Description

A striking and highly individual four/five bedroom detached residence, constructed approximately 12 years ago on the footprint of a former cottage, occupying an elevated position with truly outstanding panoramic views towards Pladda and Ailsa Craig. With very few modern homes available on the Island, this impressive “upside down” property offers all the appeal, efficiency and feel of a contemporary new build in a spectacular coastal setting.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise the outlook, with the principal living space positioned on the first floor. Here, a superb open plan lounge/dining/kitchen forms the heart of the home. This expansive and light-filled room is centred around a dramatic full-height, triple glazed floor-to-ceiling window which perfectly frames the far-reaching sea views and provides direct access onto the wonderful terrace. Engineered flooring runs throughout this level, enhancing the clean, modern aesthetic, while a pellet stove (Providing hot water and servicing radiators) creates a warm and inviting focal point.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances including a double oven, microwave, induction hob with extractor hood, wine fridge and dishwasher. A separate cupboard discreetly houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. Also on this floor is a highly adaptable room accessed off the lounge, described as an office but equally suited as and additional bedroom, offering excellent flexibility for guests, home working or additional reception space. A cloakroom completes the first floor accommodation.

On the ground floor are the main bedroom suites. Bedroom one and Bedroom two both benefit from their own en suite shower rooms, providing excellent comfort and privacy. Two further well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a separate family bathroom. The central hallway offers good storage and an easy, practical flow to each room.

Externally, the terrace off the living area is a standout feature — an exceptional vantage point from which to enjoy the ever-changing coastal scenery and sunsets. The property further benefits from double glazing, ample private parking and a strong sense of privacy.

With its flexible layout, modern specification and breathtaking outlook, this is an ideal permanent residence, second home or highly attractive AirBnB investment opportunity in a location where contemporary properties of this calibre are rarely available.


Area Description

‘Breadalbane Cottage’ occupies an elevated position within Kildonan, enjoying far-reaching southerly views overlooking the islands of Pladda and Ailsa Craig. This detached villa is situated in the village of Kildonan, on the south of the Isle of Arran. This pretty village lies just off the main coast road and has a sandy beach within a short stroll, as well as a bar/restaurant within walking distance of the property. Kildonan is a haven for otters, seals and a wide range of other wildlife. It also boasts Yellowport Harbour, a sheltered mooring for small boats, located opposite Kildonan Village Hall.

‘Breadalbane Cottage’ is four miles from Whiting Bay, which offers shops, pubs, restaurants and other amenities including a primary school, village hall, garages, a golf course, and bowling and putting greens. A further four miles on, Lamlash provides a secondary school, hospital, police, fire and coastguard stations, together with sheltered mooring facilities in Lamlash Bay.

The main ferry port at Brodick (12 miles) offers a selection of shops and leisure facilities at Auchrannie Resort, including swimming pools, a sports hall and spa. There is also an 18-hole golf course, primary school, banks and hotels. Brodick Castle, a National Trust for Scotland property, sits two miles to the north and overlooks Brodick Bay. Brodick is the port from which regular sailings throughout the day, operated by Caledonian MacBrayne, connect to the mainland at Ardrossan and Troon. Commuters and travellers now benefit from Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than previously. Ardrossan and Troon both have main line rail stations, with trains to Glasgow that connect with ferry times, and Ardrossan is approximately 30 miles from Glasgow city centre. Glasgow Prestwick Airport is 16 miles south of Ardrossan, while Glasgow Airport is 24 miles east of Ardrossan.

Other notable attractions on the island include the brewery at Claddach, the distillery at Lochranza and the Arran Provisions factory in Lamlash. Also at Claddach is the Arran Aromatics soap, candle and perfume factory. A short drive away, Lagg Distillery offers excellent visitor facilities and amenities. Arran provides some of the most spectacular hill-walking opportunities in Scotland, and its seven golf courses ensure that tourists and locals alike are well catered for. For those with an interest in horses, there is an equestrian centre at Blackwaterfoot on the west coast. The island also offers, by prior arrangement, opportunities to shoot pheasant, stalk red deer, as well as enjoy very good freshwater and sea fishing.
