Torr Nan Uain, Shannochie, Isle of Arran, North Ayrshire, KA27 8SJ

The Bothy is located at the southerly end of Arran. This location has many attractive coastal and forestry walks and is a short distance from Kilmory beach. The Bothy is only 4 miles from Whiting Bay with shops, pubs, restaurants and other amenities including a primary school, village hall, garages, golf course, bowling and putting greens. Four miles further on, is Lamlash with a secondary school, hospital, police, fire and coastguard stations and sheltered mooring facilities in Lamlash Bay.

The main ferry port at Brodick (12 miles) has a selection of shops

including leisure facilities at Auchrannie Hotel, 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 2 miles to the north and overlooks Brodick Bay. Brodick is the port from which regular sailings throughout the day, serviced by Caledonian MacBrayne, lead to the mainland at Ardrossan. Commuters and travellers 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.

THELOCATION

Other interesting places on the island include the brewery at Claddach, the distillery at Lochranza and Arran Provisions factory in Lamlash. Also at Claddach, is Arran Aromatics soap, candle and perfume factory. At the south end of the island, at Kilmory, is the creamery - home of the famous Arran cheese - although this is now being challenged by cheese factories at Claddach and Kilpatrick.

Arran offers some of the most spectacular hill-walking opportunities in Scotland and its seven golf courses ensure that tourists and locals alike are well provided for. For those with an interest in horses,

there is an equestrian centre at Blackwaterfoot, on the west coast of the island. A sailing club can also be found in Lamlash. The island offers, by prior arrangement, opportunities to shoot pheasant, stalk red deer, as well as some very good fresh water and sea fishing.

THELOCATION

If you have ever leafed through a Scottish design magazine, you will know that there are certain houses that capture the imagination and take your breath away! ‘The Bothy’ is such a place – beautiful, stylish, impressive, but at the same time, a fun and functional place in which to live life to the full and to enjoy with friends and family. Beautifully positioned in a tranquil location with spectacular views over the countryside and the Firth of Clyde, a unique and renovated two-bedroom, farm steading, which has been formed by converting the byre in the quiet hamlet of Shannochie, on the outskirts of

Kilmory, and still retains the external stone walls of the original steading. ‘The Bothy’ forms part of the development of the ‘Torr Nan Uain’ farmhouse with outbuildings, which have been professionally renovated to create an attractive development of just four residential properties.

The property has been very well upgraded both internally and externally, to create fantastic and flexible accommodation, which only a viewing will qualify. When the builders re-developed (circa 2007) this family/holiday home, they used luxurious, high-quality fittings to create a house that is the last

word in sophistication and refined taste. Great emphasis has been placed on the creation of easily managed and free-flowing space on a bright and fresh layout. The property sits at the rear of the Torr Nan Uain courtyard and there is ample space for private and communal parking. The Bothy has an enclosed level garden with a patio area, raised decking and lawns with flower borders. There is also a large timber garden shed for additional storage.

Immediately impressive lounge, which has a range of furniture configurations and a picture window to the front aspect, flooding the room with natural light. Access can be gained from here into the sun-room, which is a great room to just relax and chill and offers superb views towards the Firth of Clyde. French doors open from here onto the patio and the raised section of decking in the rear garden - which is a stunning spot to spend a summer’s evening

entertaining and has been used for this purpose on many an occasion. The ‘hub’ of the home is the magnificent kitchen/diner, which has been beautifully fitted to include a good range of floor and wall mounted units with a striking worktop, providing a fashionable and efficient workspace. It further benefits from an integrated oven, hob, extractor fan, dishwasher, fridge and freezer - making this the ideal kitchen for an aspiring chef! There is ample room within this zone for a dining table for more informal social gatherings or for simply grabbing a coffee or reading the Sunday papers! There is

also room for an upright fridge/freezer. A door opens from here into the inner hallway, allowing access to the utility room, which is plumbed for a washing machine and has space for a tumble dryer. A personal door opens into the garden. A pull-down ladder allows access into the loft space offering invaluable storage. The family bathroom is also located off the inner hallway and comprises a three-piece suite, with an electric shower over the bath.
