A late Victorian mansion on Arran which once traded as the Whiting Bay Hotel then Corriedoon Nursing Home has gone on the market for offers over £650,000.
The imposing building has been put up for sale by joint agents solicitors Watermans and chartered surveyors DM Hall.
And they say the incredible Whiting Bay property has "outstanding potential" to be converted to a hotel, holiday lets, a bed and breakfast/Airbnb, an aparthotel, a guest house, or even a wedding venue/event space, subject to planning permission.
The building is located far enough away from the road to enjoy a secluded setting and elevated to take full advantage of the views encompassing the beach, the Firth of Clyde, and the Holy Isle.
Corriedoon boasts a particularly spectacular outlook from the upper two floors.
The property’s accommodation is arranged over three floors and consists of 27 bedrooms, accessible by a lift or stairs, some with en-suite facilities.
In addition the property has a multitude of other rooms previously used as communal/staff spaces, including living rooms, two kitchens, lounge rooms, a dining room, staff rooms, offices, and various store rooms, a laundry, and WCs, with the public rooms and kitchens offering potential for conversion.
Cooriedoon is set in generous grounds, boasts a rooftop balcony, and extensive parking is available by way of a large, private driveway.
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, café/bar, restaurant, bistro, hardware store and a farm shop.
Anthony Zdanowicz, a commercial property associate based in the Ayr office of DM Hall, who, together with Watermans, is overseeing the sale, said: “Arran property is in huge demand and Cooriedoon’s configuration would also allow for conversion into apartments and two terraced houses.
“The opportunities are almost endless and the new owner will have creative scope to elevate this beautiful property and use it to its full potential."
He added: “Our clients are seeking offers over £650,000. Anyone interested in finding our more should contact me, Anthony.Zdanowicz@dmhall.co.uk or on 01292 268055.”
