Freehold

Description

Welcome to a truly spectacular and one-of-a-kind detached family home, which offers an exceptional amount of space and unrivalled versatility. Consisting of three connected properties, Benview House, Benview Cottage and The Glasshouse, this stunning home features multiple reception areas, two stylish kitchens, and multiple high-end bathrooms, as well as a total of six double bedrooms. The original farm buildings were erected in the mid 1860s as a pair of traditional rural cottages (plus lean-to byre). In the 1930s a retired sea Captain (Captain Black) undertook a significant extension/expansion of the larger cottage with two aims: to create an imposing villa (now Benview House) with commanding views of the sea to the east and to allow for a large drawing room on a scale that could accommodate his passion for social gatherings and ceilidh dancing. The current owners purchased these buildings around 10years ago and have since spent a substantial sum to extensively upgrade and renovate the entire property and garden up to the present standard, winning a 5-star AA rating and Scottish B&B of the year along the way. Finished in Farrow and Ball colours, along with William Morris, Timorous Beasties and Ellie Cashman wallpapers, this incredible home is further enhanced by carefully retained Strathclyde Arts and Crafts style period features - this is a unique property that must be viewed to appreciate how impressive it is. Situated above the village of Whiting Bay with commanding sea views over the Firth of Clyde, Benview's location is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Peaceful and intimate, it is the perfect base for exploring Arran.
