Seacrest, Shore Road, Isle of Arran, KA27 8SE

Situated within an exclusive and a prime location close to the shore, allowing awesome (south facing) sea views, is this, two-bedroom, detached bungalow, all on one level. Seacrest is a flexible and adaptable home and once inside, discerning purchasers will be greeted with a superb specification. The island of Ailsa Craig, a 1000 ft. high volcanic plug, sits directly in the centre of this vista and can be enjoyed from the patio doors to the front of the property.

Seacrest is a wonderful family home. Currently being used as a holiday home that also offers holiday lets commanding £595 per week in peak season. It offers huge potential to further extend (STPP) and has the added bonus of usable space above the garage, which is currently being used as a comfortable bedroom.

The property itself is deceptively spacious and provides a highly successful marriage of well-proportioned apartments. The property sits within well-maintained gardens to the front and rear, which have been designed to enjoy the wonderful outlook. This provides a private and safe environment for children and/or pets and the beach is only yards away. Al-fresco dining and relaxing on the raised decking is thoroughly recommended. The property can be accessed via a driveway, offering off-road parking for a number of vehicles, which in turn, gives access to an attached garage (with water, power and light). The driveway could easily be extended to accommodate additional vehicles if desired. A pull-down ladder (internally from within the garage) allows for access to the usable loft space. This zone is ideal overnight accommodation for friends or the perfect retreat. Peaceful walks can be enjoyed on the beach and the property overlooks the centre of a Marine Protected Area, which has a variety of wildlife including seals, otters, the occasional dolphin and numerous sea birds, all of which make this property a very special secluded haven.

The front elevation of the property belies the accommodation internally, which comprises: Welcoming reception hall. Access to the loft is gained from here - the space that exists within this area would be ideal for conversion into further living space (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents). Immediately impressive lounge, with patio doors opening into the front garden. It is from this spot where views of the everchanging waters and Ailsa Craig and Pladda can be enjoyed. The feature fireplace currently houses an electric fire but can also be used as an open fire and is the other key focal point of the room.

The kitchen/diner has a range of floor and wall units with a striking work surface, which provides a fashionable and efficient workspace. There is space for a freestanding cooker and fridge and there is ample space for a dining table and chairs for more informal dining and entertaining with friends and family and this zone is certain to become the very heart of the home. A utility/laundry room is located off the kitchen and is plumbed for a washing machine and has additional space for an under-counter freezer. This is also the perfect spot for hanging jackets and wellingtons. A personal door opens into the rear garden and access is also gained into the garage.

There are two, well-proportioned, double bedrooms. The master offers tremendous views into the distance and has a set of patio doors that open directly onto the raised decking in the front garden - which is a stunning spot to spend an evening entertaining and has been used for this purpose on many occasions. The second bedroom is currently used as a twin and has views to the rear garden which has regular visits from red squirrels. A bathroom, with an electric shower over the bath, completes the impressive accommodation. The high specifications of this family/holiday home also include (sealed) double glazing and electric heating.
