Craigfield Cottage, Glassford, Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, ML10

A charming country bungalow set in around 11 acres of garden and grounds.

Description

Craigfield Cottage is a charming rural property set amidst approximately 11.5 acres of its own land on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Glassford. Enjoying an elevated setting within a ring-fenced block of pasture, the property benefits from a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion while taking full advantage of far-reaching views stretching across the surrounding countryside towards distant hills.

One of the property's defining attributes is the scale and versatility of the landholding. Extending to over 11 acres in a single, manageable block, the land presents a rare opportunity to create a small equestrian holding, hobby farm or lifestyle property. The acreage is well suited to grazing, pony paddocks, exercise areas, small-scale livestock keeping or a range of recreational and amenity uses, while equally providing an exceptional setting for those simply seeking space, privacy and a closer connection to the countryside.

Approached via a private driveway leading to a generous parking area and detached garage, the house sits within beautifully maintained lawned gardens enclosed by mature hedging and established planting. The setting is particularly appealing, combining the tranquillity of a rural location with excellent accessibility to Strathaven, East Kilbride, Hamilton and Glasgow.

The accommodation extends to approximately 1,551 sq ft and is arranged over a single level, offering a practical and well-balanced layout. An entrance vestibule with useful storage opens into a welcoming reception hall, where a large window draws in natural light and frames attractive views across the surrounding landscape. A broad central hallway providins access to both the living accommodation and bedroom wing.
The sitting room is a particularly impressive reception space extending to almost 20 feet in length. Large dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light and provide wonderful views across the gardens and neighbouring countryside, while a feature fireplace creates an attractive focal point. The generous proportions make the room ideal for both family living and entertaining.

A separate dining room enjoys similarly attractive rural views and offers an excellent formal entertaining space. The room is equally well suited to use as a family room, snug or home office, providing flexibility for modern lifestyles.

The dining kitchen forms the heart of the home and is fitted with an extensive range of traditional oak wall and base units, complemented by integrated double ovens, ample worktop space and room for informal dining. A large picture window above the sink enjoys delightful open views across the property's land and beyond. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with additional storage and laundry facilities, together with a separate shower room and secondary access to the property.


The bedroom accommodation is arranged within a dedicated wing and comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a spacious double room featuring extensive fitted mirrored wardrobes and attractive views over the surrounding countryside. The remaining bedrooms are all generous in size, several benefitting from fitted storage, and offer flexible accommodation for family members, guests or home working. The internal accommodation is completed by a family bathroom.

The gardens and grounds are a particular highlight of Craigfield Cottage. Immediately surrounding the house are beautifully maintained lawns bordered by mature hedging and ornamental planting, creating a private and sheltered setting. A detached garage and extensive parking area add to the property's practicality.

Beyond the gardens, the land extends to approximately 11 acres and is principally laid to pasture. Forming a ring-fenced holding around the property, the land creates a highly versatile rural asset that will appeal to a broad range of purchasers. Whether utilised for equestrian interests, the grazing of horses and ponies, small-scale livestock farming, hobby agriculture, conservation projects or simply as an attractive amenity holding, the acreage provides scope and flexibility seldom found with properties of this type. The configuration of the land also enhances the privacy of the house, ensuring an exceptional sense of ownership and control over the surrounding landscape.

Craigfield Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a comfortable country home with a substantial and highly versatile landholding in a highly accessible South Lanarkshire location.
