Description

Discover a hidden gem in the heart of Carnwath with this impressive five-bedroom mid-terrace townhouse. This property combines period charm with modern eco-efficiency, offering a unique split-level layout across three floors. As you enter, a welcoming vestibule leads into a grand entrance hall, showcasing high ceilings and original woodwork that set a tone of elegance. The first floor features a beautifully appointed kitchen and dining area, ideal for family gatherings, alongside two light-filled reception rooms, one with a traditional fireplace and the other with a modern stove. A contemporary family bathroom and a versatile double bedroom complete this level. The upper floor houses four additional bedrooms, all well-proportioned and filled with natural light. The main bedroom offers impressive dimensions and open views, while the sleek shower room caters to busy family life. Outside, enjoy a private driveway, garage, and an expansive garden that presents potential for future development, subject to planning. Additionally, a substantial stone outbuilding with approved planning permission for a two-bedroom home enhances the property's appeal for multi-generational living or as a studio. With the recent closure of local hospitality options, this property also presents an exceptional business opportunity, featuring seven potential letting rooms for Airbnb or holiday letting. Located in the sought-after village of Carnwath, this home offers a perfect blend of rural charm and connectivity to Glasgow and Edinburgh. This is more than just a property; it’s an opportunity waiting to be explored.

Confidence: LOW

This impressive five-bedroom mid-terrace townhouse combines period charm with modern upgrades, making it a fascinating opportunity for those looking to acquire a spacious and character-filled home. With an asking price of £300,000, you’ll find it notably cheap at £135/sqf compared to the local average of £165/sqf, presenting an excellent chance to secure a property well below market value.

The generous layout spreads across three levels, featuring bright reception rooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and ample bedrooms that offer flexibility for various living arrangements. The standout feature is the expansive garden, significantly larger than typical plots, which not only enhances outdoor living but also holds potential for future development, subject to planning permissions. Despite some limitations in renovation economics, the overall condition of the house is strong, providing a solid foundation for your vision and enhancements.
