Charming Two-Bedroom Cottage with Smallholding & Extensive Grounds in the Heart of Wanlockhead

Nestled within the picturesque village of Wanlockhead, this beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled home with extensive grounds, private parking, and its very own licensed smallholding. Combining traditional cottage charm with modern comforts, No. 1 Fraser Terrace presents an idyllic rural lifestyle surrounded by breathtaking countryside views.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into the inviting family living room. This cosy and characterful space is centred around a stunning wood-burning stove, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere throughout the year. A large front-facing window floods the room with natural light while perfectly framing the delightful views across the village and the rolling hills beyond.

Moving through to the kitchen, you will find a beautifully crafted country-style space that perfectly complements the cottage's character. Featuring solid wood worktops, a traditional Belfast sink, and ample cabinetry for storage, this room offers both practicality and timeless appeal.

To the rear of the property, a hallway leads to the family bathroom, complete with a well-appointed three-piece suite and additional storage cupboard. The rear hallway also provides direct access to the gardens, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

Located on the ground floor, Bedroom One is a generously sized double room enjoying lovely views across the front gardens and surrounding countryside.

Upstairs, the impressive primary bedroom offers a peaceful and private retreat. This spacious room benefits from a dedicated dressing area and is flooded with natural light through three Velux windows. A convenient en-suite shower room completes this wonderful principal suite.

Outdoor Space & Smallholding Opportunity

Stepping outside is where this truly unique property comes into its own. No. 1 Fraser Terrace currently holds its own CPH Smallholding Licence, offering a rare opportunity for those dreaming of keeping livestock. Whether your aspirations include hens, ducks, goats, or other small animals (subject to any necessary approvals), this property provides the perfect foundation for a rural lifestyle.

Immediately outside the rear porch is a private enclosed garden, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the afternoon sunshine. A useful outbuilding, formerly serving as the coal bunker, provides additional storage.

Beyond this lies the true showpiece of the property – an extensive garden and smallholding area that is rarely found within a village setting. The large lawned area offers a fantastic space for families, children, pets, or simply enjoying the outdoors, all surrounded by mature trees and spectacular countryside views.

The grounds are thoughtfully arranged into three distinct areas:

Area One – A substantial lawned section providing an exceptional recreational space and a truly unique feature for a village property.

Area Two – A dedicated smallholding section currently set up with hen houses and associated facilities.

Area Three – A larger open area offering ample room for ducks, poultry, and other small livestock to roam.

For buyers who may not wish to continue the smallholding, these versatile grounds offer endless possibilities for landscaping, gardening, outdoor entertaining, or creating your own private countryside haven.

To the side of the cottage, there is convenient access from front to rear along with two substantial storage sheds.

The front of the property is equally impressive, providing extensive off-road parking. There is ample space for multiple vehicles, including motorhomes, caravans, and up to four or five additional cars.

The final image within the marketing particulars illustrates the property's title plan, with the solid red line clearly identifying the boundary and all land included within the sale.

This is far more than simply a two-bedroom cottage. It is a beautifully finished home that allows a new owner to move straight in and immediately enjoy everything it has to offer. The licensed smallholding presents a rare and unique opportunity within the village, while those seeking extensive garden grounds will appreciate the flexibility to create their own outdoor paradise.

With its stunning rural setting, extensive land, generous parking, charming accommodation, and breathtaking views, No. 1 Fraser Terrace represents a truly special opportunity that must be viewed in person to fully appreciate the lifestyle on offer.

Ideally located just 9 miles from the M74 (Glasgow–Carlisle), the property offers excellent transport links while retaining its idyllic rural charm. Both Glasgow and Edinburgh can be reached in approximately one hour by car, making it an appealing choice for commuters and lifestyle buyers alike.

Together with the neighbouring village of Leadhills, Wanlockhead enjoys a welcoming and vibrant community atmosphere. Local amenities include a general store, hotel, two traditional pubs, mobile banking services, regular bus links, and a highly regarded primary school. Additional nursery and secondary schooling options are available nearby in Abington, Biggar, and Sanquhar.
