Summary - THE MACKLEBAE, ISLE OF ARRAN, MACHRIE KA27 8DZ
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Renovated three-bedroom home with panoramic sea views and modern comforts.
Detached newly renovated farmhouse-style cottage with modern extension
Set on the west coast of Arran, The Macklebae is a newly renovated detached cottage combining traditional stone character with contemporary, light-filled living spaces. The house offers three double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one ensuite), two generous reception rooms and a large balcony with elevated panoramic views across Machrie Bay, Kilbrannan Sound and the Mull of Kintyre.
Comfort and efficiency are strong selling points: the property has an excellent EPC rating, electric hot water and central heating with underfloor heating and radiators, wifi-controlled heating, and a log-burning stove for atmosphere. The interior is presented in immaculate condition and the open-plan ground-floor living/dining area flows to patio doors that frame the sea view.
Practicalities and constraints are straightforward. Access is via a shared track maintained by local households (contribution circa £100 when maintenance is required). Drainage is to a private septic tank on-site (SEPA-registered). Parking is off-street for two cars in an easily kept garden; the house sits in a remote, rural community approximately 10 miles from Brodick ferry services.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial island residence or a high-quality holiday home who value coastal outlooks, privacy and modern comforts. Note the higher-than-average council tax (Band E) and the rural location — daily mainland commutes will be logistically heavier than for mainland properties.
