Girdwoodend, Auchengray, South Lanarkshire, ML11

A rare opportunity to acquire a privately positioned traditional stone-built farmhouse set within approximately 10.13 acres of beautiful gardens and a peaceful woodland. Thoughtfully upgraded with a bespoke interior design of exceptional quality, this charming property flawlessly combines traditional architecture with refined modern style.

The house was extensively renovated in 2009 to very high exacting standards with all new period windows and doors, the internal joinery work has been restored to original and an extension using matching stone and original features was built. Girdwoodend house is a traditional stone-built 4-bedroom house with a modern interior and traditional features and finishes throughout. The house is fully double glazed and benefits from under floor heating on the ground floor.

The house has an open-plan kitchen and dining area with a small utility and separate laundry
room. The downstairs bathroom is situated on the left as you enter the house, with a shower
and WC. The living room is off the dining area which brings you into the hallway where the
stairs are situated to reach the first floor. There is one bedroom situated on the ground floor.

There are 3 equally sized bedrooms one of which is accessed through another bedroom (see floor plan). There is the ability to install a new staircase to access the further bedroom directly without passing through the other bedroom.

There is a small office/study which leads into a bedroom with a further bathroom which includes a bath.

The property has a well-maintained garden at the front of the house which is enclosed by a beech hedge on one side and raised planted beds on the other. There is a patio accessed by a doorway from the kitchen providing an excellent area for outdoor entertaining. A short distance from the house is a strategically located summer house positioned to capture the evening sunshine.

The land at Girdwoodend predominately consists of amenity woodland and garden ground extending in total to approximately 10.18 acres. The woodland has been planted during the current owners tenure at Girdwoodend and has created a wonderfully private and secluded
feeling. There is a network of woodland paths around the whole property, providing wonderful
woodland walks. There is a small pond situated behind the outbuildings providing a wetland
habitat.

byre and a bothy under a pitched corrugated roof with a painted exterior.
