Chapelknowe, Lanark Road, Hazelbank, Lanark

Chapelknowe Cottage is a simply gorgeous and charming traditional detached stone-fronted cottage, dating from circa 1880, which combines the timeless character and appeal of a period country home with the comfort and convenience of modern living.

Occupying an enviable and wonderfully private position within generous, secluded garden grounds, this delightful three-bedroom cottage has been extensively modernised and beautifully presented by the current owners. Considerable care and attention has been taken to preserve and enhance the property's original character, while creating a warm, comfortable and highly inviting home that is perfectly suited to modern family life.

From the moment you approach Chapelknowe Cottage, its traditional stone frontage and attractive setting immediately convey a sense of charm and tranquillity. Internally, the property has been thoughtfully decorated to a high standard, with a style that complements the age and character of the building. Period features sit comfortably alongside contemporary fittings, creating a home with a genuine sense of warmth and individuality.

The accommodation is well proportioned and versatile, with the floor plan providing a detailed overview of the layout and generous room dimensions. However, it is the combination of the beautifully presented interior, private gardens and outstanding rural setting that truly needs to be appreciated in person.

Reception Rooms
The principal reception space is a particularly attractive lounge/dining room, offering a wonderful focal point for both relaxing and entertaining. Enjoying aspects towards the front and side of the property, this lovely room benefits from an abundance of natural light and has a distinctly cosy and welcoming atmosphere.

A log-burning stove provides an attractive focal point and adds to the cottage's traditional character, creating a wonderfully warm and inviting space during the colder months. The room offers ample space for comfortable lounge furniture as well as a dining table and chairs, making it a versatile room for everyday living and entertaining.

Kitchen
The modern breakfasting kitchen has been designed with practicality in mind while retaining the character and feel of the home. There is a good range of base and wall-mounted storage units, complemented by worktop surfaces and a selection of integrated and freestanding appliances.

The kitchen provides sufficient space for informal dining and everyday family use, while a particularly useful large walk-in larder/store cupboard provides excellent additional storage - an increasingly desirable feature in a traditional cottage.

Bedrooms
Chapelknowe Cottage offers three generously proportioned double bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for families, couples, guests or those requiring additional home-working space.

The master bedroom is particularly impressive and enjoys its own en-suite bathroom. A wonderful exposed-beamed vaulted ceiling adds considerable character and gives this room a lovely sense of space and individuality. A window provides a pleasant outlook over the surrounding area, allowing the countryside setting to become part of the room's appeal.

The two further bedrooms are both genuine double rooms and offer excellent versatility, whether required as children's bedrooms, guest accommodation, home offices or additional reception space.

Bathrooms
In addition to the master bedroom's en-suite facilities, the property benefits from a separate four-piece family bathroom, providing a bath and separate shower along with the usual wash hand basin and WC.

The combination of two bathrooms makes the accommodation particularly practical for modern family living and guests.

Further Features
The property benefits from gas central heating, partial double glazing and a number of traditional sash and case windows, further contributing to its period appeal.

The sash and case windows, stone frontage, exposed beams and log-burning stove all help retain the character one would expect from a cottage of this age, while the modernised accommodation ensures the property is ready for contemporary living.

Gardens, Parking & Garage
One of Chapelknowe Cottage's most appealing features is undoubtedly its private and secluded garden grounds.

The gardens are generous in size and provide an exceptional outdoor setting, with areas of lawn complemented by attractive patios, mature trees, established shrubs and planting. The grounds offer plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening or simply sitting out and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

The property enjoys lovely views across the adjacent orchard and onwards through the Clyde Valley towards Hamilton, creating a particularly attractive backdrop and a wonderful sense of space.

There is also private parking for several vehicles, together with a detached single garage, providing valuable additional storage and practical space.

The gardens offer a rare combination of privacy, tranquillity and outlook, while remaining sufficiently manageable for those who want to enjoy the benefits of a substantial garden without it becoming overwhelming.

The Setting - Hazelbank & The Clyde Valley
Chapelknowe Cottage is situated within the small village of Hazelbank, one of the four villages located within the beautiful Clyde Valley.

Hazelbank offers buyers the opportunity to enjoy a genuine village atmosphere and a more relaxed country lifestyle, while still being within easy reach of the surrounding towns and transport links.

The Clyde Valley is renowned for its picturesque scenery, rolling countryside, orchards, woodland and an excellent variety of garden centres, cafés and country walks. The valley provides numerous opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, with scenic routes and peaceful walking trails winding through some of the area's most attractive countryside.

The valley itself stretches from the area around junction 7 of the M74 motorway near Hamilton towards the historic town of Lanark, providing a beautiful rural corridor while also offering convenient access to the wider central belt.

The surrounding area is particularly appealing to those looking to escape the pace and density of urban living without becoming isolated. The combination of countryside, village life and access to nearby towns makes this an appealing location for a wide range of purchasers.
