Glencaorann , Isle of Arran

Enjoying a secluded position in coastal Brodick, this detached three-bedroom bungalow is set on a wide wraparound plot featuring low-maintenance gardens and superb private parking. The mainly neutral interiors are well-proportioned throughout and have undergone recent improvements, including new carpets and flooring in the living room and dining kitchen.

The modern front door opens into a bright vestibule and entrance hall with good built-in storage. Leading off the hall is a southerly-facing living room benefiting from distant hill views, plus a focal fireplace with a gas point and the potential for an open fire or stove installation. Next door, the modern kitchen is well-appointed with classical wood-toned cabinetry and illuminated worktops, set beside a bright seated dining area – a perfect layout for social family meals and entertaining when cooking. The kitchen enjoys an immaculate integrated finish, with an eye-level oven and microwave, an electric hob, a fridge freezer, and a dishwasher. Space for laundry goods is provided in a bright adjoining utility room, appointed in a coordinating fashion and offering garden access. Also found within the home are three good-sized bedrooms, one with a private rear position and the other two benefiting from picturesque vistas to the front. These two rooms also come with useful built-in storage, including one with a bespoke fitted office system. Finally, a bright tiled shower room (in need of modernisation) comes with vanity storage and an easy-access enclosure.  The property is kept warm and efficient via double-glazed windows and oil central heating.

Externally, the generous grounds enjoy a south-facing position with pleasant views and a manicured lawn to the front with a feature Rowan tree that gives the property its Gaelic name. There is also a secluded rear seating area with a wooden gazebo and mature hedge borders. Excellent private parking is provided by a driveway, carport, and detached single garage with remote control access.

Please note: Some of the rooms have been virtually staged from actual photographs of the rooms.

Area

Glencaorann is situated in a private and secluded setting, quietly tucked away and accessed by either a shared vehicular driveway serving itself and its immediate neighbours only or via a useful pedestrian footpath alongside which facilitates cutting off the corner and granting fast access to the nearby golf course and coastal walks.

The main ferry port at Brodick has a selection of shops including leisure facilities at the nearby Auchrannie Hotel, including swimming pools, a sports hall and spa. There is also an 18-hole golf course, primary school, bank and hotels. Brodick Castle, a National Trust for Scotland property, sits to the north and overlooks Brodick Bay. 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 Tarif (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. Additional ferry services currently operate to Troon as well as offering connecting services.

Other interesting places on the island include the brewery at Claddach, the island’s two whisky distilleries at Lochranza & Lagg and Arran Provisions factory in Lamlash. Also at Claddach, is Arran Aromatics soap, candle and perfume factory.

Arran offers some of the most spectacular hill-walking opportunities in Scotland and its seven golf courses ensure that tourists and locals alike are well provided for. For those with an interest in horses, there is an equestrian centre at Blackwaterfoot, on the west coast of the island. A sailing club can also be found in Lamlash. The island offers, by prior arrangement, opportunities to shoot pheasant, and stalk red deer, as well as some very good freshwater and sea fishing.

Directions

From Brodick Pier turn right along the shorefront, passing all shops and amenities. The road takes a tight right bend just beyond Ormidale Park and the main street runs alongside Brodick Golf Course. Take the second left turning into Glencloy Road (towards Auchrannie Spa) and then the second right into the narrow single-track road of Sheean Drive.
