A Charming Renovated Cottage with Expansive Gardens & Breathtaking Views – Historic Leadhills

Nestled in the heart of the historic village of Leadhills, this stunning two-bedroom cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a home that perfectly blends modern comfort with timeless character. Recently renovated to an exceptional standard, the property retains all the warmth and charm of a traditional cottage while providing elegant, walk-in condition living.

On entering, you are welcomed into a beautifully presented living room, complete with exposed wooden beams and a feature log-burning stove – a truly inviting country retreat. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, thoughtfully designed by the current owners to harmonise modern convenience with its village setting. With a second wood-burning stove, pantry/utility space, and a charming stable door leading out to the garden, this space is both practical and full of character.

The ground floor also hosts a well-proportioned double bedroom, ideal for guests. Upstairs, the delightful main bedroom boasts turret-style windows, flooding the room with natural light and charm, alongside a stylish family bathroom.

The true jewel of this property is its expansive private garden. From the decked dining terrace, the grounds unfold into a colourful haven of flowers and planting, complemented by a charming summer house. A secluded seating area at the top of the garden offers magnificent views across the Lowther Hills, creating the perfect setting to soak in the semi-rural tranquillity. Additional land, included in the sale, provides even more scope for outdoor pursuits. The agent can show the area during viewings.

Features include a large floored attic that could be further developed with the appropriate planning. The traditional slate roof, was also replaced in 2023. This is more than a home – it’s a lifestyle. A rare chance to live within a welcoming community, surrounded by history, stunning landscapes, and the enduring charm of a classic cottage.

Leadhills is a small, historic village in South Lanarkshire, set within the picturesque Lowther Hills at one of the highest elevations in Scotland. Rich in heritage, the village is home to the Leadhills Miners’ Library (est. 1741), the oldest subscription library in the UK, reflecting its strong tradition of education and community spirit.

The village itself offers everyday conveniences including a local shop and a highly regarded primary school, both just a short stroll from the property. For wider amenities, neighbouring Wanlockhead lies just a mile away, while Abington – with further services – is around 7 miles to the east.

Despite its peaceful, rural charm, Leadhills benefits from excellent accessibility. The M74 motorway is close by, offering direct routes north to Glasgow and Edinburgh or south into England. Larger towns and cities, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dumfries, are all within an hour’s drive.

Leadhills is also celebrated for its natural beauty and outdoor pursuits, from scenic walks and cycling to its famous Leadhills & Wanlockhead Railway – the highest narrow-gauge railway in Britain.

This property is not just a home but a lifestyle – combining history, community, and spectacular surroundings with versatile modern living.
