Springfield Farm, Carluke

Springfield Farm enjoys an elevated yet secluded position with wonderful views over the Clyde Valley and beyond to Tinto Hill, which is the largest and most prominent landmark in the upper reaches of the Clyde Valley.

The Clyde Valley is a highly picturesque area with many fine homes and farms. The district is known as the Garden of Scotland and offers excellent fishing, walking and safe riding in the countryside. Springfield Reservoir, just to the east of the property, is a stocked 32 acre fishery. Carluke is the nearest golf course and there are three further courses around Lanark.

Carluke and Lanark offer a wide range of amenities including primary and secondary schooling and are favoured by commuters travelling to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. There are rail services to both Glasgow and Edinburgh from Carluke. Private schooling is available at Hamilton College (15 miles) or the many Glasgow and Edinburgh private schools.

New Lanark, internationally recognised as a world heritage site, comprises a beautifully restored 18th century mill close to the Falls of Clyde and is still a working community attracting visitors from all points of the compass.

Springfield Farm is an outstanding traditionally built farmhouse. The Farmhouse is linked to the former steading to the rear which has been converted into four separate properties around a communal courtyard. The Farmhouse which is the original Factors House of the Estate has its own private and uninterrupted grounds and views to the South, East and West of the property and sits in its own fenced garden grounds mainly of lawn of approx half an acre. To the south of the house and immediately adjoin the garden area is a stable block with three loose boxes , hay shed and tack room overlooking a two acre paddock with a professionally constructed and fully enclosed Exercise Arena.

Off this hallway are the magnificent open plan kitchen and family room, a shower room, a double bedroom and the sitting room. Beyond the sitting room, which is in the original part of the house, is the front hallway with stairs to the first floor and a door to the master bedroom suite.

The centre island incorporates a prep sink set in the granite worktop, and a breakfast bar with solid oak surface and wine racking. A handmade fully fitted larder unit provides excellent storage. Both the sitting and dining areas have been fitted with high specification over sized picture window sliding doors to a paved feature terrace area and lawn. Oak flooring throughout unites the three areas and the two sets of internal glazed doors and three windows flood the room with light. To the rear of the kitchen is a fitted utility room including double Belfast sink with a connecting door to the shower room, which is by Porcelanosa and has a rain shower and under floor heating to the tiled floor.
