Artillery Drive, Hamilton, South Lanarkshire

An exceptional and truly one-of-a-kind detached residence, this remarkable home delivers a bold architectural statement paired with an uncompromising level of specification and design. One of only four of its kind, the property offers an extraordinary blend of cutting-edge contemporary living and expansive rural lifestyle, set within an impressive private estate extending to approximately 20 acres.

The approach is nothing short of striking. A brick pillared entrance with composite electric gates, complete with integrated camera system and post box, opens onto a sweeping chipped driveway, leading to generous parking areas accommodating up to 15 vehicles, alongside a fast charge car point. The grounds themselves are beautifully diverse and thoughtfully landscaped, comprising a stunning 2-acre pond, a further duck pond, and a gentle stream spanned by a charming brick “Swilken” bridge. Additional features include a bespoke gated wheelie bin store, a substantial brick-built garden store/dog kennel, and a carefully cultivated bee and butterfly meadow which sits above the extensive underground level.

The architecture is designed to impress, combining anthracite zinc cladding, oak board and batten composite, and smooth white scratch render, all set above the original structure of handmade kiln-dried imperial clay brick. The dramatic cantilevered master suite, complete with an 8-metre balcony, creates a powerful visual centrepiece, while high-performance Schuco aluminium glazing, including bi-fold and sliding doors, ensures seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces. Beneath the cantilever sits a private six-seater hot tub, perfectly positioned to enjoy the surrounding landscape.

The mid floor forms the heart of the home, entered via a covered porch with Ring doorbell and a striking aluminium front door with fingerprint and code access. A welcoming entrance hall with generous storage leads to a beautifully appointed WC. The standout feature is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, centred beneath a stunning 5-metre high octagonal atrium with integrated LED lighting. This vast, multi-functional space incorporates dining, lounging and entertaining areas, including a bespoke leather six-seater booth with Corian table. The kitchen itself is comprehensively equipped with premium appliances, including a wine fridge, American fridge freezer with ice and water, double pantry, two dishwashers, full coffee machine, warming drawers, and a five-zone induction hob with integrated extractor. Corian worktops integrate waste and recycling solutions, while a concealed 40” television rises seamlessly from the surface. Bluetooth ceiling speakers and a 4kW wood burning stove complete the atmosphere, with large bi-fold doors opening to a Juliet balcony.

The main lounge is equally impressive, featuring a commanding 15kW ceiling-mounted wood burning stove, Bluetooth ceiling speakers, and a large powered Velux window with blackout blind. A full-width 8-metre tri-sliding door system opens onto a generous balcony with seamless glass balustrading, composite decking and a suspended three-seater swing seat, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor living experience.

The principal suite is a true retreat, complete with its own staircase leading to an expansive dressing room. The bedroom benefits from Bluetooth ceiling speakers, a freestanding 6kW stove, large picture glazing, bifold window overlooking the pond, and a powered Velux positioned above the bed. The en-suite is luxuriously appointed with a large walk-in shower featuring a heated seat, dual ceiling heads and provision for a steam generator, alongside a freestanding composite bath, double Corian sinks with LED mirrors, and a separate WC.

Further accommodation across the home is exceptionally well considered. Bedroom two includes a mezzanine level, dressing room and en-suite, offering flexibility for both storage and additional living space. The ground floor provides a vast open hall/sitting area with bi-fold doors to the garden, a feature wine cellar, and a cleverly designed under-stair dog area. Additional bedrooms include generous double rooms with en-suites and dressing areas, alongside a versatile fifth bedroom or gym with garden access, and a further flexible sixth bedroom or dressing suite. A dedicated dog room with sink, fridge and shower, along with a practical boot room with seating and rear access, enhances everyday practicality.

The lower ground floor extends the living space significantly, offering a superb games room complete with built-in bar, wine fridge, pool table with dining top, and ample storage. A large utility room, dry store, and extensive log store provide excellent functionality, while the impressive garage features oak LVT flooring and 4-metre bi-fold doors. A fully self-contained office or granny flat, complete with kitchen, shower room and sliding doors to the garden, offers ideal accommodation for guests or multi-generational living.

Throughout the home, the specification remains consistently high, including luxury oak-effect LVT flooring, brushed nickel fittings, oak slatted doors with gunmetal handles, LED lighting throughout, and advanced fingerprint or code access systems. Sustainability is also at the forefront, with 10kW of solar panels, 10kW battery storage, and dual 12kW air source heat pumps ensuring efficiency alongside comfort.

Set within a highly desirable pocket of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, the property enjoys the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. Surrounded by open countryside yet within easy reach of local amenities, highly regarded schooling, and excellent transport links, the location offers both tranquillity and convenience, making it ideal for modern family living.
