Description

A beautiful traditional farmhouse with an adjoining two-bedroom cottage, held under one title and set within extensive, mature gardens in an idyllic rural setting. The property is further enhanced by a range of outbuildings offering excellent potential for redevelopment or alternative use, subject to the necessary planning permission.

Glencairn Farmhouse occupies a particularly picturesque position at Knockenkelly, enjoying a peaceful yet accessible location approximately one mile from the popular coastal village of Whiting Bay. The village offers a good selection of local amenities, while the surrounding countryside provides immediate access to the outstanding walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits for which the Isle of Arran is celebrated.

Glencairn Farmhouse

Glencairn Farmhouse is a substantial and characterful four-bedroom traditional home, approached via wide entrance gates leading to a generous parking and turning area to the rear.

The accommodation is well-proportioned and rich in period character. A porch opens into a practical utility room, beyond which lies an impressive living and dining room. This generous space is centred around a Rayburn set within an exposed stone wall, forming a striking focal point and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Adjoining the living space is a bright and well-appointed kitchen, fitted with a range of appliances and ample storage with cupboards both above and below the worktops. A staircase to the rear of the kitchen rises to an independent fourth bedroom or study, offering flexible accommodation well suited to guests or home working.

A delightful conservatory enjoys views across the mature gardens and provides an excellent space from which to enjoy the setting and sun throughout the year.

Beyond the kitchen lies a substantial storeroom formed within an adjoining stone workshop. These areas offer considerable scope for conversion into further living accommodation, subject to planning permission, presenting a notable opportunity to enhance and extend the farmhouse.

On the opposite side of the living and dining room is a central hall, giving access to a family bathroom and a sun lounge, as well as a comfortable sitting room featuring a fireplace. The main staircase leads to the upper floor, where there are three further light filled bedrooms and a shower room.


Rowan Tree Croft Cottage

Attached to the farmhouse and occupying the footprint of an original cottage, Rowan Tree Croft is a beautifully executed conversion completed approximately eight years ago. Finished to a high standard throughout, the cottage has operated very successfully as a holiday let, generating in the region of £25,000 per annum, and benefits from a Short Term Let Licence. It is now used as a private residence.

The accommodation is both charming and thoughtfully arranged. An open-plan living area features a Norwegian log-burning stove and patio doors opening to attractive countryside views. The fully equipped kitchen sits comfortably within the space, while two well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a bathroom with shower, benefiting from underfloor heating.

Further features include electric heating, solar panels and a hot tub, which will remain with the property.

Gardens & Grounds

The gardens and grounds are a particular highlight, extending to beautifully established and private areas enclosed by mature trees. Within the grounds are two greenhouses, a small pond and a picturesque burn running through the land. Beyond the burn lies an additional parcel of ground offering further potential.

A number of outbuildings are positioned close to the parking area, one of which is currently arranged as an outdoor bar and entertaining space. These buildings offer further scope for conversion or alternative uses, subject to the appropriate consents.

Services:

- Mains electricity

- Private water supply

- Private drainage to a modern septic tank (installed circa 2021) with a 12-person capacity, servicing both properties and allowing for further development, subject to planning.

Area

Glencairn Farmhouse and Rowan Tree Croft Cottage occupy a delightful position in the picturesque hamlet of Knockenkelly, just a short drive from the charming coastal village of Whiting Bay. Situated on the south-east corner of the Isle of Arran, Whiting Bay enjoys a fine outlook over the Firth of Clyde, with views extending towards the southernmost point of mainland Scotland.

The village offers a good range of everyday amenities, including a newsagent, post office, pharmacy, two general food stores, café/bar, restaurant, bistro, hardware store and a farm shop. Cultural and leisure facilities include a craft outlet, art gallery and a scenic 18-hole golf course. Primary schooling is available locally, with secondary education provided at the High School in nearby Lamlash. The surrounding area is renowned for its natural beauty, offering some of Arran’s most attractive walks, from coastal paths along the shoreline to forest trails leading to the dramatic Glenashdale Falls.

The Isle of Arran, extending to approximately 167 square miles, is often described as “Scotland in miniature”, its landscape divided into Highland and Lowland regions by the Highland Boundary Fault. The island is of particular interest to geologists, owing to extensive volcanic activity during the Tertiary period some 16 million years ago.

Arran is rich in history, with numerous stone circles and standing stones dating from Neolithic times, including the well-known sites at Machrie Moor and the Giant’s Graves above Whiting Bay. The island measures approximately 60 miles in circumference and is celebrated for its outstanding scenery, offering excellent opportunities for walking, rambling, sea and trout fishing. Notable attractions include Arran Aromatics, the Arran Heritage Museum, Lochranza Distillery and Brodick Castle. There are seven golf courses on the island, with Glencairn Farmhouse and Rowan Tree Croft ideally placed for easy access to Whiting Bay Golf Club.
