Fernbank Cottage, 7 West Row, Biggar, ML12 6BX

Fernbank Cottage

A gorgeous, characterful cottage that is quite simply a Tardis of a house, offering deceptively spacious and wonderfully flexible accommodation, beautiful cottage gardens and lovely views across the town to the hills beyond. Fernbank Cottage is a truly charming and individual home, full of character, warmth and quirky appeal. From the pretty cottage garden entrance and high ceilings to the stripped timber floors, panel doors and inset stoves, the property has a lovely atmosphere throughout, whilst offering far more accommodation than its charming cottage exterior might suggest.

Set close to the centre of town, the cottage provides four double bedrooms and two public rooms, together with a modern kitchen, shower room, private parking and delightful enclosed gardens to both the front and rear. The two public rooms offer excellent flexibility and could be used in a variety of ways to suit individual requirements, including the possibility of creating a fifth bedroom if desired.

Key Features

• A gorgeous and individual character cottage – Full of charm and personality, Fernbank Cottage combines traditional cottage character with surprisingly spacious and flexible accommodation, creating a wonderfully welcoming home.

• Two lovely public rooms – Positioned to the front of the property, both rooms feature beautiful stripped timber floors and inset stoves, creating warm and characterful spaces. One is currently used as the lounge and the other as a dining room/home office, although both offer flexibility of use and could potentially provide an additional bedroom if required.

• Modern kitchen with garden access – The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, integrated appliances and space for a small table. A rear door leads  outside, with steps providing access to the terraced rear garden.

• Four double bedrooms – The accommodation is wonderfully deceptive, with two double bedrooms on the main upper level, both enjoying an outlook to the front. One features a character fireplace, while the other has a useful storage cupboard together with additional eaves storage.

• Further bedrooms hidden away to the rear – A series of steps leading from the dining room reveal yet more accommodation. A mid-level landing gives access to a good-sized third double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, whilst further stairs lead to a large fourth double bedroom, currently enjoyed as a studio/sitting room. This unusual arrangement adds to the property's unique character and versatility.

• Character features throughout – High ceilings, stripped timber floors, panel doors and inset stoves combine with the cottage's quirky layout to create a home with genuine warmth and individuality.

• Beautiful cottage garden to the front – A gate opens into a pretty little cottage garden, creating a delightful approach to the front door. With its cottage planting and charming patio area, it provides the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee.

• Terraced rear garden with lovely views – The enclosed rear garden is a real feature, with a patio and BBQ area, areas of lawn and an abundance of mature planting, shrubs and trees. There are numerous little spaces in which to sit and enjoy the garden at different times of the day.

• Fruit trees and herb garden – The mature garden has a wonderfully established feel, with an abundance of fruit trees, a dedicated herb garden and established planting adding to its charm.

• Summerhouse with a view – At the upper terrace sits a lovely summerhouse, providing a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the outlook across the town towards the hills to the south.

• Useful external storage – Three timber sheds provide excellent additional storage for gardening equipment, bikes and outdoor belongings.
