Features and description
Chain Free & Ready for Immediate Occupation!
Offering a wealth of accommodation and limitless potential, Invermay is an exceptionally large and highly sought-after detached villa that covers an impressive 4,321 square feet across three floors. The c-listed Edwardian building, built in 1905, is of significant architectural importance too, designed in the early Art-Deco style, with stunning architecture and original features. Currently used as a private home, it was previously run as a successful guest house by the current owners for seven years. Many years ago it was also a hotel, so the property is highly versatile, offering buyers a wide variety of uses and the chance to develop a lucrative income from it. Subject to any appropriate permissions, it could easily be reverted into a hotel or guest house and the top floor (once used as the owner's accommodation) could also become an independent flat or further accommodation. Adding to the appeal of this outstanding Edwardian property is its location, set directly on the coast of Whiting Bay with spectacular beach and sea views.
Stepping into Invermay, you are greeted by a grand reception hall with well-retained period features and walk-in storage. The accommodation from here is all well connected, including the five reception rooms, which are comprised of: A living room with a log-burning stove; a dual-aspect lounge with traditional styling, a bay window, and a period feature fireplace; a dual-aspect formal dining room with a bay window and a beautiful feature fireplace; a sunroom with rear garden access; and, a private snug for relaxation. In addition, a dining kitchen comes well-appointed with cabinet storage and wood-toned worksurfaces. It has floorspace for a table and chairs, and an open-plan with a large scullery (equipped with storage). Also on this floor, there are two WCs, a laundry room/store, and an office/bar fitted with a counter and cubby storage.
On the first floor, a landing (with storage) extends to five double bedrooms (One has an interconnecting single bedroom) that are all equipped with en-suite shower rooms. There is a useful study enjoying views over the beach. A bright three-piece bathroom, with a shower over bath, completes this level.
The second/top floor features an open-plan sitting room that connects to five additional rooms, a three-piece bathroom, and a three-piece shower room, providing further flexibility and potential to the property and offers a variety of living options. It has oil-fired central heating and a mix of single and double-glazed windows.
Externally, there is a low-maintenance front garden, framed by beautiful palms, which has a patio overlooking the beach – perfect for watching the tranquil sea and local wildlife. In addition, a large rear garden also has a patio area for summer dining and a generous lawn backed by mature trees. A gated driveway provides secure off-street parking for multiple cars.
Area
Whiting Bay
Whiting Bay is located on the south east corner of the island and overlooks the Firth
of Clyde, with views to the very southern point of Scotland. The village provides a
newsagent, post office, pharmacy, two general food stores, cafe/bar, restaurant, bistro, hardware store and a farm shop. There is a craft outlet and art gallery, as well
as a picturesque 18-hole golf course. Primary schooling is available in the village and
secondary schooling is found at the High School in Lamlash. The surrounding area
provides some of Arran's most scenic walks, not only along the shoreline, but also
through the forest to Glenashdale Falls.
The Isle of Arran, approximately 167 square miles in area, is sometimes referred to
as 'Scotland in miniature', as it is divided into highland and lowland areas by the
Highland Boundary Fault. The island is a popular destination for geologists, due to
the substantial volcanic activity around 16 million years ago in the Tertiary period.
There are many stone circles and standing stones dating from Neolithic times, including those on Machrie Moor and the Giants Graves above Whiting Bay. Arran
is approximately 60 miles in circumference and has some of the finest scenery in
Scotland, with excellent walking, rambling and sea and trout fishing. Tourist attractions
include Arran Aromatics, Arran Heritage Museum, Lochranza Distillery and Brodick
Castle. There are seven golf courses on the island with Invermay ideally positioned
for easy access to Whiting Bay Golf Club.
