Ad Astra - Isle of Arran
Ad Astra – Elevated Island Living in the Heart of Whiting Bay
Living Accommodation
From the moment you step into Ad Astra, you are greeted by space, light, and breathtaking views that define this exceptional architect-designed A-frame home. Every room has been thoughtfully created to blend modern comfort with natural beauty, making the most of its elevated position above Whiting Bay and the sweeping panoramas across the sea to the mainland.
The spacious hallway sets the tone – calm, elegant, and filled with natural light that flows throughout the house.
At the heart of the home lies a large bespoke family kitchen, a true cook’s delight. Designed for both practicality and pleasure, it features a full-height fridge freezer, wine fridge, Nespresso machine, split-level oven, dishwasher drawers, washing machine, and tumble dryer. Every culinary need has been anticipated, with an extensive selection of utensils and high-quality equipment.
The open-plan kitchen, dining area, and snug form a warm, welcoming space — all oriented towards the staggering sea views beyond. Vast panoramic sliding doors open out to a raised deck, where you can savour your morning coffee or evening drink while watching the ever-changing light over the bay. Inside, a wood-burning stove adds extra comfort for cosy nights in, with the sea always in sight.
The large sitting room is a peaceful retreat, designed for relaxation with generous, comfortable seating, a second wood-burning stove, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing uninterrupted coastal vistas.














Bedroom Accommodation
Off the sitting room lies a beautiful family suite, featuring a spacious double bedroom with a study area and sofa, and a charming twin room — both reflecting the home’s seaside character through soft tones and natural textures. They share a contemporary bathroom with a bath and separate shower, offering both style and practicality.
Also on the ground floor is a fully accessible double bedroom, designed with inclusivity and comfort in mind. Both beds are electrically adjustable, and the en-suite wet room offers grab rails and a no-step shower. Large sliding doors open directly to a private deck overlooking the peaceful rear courtyard garden, a sheltered spot to enjoy the late afternoon sun.
From the formal sitting room, a sculptural staircase, its curves inspired by a seashell, rises past bespoke bookcases to the upper landing. Here, the master suite awaits — a tranquil sanctuary with cabriolet balcony doors opening to spectacular elevated views of Holy Isle and the sea. The en-suite bathroom is a haven of luxury, featuring a freestanding bath and a generous walk-in shower.























The Grounds
The beautifully landscaped grounds at Ad Astra are a true highlight, wrapping seamlessly around the holiday home and offering a variety of peaceful spots to enjoy the stunning surroundings. The front courtyard garden, designed to evoke the charm of a traditional harbour, is a perfect place to unwind. As the evening sun sets, this tranquil spot becomes the ideal place to relax with a glass of wine.
At the rear of the property, a raised deck extends from the living accommodation, providing breathtaking, panoramic views of the sea. This elevated space offers a serene vantage point to watch the ebb and flow of the tides, while the varied landscape of the gardens gives you countless other opportunities to pause and appreciate the natural beauty around you.
The grounds at Ad Astra are not just a backdrop—they are a real feature of the property, designed to enhance the sense of space and connection with the stunning coastal environment. Whether you're seeking a quiet corner to read or a place to gather with loved ones, the gardens offer something for everyone, all with the beauty of Whiting Bay at your feet.
