21 Lowther View

A charming two-bedroom end-terraced cottage, beautifully positioned in an elevated setting within the historic village of Leadhills, Scotland’s second-highest village, surrounded by some of the country’s most breathtaking landscapes. Originally a traditional miner’s cottage, 21 Lowther View has been thoughtfully refurbished over the years to create a cosy and welcoming home that combines its traditional character with the comforts of modern living. With beautiful open countryside to the rear, views across the village and Lowther Hills from the garden to the front, and private parking, this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a quieter pace of life in a truly picturesque setting.
