Cnocanreoch Farm , Kilmory

Presenting a truly unique opportunity, Cnocanreoch Farm consists of a former farmhouse and byre, with the former offering a three-bedroom residence with spectacular views encompassing the Ayrshire coast, Ailsa Craig, and Northern Ireland, whilst the latter comes with planning permission already granted to convert into a residential dwelling. The converted house could be lived in by the buyer, sold, or utilised as a holiday/Airbnb rental. The entire plot extends to approximately one acre, including the farmhouse’s formal garden and extensive parking, and lies within strolling distance of Kilmory beach, which many consider to be the finest beach on the island.

The Farmhouse

Entrance and living room – Relaxing reception room

You are welcomed into the farmhouse via a hallway, offering space for coat and shoe storage alongside items of furniture, if desired, and leading into the living room. Offering a cosy space in which to relax, the living room enjoys sunny natural light through dual-aspect windows which also frame wonderful views, and floorspace is provided for lounge furniture and a seated dining area, if desired. The room’s open fire creates a warming focal point around which furniture can be arranged.

The washrooms are both located on the ground floor and comprise a bathroom and a shower room, with the former featuring a bath and a WC-suite, and the latter including a shower cubicle, a pedestal basin, a WC, and a chrome towel radiator.

The farmhouse is kept warm by an electric heating system and the windows are a combination of UPVC double glazing and timber Velux skylights

Area

Area text

Kilmory is situated at the south end of the Isle of Arran, with open views over the Firth of Clyde to the Ayrshire coast, Ailsa Craig, the Kintyre peninsula and, on a clear day, Northern Ireland. It contains the charming hamlet of Lagg, nestling in a hollow on the banks of Kilmory Water, with the picturesque 18th century Lagg Hotel. Kilmory has its own primary school, village hall, church and a regular bus service (in both directions) connects the village with the larger villages of Brodick, Lamlash, Whiting Bay and Blackwaterfoot. Worthy of mention is the walk from the village hall, through the bluebell woods via the 5000 year old Torrlinn cairn, to Kilmory beach. Thought by many to be the finest beach on Arran ! This two-mile stretch of unspoilt sand and rock pools is a spectacular spot – with views to the Mull of Kintyre, Ailsa Craig and the Irish coast beyond. For wildlife enthusiasts, there is plenty to enjoy; sea life, rare wild birds and animals.
