About this property

  • Cragganmore is a delightful holiday lodge, constructed in the 1980s as part of a larger Carrick Shore development. It is of wooden clad and pitched tile construction and benefits from UPVC double glazing throughout. The current owners purchased the lodge in 2014 and carried out significant refurbishment works to the property, including a new kitchen, bathroom suite, re-plumbing and re-wiring, additional central heating, new flooring, and the addition of a wood-burning stove.

    Furthermore, in 2022 the external walls were insulated and re-clad with larch and composite decking was built behind an attractive glass balustrade.

    The accommodation is over one floor as shown on the accompanying floor plans. The front door leads into the L-shaped entrance hall, which provides access to all accommodation. A glass door leads into the sitting, dining, and kitchen area (kitchen refitted in 2022) with an external door to the rear of the property as well as dual-aspect windows and French windows leading onto the decking area with views of the sea. The kitchen benefits from a gas hob and integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, bins, and washing machine, with a large breakfast bar providing additional dining space.

    A particular focal point of this space is the wood-burning stove. The three double bedrooms all benefit from built-in wardrobes and views either of the sea or the garden area. There is a family bathroom with a toilet, wash hand basin, and large bath with shower over. There is a separate toilet adjacent and a large cupboard off the hall.

    Externally, the cottage benefits from a decked area to the front with steps down into the lawned garden area and gated gravel driveway. There is additional space to the side of the cottage with more parking spaces and a grassed area.

    Carrick Shore is an unspoilt beauty spot boasting a sandy beach within the Fleet Valley National Scenic Area, with views offshore to the Islands of Fleet. Visitors can enjoy an abundance of activities including walking, wild swimming, sailing, windsurfing and canoeing in the bay.

    Short Term Lettings Licence - Cragganmore is presently let out for short term holiday lettings and benefits from Licence number DG00998F (which allows a maximum occupancy of 7 people). The average income from holiday lettings is around £25,000 per annum with many repeat visitors

This is truly a rare opportunity to secure a beautiful holiday home on one of the most unspoilt coastlines in southwest Scotland, with a ready made holiday lettings business which could be continued if desired. Many of the properties at Carrick remain within long term family ownership and rarely come to market in this condition.
