Torbeg Farm Cottage is a newly renovated three-bedroom end-terrace cottage set amid the Shiskine Valley on the Isle of Arran. The refurbishment keeps traditional stone-and-slate character while introducing a modern kitchen, contemporary bathrooms and tasteful décor, creating a comfortable home or turn-key holiday let. The property is freehold, band D council tax, and offers garage parking plus an enclosed rear courtyard for privacy.
The house makes the most of its elevated position: an upstairs Velux in the master bedroom and a front decking area capture wide views across Shiskine Valley and towards Goat Fell. The living room has French doors to the courtyard and a wood burner set in a wooden fireplace, offering a cosy focal point through colder months. The kitchen/dining room is spaciously laid out with modern appliances and patio doors to the rear courtyard, useful for indoor–outdoor living.
This cottage currently operates successfully as a holiday let and has strong guest feedback (top 20% and a 4.75/5 average). That makes it attractive to small-scale investors wanting immediate income, or to a buyer seeking a low-maintenance rural primary/second home. Practical drawbacks are clear: broadband speeds are very slow, and the wider area is classified as very deprived and remoter, which may affect long-term resale or day-to-day convenience for full-time residents.
Overall, Torbeg Farm Cottage offers a rare combination of renovated comfort, strong holiday-let credentials and dramatic rural views. It will suit buyers who prioritise location, tranquillity and immediate rental potential, but those reliant on fast internet, frequent commuting or urban services should weigh the island’s remoteness and limited broadband carefully.
