Leading off a naturally-lit landing (with storage) upstairs, are the four remaining double bedrooms and a second bathroom. Further demonstrating the home’s wonderful versatility, the largest sleeping area is currently arranged as a home cinema room, providing excellent, additional family living space, and promising endless options for use. Accompanied by built-in storage and a wash hand basin, the generously-proportioned, flexible room is flooded with dual-aspect light and enjoys panoramic views towards Whiting Bay Beach. Three further bedrooms (all with wash hand basins) enjoy good natural light and plenty of floorspace for freestanding furnishings. Completing the accommodation, the three-piece bathroom features a large, corner bath. Extensive eaves storage is available and the home is double-glazed throughout, and warmed by oil-fired central heating.
Externally, the home’s extensive garden grounds (circa one acre) offer ample opportunity (with the appropriate permission) to extend the property, if desired. Mostly laid to lawn, the garden features a wide paved patio, a wonderful array of mature trees and shrubs, three garden sheds, a greenhouse, a polytunnel, and a charming summerhouse. A private driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles.
Area Text
Whiting Bay is located on the south east corner of the island and overlooks the Firth of Clyde, with views to the very southern point of Scotland. The village provides a newsagent, post office, pharmacy, two general food stores, café, hardware store and a farm shop. There is a craft outlet and art gallery, as well as a picturesque 18-hole golf course. Primary schooling is available in the village and secondary schooling is found at the High School in Lamlash. The surrounding area provides some of Arran’s most scenic walks, not only along the shoreline, but also through the forest to Glenashdale Falls. The Isle of Arran, approximately 167 square miles in area, is sometimes referred to as “Scotland in miniature”, as it is divided into highland and lowland areas by the Highland Boundary Fault. The island is a popular destination for geologists, due to the substantial volcanic activity around 16 million years ago in the Tertiary period. There are many stone circles and standing stones dating from Neolithic times, including those on Machrie Moor and the Giants Graves above Whiting Bay. Arran is approximately 60 miles in circumference and has some of the finest scenery in Scotland, with excellent walking, rambling and sea and trout fishing. Tourist attractions include Arran Aromatics, Arran Heritage Museum, Lochranza & Lagg Distilleries and Brodick Castle. There are seven golf courses on the island with ‘Penrioch’ ideally positioned for easy access to Whiting Bay Golf Club.<br /><br />
