Situated within strolling distance of the coastal village of Lamlash, this two-bedroom detached bungalow lies close to amenities, with immaculate gardens and a raised deck offering picturesque open views. The superb property enjoys attractive interiors and excellent private parking, including a detached garage with development potential (STPP).

The front door opens into a bright entrance hall, housing a wealth of storage and plushly carpeted for a welcoming impression. Immediately on your right is a southwest-facing living room offering ample space for a lounge suite. This comfortably carpeted room boasts the charming feature of a log-burning stove shared with the kitchen next door. The bright, dual-aspect kitchen is fitted beside a central dining area where French doors open onto a raised deck creating a delightful spot for alfresco dining and taking in the beautiful views. The stylish kitchen comes appointed with glossy duck-egg-blue cabinetry offset by statement navy-blue tiling and oak-style flooring. To achieve an immaculate finish, the space is fully integrated, and freestanding laundry appliances are discreetly housed in the garage. Across the hall from the living accommodation are two carpeted double bedrooms with outstanding wardrobe storage. One is southerly-facing, whilst the other benefits from the property’s scenic rear outlook. Finally, a modern bathroom, with partial aqua-panelling, features a WC-suite, and a bathtub with an overhead shower. The property benefits from a loft with ladder access, full double glazing, and oil central heating with a boiler installed in 2019.

Externally, in addition to the raised deck, the bungalow is hugged by generous, neatly-kept gardens with lawns and patio areas designed to enjoy the sun throughout the day. The front garden is south-facing, whilst the rear openly looks out to tranquil countryside. The large driveway has been extended to provide ease of turning and leads to a detached single garage with light and power. The garage offers opportunities to add value to the property with the potential for an upper-level studio or home office (STPP).

Area

The coastal village of Lamlash lies on the eastern aspect of the Isle of Arran, a popular island off the west coast of Scotland. The village has two hotels (The Glenisle & Lamlash Bay Hotel), two pubs (The Pierhead Tavern (PHT) & The Drift Inn), The Green Tea & Restaurant (within Lamlash Golf Club), a local church, a newsagent, a chemist, medical centre, the only hospital on the island and a 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 Tariff (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than before. Ardrossan has a mainline 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 island’s only high school and gym campus are situated within walking distance, with further primary schooling 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!
