Description
This is an exceptional, rarely available small holding enjoying a semi-rural setting within the village of Gilmourton on the outskirts of Strathaven. Built circa 1897 and set amidst idyllic countryside, surrounded by open fields and enjoying far-reaching views, the property has been sympathetically extended and refurbished to provide generously proportioned living areas and a wonderful sense of space and warmth.
The property is approached via a single-track country road and a gated driveway leads to a large parking area. Internally, the property is beautifully appointed and retains many of the original features. It has been cleverly designed to maximise the light and has a real bright and airy ambience.
