Description

A truly exceptional coastal residence with an annexe (known as The Warren), enjoying uninterrupted sea views towards the Ayrshire coast and set within a peaceful hamlet on the outskirts of Whiting Bay, just three miles south of Lamlash.

Occupying an enviable and discreet position, yet within an easy walk into the village of Whiting Bay, Harefields House is a striking four-bedroom detached home completed approximately 12–13 years ago by highly regarded local builders, Armitage. Carefully maintained by its sole owner, the property remains in immaculate walk-in condition and retains the crisp finish and atmosphere of a near-new home, a rarity in a market where high-quality modern properties are seldom available.

From its elevated setting, the house commands breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the Firth of Clyde. The ever-changing seascape forms a dramatic backdrop to daily life, with particularly spectacular sunrises enjoyed from both principal living areas.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to maximise light, flow and outlook. A welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom/WC and useful understairs storage leads through to an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, very much the heart of the home. A sliding door opens directly onto a generous decking area, perfectly framing the sea views and creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is well appointed with integrated double oven, induction hob with extractor, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, complemented by a breakfast bar for informal dining and entertaining. A separate utility room provides further practicality and space for laundry appliances.

On the first floor, the principal living room is a wonderfully uplifting space, enhanced by a Juliette balcony and log-burning stove. The outlook from here is quite exceptional, offering a sense of calm and connection to the surrounding coastal landscape throughout the seasons. The principal bedroom suite incorporates a dressing room and en suite, both with Velux windows drawing in natural light, while two further bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom complete the accommodation.

Oil-fired central heating supplies the engineered oak flooring throughout the ground floor, which benefits from zoned underfloor heating, as well as the radiators on the first floor.

Attached to the main house lies The Warren, a beautifully presented and fully self-contained one-bedroom annexe offering independence and flexibility in equal measure. A building warrant was previously granted to create an internal doorway from the main kitchen/family area into the annexe lounge, should a purchaser wish to integrate the accommodation. As it stands, The Warren provides an excellent opportunity for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential rental use, subject to the necessary consents, an increasingly desirable feature on Arran.

The annexe comprises an entrance hall leading to a bright lounge and dining area with sliding doors opening onto decking and enjoying the same remarkable sea views as the principal house. An open-plan kitchen serves the living space, while a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary shower room complete the layout. Zoned underfloor heating enhances comfort throughout.

The gardens surrounding the property are well maintained and designed for ease of care, with generous decking positioned to take full advantage of the coastal outlook. To the rear, a generous lawned garden extends seamlessly towards neighbouring open farmland, creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy. The adjoining field ensures uninterrupted views and a protected outlook, enhancing the property’s tranquil and open coastal setting. A substantial driveway provides ample private parking, and a solid oak 'curved heel' field gate adds both character and privacy to the approach.

Harefields House and The Warren together present a rare opportunity to acquire a modern coastal home of quality and distinction in one of Arran’s most desirable settings, combining tranquillity, accessibility and truly outstanding sea views in a highly compelling offering.

Area Description

Harefields House is located in the picturesque area of King’s Cross and is a short drive to Whiting Bay, which is located on the south-east corner of the island and overlooks the Firth of Clyde, with views to the very southern point of Scotland. The village provides a newsagent, post office, pharmacy, two general food stores, café/bar, restaurant, bistro, hardware store and a farm shop. There is a craft outlet and art gallery, as well as a picturesque 18-hole golf course. Primary schooling is available in the village and secondary schooling is found at the High School in Lamlash. The surrounding area provides some of Arran’s most scenic walks, not only along the shoreline, but also through the forest to Glenashdale Falls.

The Isle of Arran, approximately 167 square miles in area, is sometimes referred to as “Scotland in miniature”, as it is divided into highland and lowland areas by the Highland Boundary Fault. The island is a popular destination for geologists, due to the substantial volcanic activity around 16 million years ago in the Tertiary period.

There are many stone circles and standing stones dating from Neolithic times, including those on Machrie Moor and the Giants Graves above Whiting Bay. Arran is approximately 60 miles in circumference and has some of the finest scenery in Scotland, with excellent walking, rambling and sea and trout fishing. Tourist attractions include Arran Aromatics, Arran Heritage Museum, Lochranza Distillery and Brodick Castle. There are seven golf courses on the island with ‘Harefields House’ ideally positioned for easy access to Whiting Bay Golf Club.
