Highchair. Enclosed garden with barbecue. Bike store. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Situated on a working sheep hill farm, high above the Kintyre coastline, Ballygroggan Bungalow is at the end of a long and winding road up into the back of beyond countryside, next to Machrihanish beaches and golf course.

This lovely, detached property offers uninterrupted views out across the Sound of Kintyre towards the islands of Islay, Jura and Gigha, and on exceptionally clear days, the coastline of Northern Ireland is also visible, 14 miles away. The Kintyre Way Walk passes through the back of the farmyard onto the higher hill with Cnoc Moy dominating the skyline. As well as birdwatching, the dynamic changing views of the sea and skies offer a haven of peace and tranquillity where you can enjoy a slower pace of life.

Renovated with loving care by the owners, the stunning open-plan living space with wood burner has views over the gardens and to coastline beyond. There are two cosy welcoming bedrooms, both served by a family shower room.

In Machrihanish, the beaches have soft white sand with an abundance of shells, as well as a children’s play park and a pub, which is open for food and drink all day. The pub is now seasonal so closed November through to March.

Machrihanish has a world-renowned golf course and within a 20-mile radius of this area are five top quality courses. Ballygroggan is located close to the peaceful little coastal town of Campbeltown. Enjoying a better than average climate due to the warming Gulf Stream, as the palm trees on the sea front demonstrate, it is an ideal base for exploring the many attractions of the southern Kintyre Peninsula and the Southern Hebrides.

Surrounded by green hills and built around a scenic harbour, filled with yachts and soaring seagulls, Campbeltown is a bustling wee town with a great selection of restaurants, pubs, cafés, museums and playgrounds. Davaar Island in the bay can be visited to discover the world-famous cave painting. It also has several fine period buildings, including the oldest purpose-built retro cinema. Campbeltown is home to three whisky distilleries, Springbank, Glen Scotia and Kilkerran, which produce world renowned malt whiskies and offer distillery tours.

With ferries to Arran, Gigha, Islay, Jura and the Cowal Peninsula all within a short drive, there is plenty to explore. Outdoor enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice with great opportunities for wind and kite surfing, sea angling, scuba diving, cycling and horseriding, all available locally. There is abundant wildlife to see whilst out exploring including golden eagles, otters and seals. Some ferries, local pubs, restaurants and tourist attractions have winter timetables.
