9 Brathwic Terrace, Brodick, Isle of Arran

A well-presented and thoughtfully maintained, two-bedroom semi-detached villa, set in an elevated position within a quiet cul-de-sac, enjoying fine views towards the iconic summit of Goatfell. Conveniently situated within a short level walk of Brodick’s village centre, independent shops, cafés and the main ferry terminal, this appealing home offers an excellent opportunity for a first-time purchaser or astute buy-to-let investor seeking a foothold on Scotland’s most celebrated island.

Accommodation

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, which benefits from a generously proportioned walk-in storage cupboard — a space that lends itself naturally to conversion into a study or home office, subject to the necessary planning consents. The principal reception room is a bright and airy lounge-diner, a particularly pleasing space enhanced by a feature stove and French doors that open directly onto a raised timber deck, an ideal setting for al fresco dining against the Arran backdrop. The well-appointed fitted kitchen provides ample space for a range cooker and white goods, with a useful under-stairs cupboard adding to the practical storage on offer, and a door giving further access to the decking. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary bathroom, comprehensively refitted in the summer of 2023.

Ascending to the first floor, the landing is flooded with natural light courtesy of a velux window, framing those distinctive views towards Goatfell. The principal bedroom is a comfortable and well-proportioned room with the benefit of eaves storage and an over-stairs cupboard. The second bedroom is similarly well-served with built-in storage accommodation.

Exterior

To the rear, the property enjoys a fully enclosed garden, a safe and private outdoor space well-suited to families with children or pets, adjoined by the raised decking, which extends the living space pleasingly in the warmer months. To the front, off-street parking is provided.

Further Information

The property benefits from double glazing throughout and electric heating. Recent improvements include new carpeting to the lounge in 2024 and on the stairs in 2025.

Location

Brathwic Terrace occupies an elevated and highly regarded position in Brodick, the principal town and ferry port of the Isle of Arran — affectionately known as “Scotland in Miniature” for the remarkable diversity of its landscape, community and character.

Brodick offers an excellent range of everyday amenities including two Co-op supermarkets, a broad selection of independent retailers, restaurants and cafés, together with a full complement of services including a primary school, library and medical centre.

The town’s ferry terminal, served by Caledonian MacBrayne with regular daily sailings, connects Arran to the mainland at Ardrossan and Troon — both of which benefit from mainline rail connections to Glasgow City Centre, lying approximately thirty miles to the north. Travellers also benefit from Road Equivalent Tariff ferry pricing. Prestwick International Airport lies to the south of Ardrossan, with Glasgow International Airport accessible to the east.

The nearby village of Lamlash, a short drive from Brodick, is home to the island’s high school and hospital, along with a further selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. A regular island-wide bus service provides onward connectivity, and the ferry crossing at Lochranza offers a scenic and convenient route to the West of Scotland and the Kintyre peninsula beyond.
