Detached house for sale in Aldersyde Bunkhouse, Lamlash, Isle Of Arran, North Ayrshire KA27

Aldersyde Bunkhouse in Lamlash offers a truly exciting opportunity for a developer to create four apartments which will be in high demand on the island, with planning permission already approved. The property's history involves being used as tourist accommodation, and with this new lease of life, the apartments are sure to appeal to those looking to live on the island full-time, those looking for a second/holiday home, or as a rental investment. Full refurbishment is required, giving the new owner an opportunity to create sought-after, high-spec island homes.

The planning permission outlines two ground-floor apartments and two first-floor apartments. The ground-floor properties will both have their own private main-door entrances, accessed via ramps to make them accessible for all buyers. The first-floor apartments will also have their own private main-door entrance as well. The apartments will comprise entrance hallways, fantastic open-plan kitchen, living, and dining rooms ideal for entertaining and everyday life, and two good-sized bedrooms, with the ground-floor apartments benefiting from shower rooms and the first-floor homes featuring bathrooms. Providing additional space, one ground-floor apartment has three bedrooms (instead of two). Furthermore, the first-floor homes will also boast their own private balconies.

The development will also offer private residents' parking and lies within easy strolling distance of the amenities that Lamlash has to offer, including a Co-op supermarket, a Post Office, a selection of independent retailers, transport links across the island, a primary school, the island's only high school, the ferry port to the Holy Isle, Lamlash Green, and the picturesque waterfront.
