Property description
Thornlea is situated in one of the primary residential locations within Lamlash that features some of the most individual, eye-catching properties in Arran. Thornlea is a striking three bedroom, detached villa, constructed around 1902, with the added benefit of a very spacious garage/workshop with attached potting shed. This fantastic family/holiday home still offers huge scope to further extend (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents). Displaying a stunning frontage, the house offers some beautiful design features from a bygone era and offers flexible and versatile accommodation formed over a two storey layout. In essence, the front of the property belies the spacious accommodation internally. Although the house is very much a traditional home, it has a contemporary, modern feel. On entering the home through the reception hallway, it is immediately apparent that the current owner has meticulously looked after and improved this family home for the nineteen years of their ownership, which is fit for todayâs modern living. Room usage throughout can be adapted to meet individual purchasersâ needs and will comfortably provide for a larger family.
The property sits within a mature garden, which is fully enclosed and provides a private and safe environment for children in their very own adventure playground. The patio has been designed with entertaining in mind and has been used for this purpose on many occasions. The front garden has been beautifully designed and is well stocked. Access to the large garage/workshop, is from the shared driveway to the side aspect. The garage could easily be adapted and used as a self contained annexe for an elderly relative or a teenager, holiday accommodation or as a workshop/hobby room (STPP).
A gravelled footpath leads to the front door, which opens into a reception hallway with a storage cupboard. A useful shower room is located off the hallway and this area also houses the washing machine. The immediately impressive lounge, has a feature bay window which floods the room with natural light and provides tremendous views of the surrounding area. A feature fireplace is the other key focal point of this room. The separate dining room has ample space for a table and chairs for more formal dining with friends and family and has the benefit of a log burning stove. A partly glazed door opens from here into the conservatory, which is a great room to just relax and chill, and offers superb views of the surrounding countryside. A French door opens from here onto the patio in the rear garden, which is a stunning spot to spend a summerâs evening entertaining. The bright and airy kitchen/breakfast room has been well fitted to include a good range of floor and wall mounted units, with a striking work surface, which provides a fashionable and efficient workspace and extends into an ingenious breakfast bar. It further benefits from an integrated double oven, hob, extractor and dishwasher, making the kitchen an inviting refuge at any time of the year. It also offers interesting views over the gardens and the countryside.
The staircase leads to first floor level, revealing three, good sized bedrooms and a fantastic family bathroom. The master bedroom is the last word in luxury with a picture window offering tremendous views of the Holy Isle and a feature fireplace. The second bedroom has similar views to the master and also has storage facilities and a feature fireplace.
The bathroom, with a cast iron bath, creates the perfect ambience in which to unwind. Access to the boarded loft space is gained from the landing.
The high specifications of this family home also include double glazing and electric heating.
