Nestled within a spacious plot in the sought-after residential area of Carluke, this delightful detached cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Offering two bedrooms and two versatile public rooms, the property showcases a charming sandstone front alongside brick construction that retains much of its original character. With an EPC rating of D, there is ample potential for modernisation that can significantly enhance its value.
The accommodation begins with an inviting entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming reception hallway. This hallway connects to the living room, both bedrooms, the bathroom, and provides access to valuable storage cupboards. The front-facing living room features an appealing bay window and boasts period details such as decorative plaster ceilings, coving, and a fireplace. A newly fitted carpet adds comfort to this attractive space.
At the rear, a galley-style kitchen includes functional wall and base units along with a walk-in larder; however, it offers wonderful potential for upgrading to meet contemporary standards. Adjacently is the rear-facing dining room that can serve multiple purposes – from family gatherings to home office workspaces or even an additional bedroom – all while retaining decorative coving and original alcove recesses.
Bedroom One is spacious with a walk-in cupboard that leads up to a floored attic via a permanent staircase; this attic not only serves as excellent storage but may also present possibilities for conversion into further living space in the future. Bedroom Two mirrors this charm with its own period features.
The family bathroom contains essential amenities including a bath and vanity unit but similarly presents opportunities for improvement. The extensive rear garden is ripe for development; it could accommodate an extension subject to planning consents, while also providing an ideal setting for outdoor living with its lawned areas, patio spaces, established shrubs, and even a productive polytunnel.
The property also benefits from double glazing throughout and gas central heating. Externally, decorative stone chips adorn the front garden which features mature shrubs set behind hedging along with vehicular access through wrought iron gates. A large driveway offers parking for several vehicles alongside a detached double garage.
Carluke boasts numerous local amenities such as shops, cafés, healthcare services, and recreational facilities along with commendable schools nearby. Excellent transport links including frequent rail services to Glasgow and Edinburgh make this location attractive for commuters.
