Architect‑designed waterfront home with private pier and an income‑producing bothy cottage.
Private historic pier and owned beach frontage
Set directly on the Kyles of Bute, The Pier House occupies a rare waterside plot with its own historic pier, private beach frontage and expansive wraparound deck. The architect-designed main house makes the most of the outlook with full-height glazing, a double‑height living space and versatile first-floor gallery. Included plans to extend offer practical scope to increase living space or enhance rental income potential.
Also included is a detached bothy cottage that has operated as a successful short‑term holiday let since 2008, providing an existing income stream and booking history. The cottage is Scottish Government accredited and sits on its own decked area adjacent to the beach, making the whole site attractive for holiday guests and visitors to the sailing hub of Tighnabruaich.
Buyers should note some material facts: the property’s EPC rating is D and heating is via an LPG boiler. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which can affect local services and resale comparatives. The main house layout is multi‑storey with limited bathroom provision relative to three bedrooms.
This is a distinct opportunity for someone seeking a lifestyle waterside home with immediate holiday‑let income, or an investor looking to grow returns using the included extension plans. Its combination of private waterfront, proven lettings performance and architect-led design makes it a standout coastal holding, provided buyers accept the maintenance, energy and connectivity limits stated.
