The property

Dating back to the late 19th century, this simply enchanting five-bedroom detached house represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a stunning Arts & Crafts home in the scenic South Lanarkshire countryside. Now in need of full modernisation and upgrading, the property has retained a wealth of priceless period features, from wall-panelling and pared-back fireplaces, to beautiful sash and case windows and panelled doors. The detached property is enveloped by mature garden grounds, which yield idyllic rural views and accommodate a detached double garage with two storage rooms. Tucked at the end of Hillside Gardens, Logie Bank is among the oldest dwellings in the village and occupies a substantial plot framed by established trees. From the front, the southeast-facing house instantly endears with its inviting porch, sash windows and sweeping roof profile. The panelled front door swings open to reveal a practical entrance vestibule, followed by a spacious hall, whose high ceilings and panelled doors set a grand yet gracious tone. To the front the large sitting room boasts full-height windows and a French door set within a wide archway and framed by elegant timber panelling. A second archway marks the transition into the adjoining dining room, which features a rustic log fire and French doors onto the rear garden. Each room incorporates a classic Edinburgh Press and can be reached independently from the hall.
