Description

Butt Lodge occupies a prime position in the valley (Sits in a plot of Approx. 2 acres) which is reached by a private road that leads from the main road to the property. The property was built in 1896 in a traditional style and has since been sensitively refurbished and reconfigured by the current owners to be used as a successful B&B (with five-star reviews!) overlooking Lochranza Golf Course, including extensive views over the mountains, the sea and across to Kintyre! The exterior of the property has been recently painted by the current owners, and a number of windows have also been replaced, all of which are triple glazed. Set over two floors, the interior layout is extremely versatile—it works well in its current format or could be utilised as a spacious family home.

The property is entered through a front vestibule, which leads into a welcoming reception hallway and garden room, with a staircase and access to the main living accommodation. A WC can be found off the hallway. The principal reception rooms are to the front of the property and take full advantage of the views on offer. The drawing room benefits from a feature open fireplace and dual aspect views with two picture windows to the side looking down the valley and a large bay window to the front looking into the valley itself. The dining room provides ample space for a large dining table, with views of the valley and a focal fireplace.

The newly fitted family kitchen/diner is well equipped with a range of wall and base units, a royal blue Aga, plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, and a flagstone floor. The office/study, a large utility room, laundry room, and larder are located off the kitchen. There is also secondary access to the garden via the utility. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a fabulously spacious en-suite bedroom (used as owner’s accommodation) with wall-to-wall built-in wardrobes, beautiful hardwood flooring, and patio doors leading to the Japanese garden. The wonderful en-suite bathroom has a shower and freestanding bath.

The first floor comprises of seven spacious double bedrooms, all with en-suite shower rooms. The fabulous Castle Suite has a spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine level with a feature porthole window. Once again, this fully showcases the extensive views over the mountains, the sea, Golf Course and across to Kintyre! One of the bedrooms (Numbered 5 on the floor-plan) also benefits from a separate sitting area. A second staircase leads to the utility area off the kitchen.

Outbuildings

The property benefits from a number of useful outbuildings. There is a large (elevated) timber-built sun house, which provides plenty of space and shelter from the elements. The sellers have, during their time of ownership, obtained planning permission to further develop this site by replacing the sun house with a spectacular new dwelling (erection of ancillary staff accommodation for Butt Lodge B&B). A huge range of exciting options are available—this could be used by owners/family or paying guests. There is also a stone-built steading, which is currently used for storage.

Gardens & Grounds

The property is surrounded by lush green gardens and a large gravel driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and have large mature trees and hedges. There is a Japanese garden and patio to the rear of the house which provides a perfect sunny spot for a table and chairs.

Area Description

Lochranza is thought to be the most scenically attractive of Arran's villages and is sheltered by the surrounding hills. The village focal point is Lochranza Castle, which sits on a shingle spit. On the southern side of the loch, other attractions include the Isle of Arran Distillery, which began production in 1995, the large population of red deer, golden eagles, seals and otters and a 11-hole golf course. There is a ferry terminus that allows quick access to the stunning West of Scotland via Claonaig. Kintyre here we come! The village has an active local community, post office, surgery and the 'Stags' cafe providing an excellent take-away option on certain days. The Lochranza Hotel was purchased by the local community in 2022 and re- opened in 2023. Primary schooling is available at the nearby village of Pirnmill, with secondary schooling in Lamlash.

Brodick (Arran's main town) has two larger Co-Op supermarkets and a full range of professional services. Brodick is the port from which regular sailings throughout the day, serviced by Caledonian MacBrayne, lead to the mainland at Ardrossan/Troon. Commuters and travellers now benefit from Road Equivalent Tarrif (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than before. Ardrossan & Troon both have a main line rail station, with trains to Glasgow that connect with the ferry times, and is approximately 30 miles from Glasgow City Centre. Prestwick International Airport is 16 miles to the south of Ardrossan, with Glasgow International Airport 24 miles east of Ardrossan.
