North Cottage, Lamlash, Isle of Arran

North Cottage is a beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached villa enjoying an enviable position overlooking the golf course, with exceptional views across the 18th green and fairway towards Holy Isle. The outlook is truly spectacular and can be appreciated from the front garden and all principal front-facing windows, creating a wonderful sense of space and connection with the surrounding landscape.

The property is offered in walk-in condition and has been comprehensively upgraded during the current ownership of approximately 12 years. It is conveniently located within a short walk of Lamlash centre, offering easy access to local amenities, the promenade and ferry connections.

The accommodation is well balanced and thoughtfully arranged. On the ground floor, a welcoming hallway leads to a bright and comfortable lounge, featuring a beautiful log burner positioned in the corner of the room and further enhanced by insulation to the north-facing wall. There is a stylish kitchen/diner, providing ample space for a dining table and fitted with a generous range of both above- and below-countertop units, offering excellent storage. Integrated appliances include an oven, hob, extractor fan, washing machine and wine fridge, with space for an upright fridge/freezer. A useful ground floor WC has been added, and the ground floor also includes a versatile room currently designated as a Bedroom / Family Room, ideal for flexible living.

On the first floor, there are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from dual-aspect windows to the front and rear, maximising light and views, together with excellent built-in storage cupboards. A well-appointed family bathroom is located between the two bedrooms, completing the upper level accommodation.

Externally, the property boasts an attractive rear garden, ideal for children or pets, together with a raised decking area which enjoys outstanding views across the golf course, surrounding countryside and Holy Isle – perfect for outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation. The front garden further capitalises on the remarkable outlook.

Further improvements include a new bathroom and cloakroom, upgraded electrics (2021), a new boiler and pressurised water tank, replacement internal doors, new flooring (oak and composite flooring to the hall, lounge and ground floor bathroom) and a full redecoration throughout.

The property benefits from one allocated parking space, located to the side of South Cottage (the adjoining property), adjacent to the wheelie bins and clearly marked by signage. Title deeds confirm the allocated space.

North Cottage is also successfully let as a holiday home for approximately 10 weeks of the year. A Short-Term Let Licence is in place, offering purchasers the opportunity to continue the existing letting arrangement if desired. Current guide rental income is approximately £1,000 per week during peak season and £900 per week during low season.

Furnishings are available by way of separate negotiation.

Area Description

This delightful semi-detached villa is situated in an elevated position in the relaxed coastal village of Lamlash, which lies on the eastern side of the Isle of Arran, a popular island off the west coast of Scotland. The village of Lamlash offers two hotels (The Glenisle and Lamlash Bay Hotel), two pubs (The Pierhead Tavern (PHT) and The Drift Inn), a newsagent, chemist, medical centre, the island’s only hospital, and a Co-op. The property overlooks the 18th fairway and green of Lamlash Golf Club.

Brodick, Arran’s main town, provides two larger Co-op supermarkets and a full range of professional services. Brodick is the principal port, from which regular sailings throughout the day, operated by Caledonian MacBrayne, connect to the mainland at Ardrossan and Troon. Commuters and travellers benefit from Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than previously. Ardrossan and Troon both have mainline railway stations, with services to Glasgow that connect with ferry sailings, and are approximately 30 miles from Glasgow city centre. Prestwick International Airport lies 16 miles south of Ardrossan, while Glasgow International Airport is approximately 24 miles east of Ardrossan.

Primary schooling, nursery provision, and the island’s only high school and gym campus are all located within the village, with additional primary schools available in Corrie, Brodick and Whiting Bay. A frequent bus service operates around and across the island, and at Lochranza there is a ferry terminal providing quick access to the stunning west coast of Scotland via Claonaig.
