylish design that is enhanced by complementary splashback tiles, garden access, and seamlessly integrated appliances by Neff (electric hob, raised oven and microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher). A well-appointed utility room supplements the kitchen, whilst the ground floor is completed by a family shower room and a versatile double bedroom/office. From the hall, a naturally-lit staircase leads up to a galleried landing that has a discreet study area set below a skylight. Extending from here are the three remaining double bedrooms, all of which feature dormer windows and built-in wardrobes. The principal and second bedrooms benefit from sea views, with the former also boasting a contemporary en-suite shower room. The rest of the first floor is served by an equally impressive three-piece family bathroom. The property has oil central heating and double glazing.

Externally, wraparound gardens encase the home, with manicured lawns to the front, sides, and rear. The rear garden also features a suntrap south-facing aspect and a neat patio for alfresco dining whilst admiring the sea views. To the front, there is a multi-car driveway and an attached single garage.

Area

Lamlash

This detached villa is in a very quiet and elevated location in the relaxed coastal village of Lamlash, which lies on the eastern aspect of the Isle of Arran, a popular island off the west coast of Scotland. The village of Lamlash has two hotels (The Glenisle & Lamlash Bay Hotel), two pubs (The Pierhead Tavern (PHT) & The Drift Inn), a local church, a newsagents, a chemist, medical centre, the only hospital on the island and the refurbished Co-op. Brodick, Arran’s main town, has two larger Co-Op supermarkets and a full range of professional services. Brodick is the port from which regular sailings throughout the day, serviced by Caledonian MacBrayne, lead to the mainland at Ardrossan. Commuters and travellers now benefit from Road Equivalent Tarrif (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than before. Ardrossan has a main line rail station, with trains to Glasgow that connect with the ferry times, and is approximately 30 miles from Glasgow City Centre. Prestwick International Airport is 16 miles to the south of Ardrossan, with Glasgow International Airport 24 miles east of Ardrossan. The Primary school, nursery and the only High School and Gym Campus are situated within walking distance and further Primary schooling is available in Corrie, Brodick and Whiting Bay. A frequent bus service runs around and across the island and, at Lochranza, there is the ferry terminus that allows quick access to the stunning West of Scotland via Claonaig. Kintyre here we come!
