Within the walls of a delightful, traditional sandstone villa in rural Lanarkshire are stories of owners past. Now, you could be the owner of the present – as this impressive conversion with extensive grounds is on the market for offers over an affordable £210,000.
The story goes that the traditional property in the picturesque village of Lesmahagow was built by the owner of a coal mine, who occupied the entire house until a rift in the family led to it being split into lower and upper conversions.
The upper apartment is now a stunning family home, which would be ideally suited to those wishing to enjoy a quiet and peaceful location and breath-taking rural views, while remaining within easy reach of many amenities and transport links.
Approached via a substantial sandstone stairway, enter the property through a glass-panelled main door, protected by secure storm doors which open on to a tiled entrance vestibule.
Inside, the hall is formed over two levels, with the kitchen and bathroom off the lower hall, and all other rooms accessed via the upper area of the split-level grand hallway.
This spacious hall is resplendent with high ceilings and a corniced archway, and it is lit by a stunning stained-glass window and traditional-style light fittings.
The grand dimensions of this flexible space allow for both an office area and reception space.
The kitchen includes a selection of wall-mounted and floor-standing wood-coloured storage units, accented by dark coloured worktops complemented by light floor tiles.
It benefits from an integrated gas hob, electric oven, as well as under-counter appliances.
The room enjoys a delightful view over the beautifully maintained gardens to the rear.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the large, fully-tiled family bathroom, which includes a white three-piece suite, a vanity unit under the wash-hand basin, a triple-mirrored cabinet above the W.C.
The bathroom also benefits from an over-the-bath power shower, a glass shower screen and heated silver towel rail.
Rising to the upper level, there are three incredibly spacious double bedrooms, and two large sized public rooms.
To the front of the building is the expansive formal lounge, with a wonderful ornate ceiling. It is beautifully lit by the stunning bay window overlooking Broompark Drive and the hills surrounding Lesmahagow.
This is a wonderful space for relaxing or entertaining, with its neutral décor, perfectly accented by the traditional panelling on the ceiling, as well as a feature wooden fireplace, and matching decorative cupboards.
The room is elegantly styled, with many items of furniture, some of which are available for sale at an additional cost.
The master bedroom is also positioned to the front of the building and enjoys the same impressive views over the village.
Also to the front of the home is a further double bedroom, currently used as a snug and with the same high ceilings and neutral tones.
The third bedroom is another generous space with many attractive features, including a large ornamental fireplace.
This pretty, yet practical room is lit by a stunning wood-panelled window, framing gorgeous views over the peaceful rear garden.
Rounding off the extensive accommodation on this level is a dining/breakfasting room.
With an eye-catching waterfall centrepiece light fitting and ornate white fireplace, this room has been cleverly adapted by the current owner.
The grounds are accessed through private wrought-iron gates.
There’s also a large, private driveway leading to a wooden garage, with lighting and electricity.
To the side of the garden is a quaint lattice arbour seat, which will remain at the property, so that the future owners can enjoy watching the sun go down.
There are several sun-terraces, an area laid to lawn, as well as a mixture of stone-chipped and paved areas, with many mature plants and shrubs, ornamental ponds, a greenhouse and a shed.
Jane Buchan at Keller Williams is seeking offers over £210,000.
