The farmhouse is situated on the outskirts of Symington, a rural village only a short distance from the bustling market town of Biggar, South Lanarkshire. Complete with a range of traditional stone buildings including a former threshing mill and milking parlour, this property offers a unique opportunity for development potential.

The Accommodation

The main entrance to the property is via a spacious and bright front porch which opens into the entrance hallway. The hallway provides access to the living room, dining room, office/study/bedroom and a stairwell which leads to the first floor. The living room features an original fireplace with tiled hearth, stunning cornice, high ceilings and large double glazed fronted window. Continuing down the hallway there is a room at the rear of the property at the bottom of the stairs, previously used as a ground floor bedroom this would also be suitable for other purposes.

The dining room is situated in the centre of the house and connects the kitchen and rear porch. Also featuring an original working fire, the dining room is perfect for enjoying dinner as a family. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, complete with a stainless steel drainer sink. At the end of the kitchen you will find a washhouse/utility room, with two deep Belfast sinks and plumbing and electricity for white goods. There is an external door leading to the rear yard.

Off the dining room there is an additional room downstairs which could be used as another bedroom or private study. There is a rear porch and downstairs wet room which was upgraded about 5 years ago. The wet room is complete with a wall-mounted electric shower, WC and pedestal sink.

The second floor comprises of three good sized bedrooms. The first and second bedroom occupy both ends of the hall, similar in size and both featuring original fireplaces, coombed ceilings and windows to the front. A split landing gives access to the bedroom at the rear. There is an open space between the landing and rear bedroom and we have been advised plumbing has been installed under the floorboards for creating a family bathroom upstairs.

Outside

Once part of a productive dairy farm, Symington Mill Farm now comprises of a mixture of traditional outbuildings which lend themselves to excellent development potential subject to the necessary planning consents. Whether you’re considering utilising the buildings for personal use or demolishing to create more usable land, the opportunities are endless. The property sits in around 1.26 acres of grounds, with garden to the front, rear and side. A horseshoe driveway provides access from two separate sections from the main road and would also a provide a separate access if the mill was to be developed into residential accommodation. There is a car port with slate roof attached to the side of the main house. To the side of the property there is a large hay shed with four stables and roadside access. Access can also be gained to the paddock with additional gated access at the rear of the house. A hay shed, former blacksmiths shop and henhouse completes the grounds.

All in all, the property is rich in key period features throughout and although it does require some modernisation, has excellent potential to be a unique family home, only 30 minutes from Edinburgh.
