Ardlui House, Kingscross, Whiting Bay, Isle of Arran
Guide price £550,000

The beautiful Island of Arran, with its wide variety of rugged scenery, picturesque villages and stunning shorelines, has been attracting holiday-makers in increasing numbers since the Clyde steamers of the 19th century.
Nowadays, it also offers an unparalleled quality of life for those lucky enough to be able to live there full-time, or able to keep a second home on the island.
Although it feels as peacefully remote from the hurly-burly as ever, modern transport links, including up to 10 sailings per day in summer, mean that it is less than two hours from both Glasgow International Airport and the centre of Glasgow.
Ardlui House and its appended cottages enjoy a feeling of perfect isolation; yet are ideally located in the centre of the eastern coastline of Arran, just 15 minutes drive from Brodick pier, and a mile north of the pretty coastal village of Whiting Bay.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional sandstone villa in one of the most stunning locations on the island, surrounded by its own pastures, and with considerable potential for additional income and development.
The subjects comprise the main three bedroom, three bathroom farmhouse, with two appended cottages as well as individual gardens, fields, and a caravan site.
The panoramic views from the property are absolutely spectacular, taking in the mountains rising behind Lamlash to the north, Holy Isle to the east, and south-easterly views over the Firth of Clyde.
