Hazelbank , Isle of Arran

Built around 1900 (circa) and with a modern extension, Hazelbank is a detached villa in one of the most stunning locations on the Isle of Arran. It is set directly beside the coast and flanked by rolling hills and vast greenery, enjoying the very best sunsets on the island and unrestricted views across the Kilbrannan Sound to the eastern side of Kintyre. It is a dramatic outlook and backdrop that also ensures seclusion and privacy, whilst still being within easy reach of Pirnmill village’s amenities and the active local community. The primary school is a short stroll away as well, along with the renowned Lighthouse restaurant. The home itself further boasts expansive rooms that are in exceptional condition, pairing attractive interior design with high-end finishings. It features three reception rooms, three bedrooms, and three washrooms, as well as the most beautiful wraparound gardens (covering almost two thirds of an acre). The property also has a large double garage connected to the kitchen, which could easily be converted into additional living accommodation or even an annexe flat for guests or the holiday rental market (STPP).

Entrance – A stunning coastal home

Set along the coast and hugged by open green spaces, the approach to Hazelbank is nothing short of breathtaking. A long private driveway connects to the house, with the front door opening into a naturally-lit hall with understairs storage and a cloakroom WC. It is a welcome that leaves a lasting impression.

Reception rooms – Beautiful reception rooms

Hazelbank has three beautiful reception areas. The living room is the place to unwind, enjoying a substantial footprint for a wide assortment of furnishings. It is enhanced by a calming neutral palette and plush carpeting, as well as a handsome fireplace inset with a gas stove. Display shelving and twin windows complete the room. A separate dining room continues the appealing aesthetic, enjoying dual-aspect windows with views over the water. It has a shelved recess, built-in storage, and ample floorspace for sociable dinner parties. In addition, there is a south-facing garden room extension, added approximately 10 years ago. Perfect for relaxing and socialising, whatever the time of year, this space is the ideal setting for soaking up the magnificent garden panoramas and views over the Kilbrannan Sound. Sliding glazed doors extend the space out onto the garden’s patio, whilst underfloor heating ensures a cosy environment no matter the weather.

Kitchen – An exquisite centrepiece

The breakfasting kitchen is an exquisite centrepiece to the home. It features a central island and a stylish colour palette, pairing Shaker-inspired cabinetry in fashionable mix-and-match tones with generous, down-lit worksurfaces. It also has a fitted breakfast bar, space for comfortable seating, and a shelved recess for cookery books. Plus, there is a handsome brick-framed gas stove, adding to the statement design. This show-stopping space is completed by neat storage solutions and an integrated (five-ring) induction hob and twin ovens by Neff. A door from the kitchen provides access to the neighbouring garage, which is ripe for a conversion (STPP).

Bedrooms – Three bedrooms with incredible views

The three bedrooms are upstairs, extending off a naturally-lit galleried landing with two built-in cupboards. Each room has generous proportions and incredible elevated views, as well as attractive styling that maintains the home’s impeccable standards. The dual-aspect principal bedroom has the added advantage of built-in wardrobes, Karndean flooring around the surround of the floor, and attic access, whilst bedrooms two and three are softly carpeted.

Bathrooms – Three modern washrooms

The bedrooms are accompanied by two en-suites: a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, accessed from the first and second bedrooms (the latter via a pocket door), and a bright three-piece bathroom with overhead shower (attached to bedroom three). The Jack-and-Jill bathroom is particularly impressive, featuring Karndean flooring and a charming window seat to admire the views. It also has a five-piece suite, incorporating a toilet, a bidet, a storage-set washbasin, a ladder-style towel radiator, a rainfall quadrant shower, and a double-ended bathtub. On the ground floor, there is also the convenient cloakroom WC as well.

The property has double-glazed windows throughout and LPG (Calor gas) gas central heating. It also has mains water and septic tank.

Garden & Parking – The pride and joy of Hazelbank

Spanning approximately two thirds of an acre, the wraparound gardens are the pride and joy of Hazelbank. They are immaculately landscaped and maintained to a very high standard, incorporating epic lawns, mature planting, and a patio for alfresco dining. With the coast to the front and a tree-lined hill to the rear, the gardens are truly special providing a magical haven for the entire family and awe-inspiring panoramas over the Kilbrannan Sound.
