Town & Country Property Auctions present this impressive ground-floor, three-bedroom apartment, set within a former Victorian hotel dating back to 1870, occupying a commanding position directly beside Ardrossan Harbour.
Steeped in local history, the building originally operated as a hotel in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was once a performance venue for the renowned Scottish singer Lulu, before being sensitively converted into residential apartments. Many of its original period features remain, including high ceilings, expansive room proportions, and striking architectural detail, all contributing to its strong presence and curb appeal.
Extending to approximately 1,800 sq ft, the apartment enjoys beautiful sea views and immediate access to the harbour, creating a setting that is both visually impressive and lifestyle-led. The location naturally draws attention, making the property equally well suited as a luxury coastal home, retirement residence, or high-quality holiday base.
From an income perspective, the property also offers attractive potential. Based on projected figures of a £109 Average Daily Rate at 75% occupancy, estimated annual income could reach circa £22,000 per annum, blending lifestyle appeal with solid performance (subject to relevant consents).
Positioned in the heart of Ardrossan, the property sits moments from ferry links to the Isle of Arran, coastal walks, cafés, and transport connections, reinforcing its appeal as a destination-led seafront home with genuine character and history.
