Description

Greenhill is a substantial detached home with a separate two-bedroom cottage, set in approximately six acres of private grounds and woodland. The property is being offered to the market for the first time in 70 years and is reached through a private gated entrance on Newton Road, within walking distance of Strathaven Common Green and local amenities. The main house has a central entrance hall, a large lounge and formal dining room, with the dining room connecting to the kitchen. A further sitting room also opens to the kitchen. On the ground floor there is a bedroom with an en-suite shower room, while the upper floor provides three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. A lower-ground level is accessed beneath the main staircase. The separate cottage has a ground-floor lounge and dining kitchen, with two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. It currently requires full renovation, offering scope to create independent accommodation, subject to the necessary checks. The grounds include established gardens, open areas and mature woodland, giving the property a notably private setting close to the town.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Greenhill offers a substantial main house with spacious reception rooms, a separate two-bedroom cottage and around six acres of private grounds with mature trees and woodland. The main house appears usable, while its dated finishes offer scope to refresh the interiors; the cottage is the bigger canvas, with visible deterioration and a full renovation creating the opportunity to shape it for independent accommodation, subject to checking feasibility and requirements. The asking price is £163/sq ft, below the local average of £198, making the property cheaper to acquire on that measure. However, purchase plus the renovation midpoint looks tight against local benchmarks, so the project needs careful budgeting rather than relying on the lower entry price alone.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the main house’s dated décor and finishes while retaining its spacious reception rooms and versatile accommodation.
  • Rework the separate two-bedroom cottage as a potential independent living space, subject to verifying feasibility and requirements.
  • Make the most of the six-acre setting, with established gardens, open areas and mature woodland providing privacy and outdoor scope.

Key risks

  • The cottage’s visible wall and ceiling deterioration, alongside a £85,000–£155,000 works range, points to a substantial programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; budget and timing need careful planning.
  • Purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks, limiting the apparent headroom despite the below-local asking price per square foot.
