Description

A unique and beautifully modernised coastal home with income-generating holiday lets, extensive grounds, and stunning mountain views.
We are delighted to present Sonaburn, an exceptional and highly individual property located in the picturesque village of Sannox on the Isle of Arran. Originally constructed in the late 1950s by renowned local builders John Thomson Homes—famed for their quality craftsmanship—this beautifully presented home has been comprehensively modernised and reconfigured in recent years. Set within extensive, mature gardens beside the tranquil Sannox Burn and bordering the scenic Corrie nine-hole golf course, the property enjoys an enviable location with captivating views towards Arran’s dramatic mountain ranges.
Offering superb flexibility, Sonaburn is ideally suited to those seeking a peaceful family residence with the added benefit of two successful, income-generating holiday lets.
Accommodation – The Main House Sonaburn is accessed via a welcoming vestibule which leads into an impressive entrance hall, flooded with natural light from a striking feature window at landing level. The ground floor has been designed to maximise space and comfort, with an easy flow between living areas and the garden.
The newly fitted kitchen/diner is a particular highlight, offering modern cabinetry, integrated appliances including oven, hob, extractor and dishwasher, as well as ample space for a dining table and American-style fridge/freezer. A set of patio doors opens onto the garden, ideal for indoor-outdoor living. An under stair cupboard discreetly houses the washing machine. From the kitchen, a private staircase leads to the first-floor master bedroom, offering the option of a self-contained suite - ideal for guests or a teenager seeking independence.
The family room, complete with a log-burning stove, opens into a bright conservatory, creating a relaxed and inviting space to unwind. A further study/bedroom five overlooks the rear garden and offers flexibility for home working or additional accommodation.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect views and has access to a well-appointed Jack & Jill en suite bathroom. Bedroom four connects directly to the principal suite via a lockable door, making it an ideal dressing room or nursery if desired. Bedrooms two and three feature original fireplaces and fitted wardrobes, and are served by a stylish family shower room.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, with windows predominantly in uPVC double glazing.
Outside, Sonaburn sits within substantial and beautifully maintained grounds. There is ample private parking, a detached double garage with power and light, as well as a greenhouse and polytunnel - perfect for gardening enthusiasts. A particular highlight is the seller’s thoughtfully designed ‘35 Steps to Heaven’, leading to a raised platform with breathtaking panoramic views over Cir Mhor, the Devil’s Punch Bowl and Witch’s Step - an unrivalled spot for sunset evenings and quiet reflection.
Holiday Lets – Income-Generating Potential
Sonaburn includes two well-established holiday rentals, providing an excellent income stream of approximately £40,000–£50,000 per annum. The Studio Annex Located within the main house but with its own private access, the self-contained studio is currently a successful Airbnb listing. The space comprises a bright open-plan living/sleeping area with a kitchenette and modern shower room. It offers flexibility for continued use as a holiday let, independent accommodation for a relative, or seamless re-integration into the main house if desired.
Rental income: £70 per night (off-peak), £99 per night (peak)
The Shepherd’s Hut Tucked away in its own private corner of the grounds, this beautifully finished Shepherd’s Hut offers a unique glamping experience with uninterrupted views and proximity to the burn. Lovingly appointed with a wood-burning stove, en suite shower room, and a fully equipped kitchenette, it provides the perfect romantic retreat. Outside, guests enjoy a wood-fired hot tub, barbecue, and seating area under the stars. While the hut is classed as moveable and not included in the Home Report valuation, it will remain with the property.
Rental income: £80 per night off-peak (without hot tub), up to £170 per night peak (hot tub available at an additional £100 per night)
