Set on roughly one-third of an acre in Whiting Bay, The Sheans is a substantial 1937 bungalow with sweeping sea views and flexible multi-generational living. The accommodation includes five bedrooms in the main house plus a self-contained two‑bed annex with separate entrance — useful for extended family, holiday lets or rental income. Generous reception rooms, a sunroom and a partially floored attic present clear scope for reconfiguration or extension.
The plot and outbuildings (brick store and timber shed) are major assets: a long driveway with plenty of parking, terraced front beds and private garden space provide room for children, boats, parking or garden projects. The southerly aspect of the sunroom and elevated position amplify the coastal outlook across the Firth of Clyde.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks honestly. The property is dated in places and will require updating to modern standards—there is development potential but likely refurbishment costs. Heating is by an external oil boiler supplemented by open fires. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. The council tax band is high, and the wider area is classified as a remoter, very deprived community which may affect services and resale dynamics.
This home suits a large family seeking space and coastal living, or an investor/householder prepared to carry out improvement works to realise development potential. The fixed asking price reflects a discount to the home report and may appeal to buyers ready to renovate and add value.
