Description

Waterstone House is an impressive and substantial 4/5 bedroom detached villa, offering spacious and flexible accommodation across two levels. Constructed circa 2008, this striking double-fronted home sits peacefully towards the rear of a generous level plot. Just moments inland from the popular beach of Whiting Bay, the property offers level access to the village amenities and a bus stop at the road end.

Having previously operated as a highly successful holiday let accommodating up to ten guests (no current licence in place), Waterstone House is offered in excellent condition. The property could also be sold with the majority of contents, providing an appealing turnkey opportunity for prospective buyers.

Stepping inside Waterstone House, you are greeted by a bright and welcoming entrance hallway that immediately conveys the sense of space and quality that defines this home. From here, the ground floor unfolds beautifully, with each room flowing naturally into the next to create a layout perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining.

To the front of the property, the elegant lounge enjoys a twin window aspect that fills the room with natural light. This generous space exudes comfort and character — a perfect setting to unwind or gather with family and friends.

To the rear, the heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family area. Spanning the full width of the house, this superb space is both stylish and practical, offering an ideal setting for relaxed family living or larger social occasions. The well-appointed kitchen features a comprehensive range of contemporary units, a central island providing additional workspace, and ample room for dining. Twin patio doors open directly to the side and rear patios, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living and easy access to the terraced garden beyond.

A separate utility room is conveniently positioned off the kitchen, equipped with plumbing for laundry appliances and offering external access via a ramp to the side of the property — an especially practical feature for day-to-day use.

Also on the ground floor is a versatile double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, which could serve equally well as a master suite, guest accommodation or a family room depending on requirements. A useful understairs cupboard and a separate WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

The upper floor is accessed via an attractive oak staircase which rises to a spacious landing, filled with natural light. From here, four well-proportioned double bedrooms are accessed, all offering built-in storage. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with twin fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms provide comfortable and flexible spaces for family or guests, all finished to the same high standard. The family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary four-piece suite including a corner shower, while a walk-in cupboard houses the hot water tank and a further cupboard provides additional linen storage.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The gardens wrap gracefully around the house, thoughtfully landscaped to offer a blend of sunlit seating areas, shaded corners and mature planting. The outdoor space feels both private and tranquil — an ideal haven for relaxation. The extensive gravelled driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, with room for a boat if desired, while a timber shed offers useful garden storage. The oil-fired boiler is housed externally to the side of the property.

Directions
From Brodick Pier, turn left and proceed through Lamlash to Whiting Bay. Towards the end of Whiting Bay, turn right up Montrose Terrace, where Waterstone House is the first property on the right at the end of the road.

Area Description

Whiting Bay is a vibrant coastal village situated on the south-east corner of the Isle of Arran, overlooking the Firth of Clyde with far-reaching views to the southern tip of Scotland. The village offers a range of amenities including a post office, pharmacy, newsagent, two general stores, café/bar, restaurant, bistro, hardware shop, and a popular farm shop. There are also a number of independent craft and art outlets, as well as the scenic 18-hole Whiting Bay Golf Course.

Primary schooling is available within the village, with secondary education provided at the High School in Lamlash. The surrounding area offers some of the island’s most picturesque walks, including coastal trails and forest paths leading to the renowned Glenashdale Falls.

The Isle of Arran, often described as “Scotland in miniature,” offers a captivating blend of highland and lowland landscapes divided by the Highland Boundary Fault. With its rich geological history, ancient standing stones, and outstanding natural beauty, the island attracts visitors for walking, cycling, fishing, and golf—with seven courses across Arran, including nearby Whiting Bay Golf Club. Local attractions include Brodick Castle, Lochranza Distillery, Arran Heritage Museum, and Arran Aromatics, all easily accessible from Waterstone House.
