February 2007 - It's A Bute - New Property Overlooks Islands
Whether it’s a weekend bolthole, a summer retreat for yacht-owners or simply a new home with an incredible view, buyers have been rushing to snap up Consort Homes’ newest development – apartments and penthouses on the edge of the Firth of Clyde overlooking the Isles of Bute and Arran.
With the development’s first phase now sold out, and having now released the final phase for sale, just 15 plots remain at Chaseley, Skelmorlie on Scotland’s Ayrshire coast.
Prices range from £195,950 for the two-bed, first floor ‘Arran’ apartment, to £309,950 for the one-off, three-bed, fourth-floor, double-aspect ‘Gigha’ penthouse with large terraces.
Each of the development’s 33 two and three-bed contemporary coastal apartments comes with allocated parking and a balcony or terrace offering views of the Isle of Bute, just eight miles across the Firth, and Arran beyond.
This North Ayrshire village is an easy commute to Glasgow by road or rail, just 30 miles away, while yachting enthusiasts are just a few miles from Kip Marina, widely regarded as Scotland’s premier boating marina.
Residents are ideally located to access the many ferries which regularly
link the mainland and the surrounding islands, including the famous Waverley ferry, the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world.
Darren Stubbs, Chairman of leading homebuilder Consort Homes, said: “These contemporary apartments set new standards of design and quality for this part of the coastline. They combine spacious living areas and decked balconies to bring the benefits of modern living and the freedom of the sea together in what is a truly stunning setting.”
With Glasgow airport just 25 miles away, Consort’s newest development may well be attracting interest well beyond the Scottish border.
