Nestled on the tranquil Newton Shore in Lochranza, this historic property dates back to 1750, originally crafted as a hunting lodge. Over the years, it has evolved with the addition of a Victorian wing featuring a bay window that frames sweeping views of the sea and surrounding landscapes, including the iconic "Sleeping Warrior." This residence served as a single household until 1960, maintaining a unique layout that allowed for both communal living and potential independence.
Currently divided into two distinct homes—No 1 and No 2 The Lodge—this property offers versatile living arrangements with opportunities for renovation or investment. No 1 comprises an entrance hall leading to an elegant lounge/dining area, kitchen, bathroom, and two generous king-sized bedrooms. Meanwhile, No 2 features its own entrance, a spacious kitchen, office space, and comfortable lounge on the ground floor. The upper levels house two additional king-sized bedrooms along with room for two more in the attic. For those looking to create one cohesive dwelling once again, restoring the original corridor between the two homes could easily reunite them.
The grounds of The Lodge encompass approximately one-third of an acre and include several outbuildings that have fallen into disrepair but were once utilized as staff quarters, dairy facilities, and stables. With careful investment and vision, these structures offer significant potential for redevelopment into additional living space or amenities.
Located in one of Lochranza’s most sought-after areas near historical landmarks such as Lochranza Castle and local attractions like the distillery and golf course restaurant, this property is well-positioned within an active community. The village provides essential services alongside recreational opportunities such as sailing and hiking amidst Arran's stunning natural beauty.
As a category 'C' listed building by Historic Scotland—a designation that highlights its architectural significance—there are many avenues for creative restoration while preserving its character. Whether you are looking to establish a grand family home or seeking an investment opportunity in a vibrant village setting with ample charm and prospects for enhancement, this property presents a compelling option.
