Murray Crescent, Lamlash, Isle of Arran

Accompanied by approved plans for a two-bedroom detached bungalow, this building plot enjoys a prime position in the relaxed coastal village of Lamlash, situated on the eastern aspect of Arran, a popular island off the west coast of Scotland. From this location, a level walk from Lamlash, local amenities, schools, and coastline are all within easy reach, while the main town of Brodick with its ferry port is a short journey away by car or bus links that run directly beside the plot.

The enclosed plot totals approximately 362 square meters with approved plans for a detached residence, set in wraparound gardens with the convenience of onsite private parking.

Proposed Bungalow

The proposed bungalow (totalling 84.3-metre square) has been designed to complement its surroundings with a whitewash and grey tile finish. To protect the privacy of the property and its existing neighbor, there is just one window on the southwest elevation, whilst still allowing a light and airy feel internally. The interior plan is 70.7-metre square and includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, and (with a sociable open-plan layout leading onto the gardens ) a sunny reception room and kitchen. A dedicated plant room allows for eco-friendly air source heating.

Externally, the plans boast good-sized enclosed gardens and a two-car private driveway that complies with North Ayrshire Council’s Road Development Guide. The design allows for a visibility splay of 2.0m x 20m in both directions, a 2-metre footway along the frontage of the site to connect to the existing section of footway at the bus stop. There is space allocated for bins behind the proposed property.

It is our opinion that this will be a very welcome addition to the current housing, providing a suitably sized property for the area that will appeal to a wide demographic seeking an investment, holiday retreat, or permanent home for themselves or a young family.

Area

The village of Lamlash has two hotels (The Glenisle & Lamlash Bay Hotel), two pubs (The Pierhead Tavern (PHT) & The Drift Inn), a newsagents, a chemist, a medical centre, the only hospital on the island and the Co-op. Arran’s main town, Brodick, has two larger Co-op supermarkets and a full range of professional services.

Brodick is the port from which regular sailings throughout the day, serviced by Caledonian MacBrayne, lead to the mainland at Ardrossan. Commuters and travelers now benefit from Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than before.

Ardrossan has a mainline rail station, with trains to Glasgow that connect with the ferry times, and is approximately 30 miles from Glasgow City Centre. Prestwick International Airport is 16 miles to the south of Ardrossan, with Glasgow International Airport 24 miles east of Ardrossan.

The Primary school, nursery and the only High School and Gym Campus are situated within walking distance and further Primary schooling is available in Corrie, Brodick and Whiting Bay. A frequent bus service runs around and across the island and, at Lochranza, there is the ferry terminus that allows quick access to the stunning West of Scotland via Claonaig. Kintyre here we come!
