Description

Hello, have you been waiting for this rare opportunity to purchase a truly splendid, traditional detached stone built former manse, situated in the quaint countryside village of Elsrickle near Biggar?
Would you like it to be set in approximately 0.9 acres of land with south facing gardens, offering gorgeous open countryside views, and a separate large walled garden providing a feeling of peace and tranquillity unique to this property - an incredible asset for summer months spent outside, and beautiful to look over on snowy winter days whilst the log burner crackles away inside!
What about living in a beautiful and quiet countryside location, but just a short drive from the bustling town of Biggar, and within a commutable distance from both Edinburgh and Glasgow?
How would you like to own a property which has retained many period features including sash and case style windows, ceiling roses and cornicing, and traditional doors?
Would you like to enter your new home through double doors into an immediately impressive hallway, leading directly to a large formal lounge with dual aspect windows, hard wood flooring & feature fireplace, dining room with plenty of space for a full size dining table & additional freestanding furniture, and breakfasting kitchen with a range of wall and floor mounted units, range cooker & space for white goods?
What about another big family room to the rear of the property with hard wood flooring, contemporary wood burning stove, lots of space for all of your furniture, dual aspect picture window formation offering yet more spectacular views, and a sunken nook to the far end of the room which could be used as a home office space?
How about a big, bright primary bedroom decorated in soft pastel tones, with tall deep set windows providing more beautiful views, carpeted flooring underfoot and plenty of floorspace for all of your furniture?
Would you like a further 5 bedrooms, all well-presented and great sizes, offering versatile accommodation & with bedroom 5 lending itself to use as a home office?
What about not one, but two full size family bathrooms, both with full bathroom suites and the second bathroom benefiting further from a shower cubicle with mains shower?
How about a handy WC/utility room, fully plumbed for white goods & with a range of floor and wall mounted units, work surface, sink and low level WC?
Well, after all of that, could you ask for anything more?
Yes! Would you like a big basement providing a huge storage space, accessed from inside the house?

This beautiful, charming, and unique family home really needs to be viewed to be truly appreciated offering substantial and flexible accommodation retaining many original features throughout. Given its proximity to the main town of Biggar, it truly is countryside living at its best without being miles away from schools, shops, restaurants etc. If you're looking for the countryside lifestyle but also want to be within an hour's drive of Glasgow and Edinburgh, it really doesn't get much better than this!
