Hall Road, Nemplar, Lanark, ML11

Nestled in a peaceful setting with breathtaking views across the Clyde Valley, this remarkable detached period home seamlessly blends centuries of history with modern family living. Tucked away from the main road and surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, the property offers over 2,340 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation, centred around a remarkable Bastle House dating back to at least 1607. Steeped in history and rich in original features, this is a home unlike any other.

Upon entering, a welcoming reception hallway provides access to the principal living accommodation. The elegant family room enjoys a beautiful focal point fireplace and flows effortlessly into a versatile adjoining room, ideal as an optional fifth bedroom, home office or snug. A separate doorway leads through to the kitchen, which is complemented by a practical utility room and a family bathroom, creating a highly functional layout for everyday living.

Also accessed from the hallway is a generous dual-aspect dining room, flooded with natural light and perfectly suited to entertaining family and friends.

The true centrepiece of the home, however, lies just a few steps below.

The original Bastle House is undoubtedly the heart of the home, offering a fascinating glimpse into Scotland's past. This fortified farmhouse is believed to date back to at least 1607, with the original marriage lintel still retained within the grounds today. The spectacular vaulted living room is rich in history and beautifully preserved, featuring exposed stonework, deep-set arrow slit windows once used for defence, the original stone water trough where valuable livestock were once watered, and the original iron hooks used to secure the animals. The vaulted ground floor would have provided shelter for livestock, while the family lived safely above, accessed by what was once a stone staircase.  A wood-burning stove now creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere, while French doors frame breathtaking countryside views and open directly onto the beautifully maintained rear gardens.

Complementing the original Bastle House is a thoughtfully designed extension dating back to the 1800s, which retains charming period details including the original internal window shutters, seamlessly blending centuries of history with modern family living.

The upper floors continue to impress.

The principal bedroom is a wonderfully bright and spacious retreat, flooded with natural light from skylight windows and an additional window on the opposite elevation. Also on this level are a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower enclosure, a generous storage cupboard, and an additional bedroom. Continuing upwards, the converted attic provides two further bedrooms alongside a contemporary shower room, recently upgraded with elegant brass fittings and stylish tiling.

Externally, the property enjoys an enviable position surrounded by mature gardens that provide privacy, colour and uninterrupted views across the rolling countryside. A generous, decked terrace offers the perfect setting for outdoor dining, summer barbecues or simply relaxing while taking in the stunning surroundings. To the front, a substantial driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles.
