31 Benlister Road, Lamlash

Enjoying a tranquil rural outlook, private parking, and south-facing gardens with a versatile garden room/office, this main-door split-level apartment lies on the peaceful fringes of Lamlash; a popular coastal village well-served by everyday amenities. The contemporary two-bedroom home is tastefully decorated and will appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers, or those seeking a holiday home on the island.

At ground level, a light and airy entrance hall (with open storage) leads to a utility room offering garden access. Both areas feature durable floor tiling, and the fitted utility room houses under-counter laundry appliances. The remaining accommodation is also reached from the hall via carpeted stairs to the first floor. Here, a bright landing (large enough to be used as a study area) and adjoining hall with storage, flow through to the reception room, with all areas carpeted for optimum comfort. Overlooking Benlister, the subtly decorated living/dining room provides a flexible footprint for furniture arrangements and leads directly into a kitchen sharing the same scenic outlook. The kitchen features contemporary beech-style cabinets and practical floor tiling offset by sage-green walls. Provided goods comprise an integrated oven and electric hob with a feature hood, and space for an upright fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. Completing the interiors are two bedrooms and a good-sized bathroom. The comfortably carpeted bedrooms enjoy relaxing views and handy incorporated storage. The bathroom’s all-white suite, comprising a WC suite and a shower-over-bath, is enhanced by deep-blue décor and mottled-grey floor tiles. The property benefits an air-source heat pump, and full double glazing. A loft provides useful additional storage.

Externally, lawned gardens to the front, side, and rear benefit from a sunny position. This enclosed rear garden houses a charming detached garden room, with rural vistas enjoyed inside and out. Equipped with light and power, the dual-aspect garden room is ideal as a home office, gym, or hobby room. Finally, a private allocated parking space is conveniently situated at the front of the property.

Area

This split-level apartment is situated in a quiet 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 newsagent, a chemist, a medical centre, the only hospital on the island and the 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 only High School and Gym Campus are situated within a very short level walk 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!
