An Iconic Traditional Detached Sandstone Residence (Circa 1897)
A truly exceptional and one-of-a-kind traditional detached sandstone residence dating back to 1897, this remarkable home is rich in character, history and original period features. Nestled within a generous plot in the very heart of East Kilbride Conservation Village, the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark home of genuine architectural significance.
From the moment of arrival, the sense of grandeur is unmistakable. Entry is via an original stained glass feature door into a stunning entrance vestibule, which opens into an impressive reception hallway. The hallway immediately sets the tone for the home, showcasing soaring ceilings, ornate cornicing, traditional solid timber doors and an abundance of period charm rarely found today.
To the front of the property lies a magnificent formal lounge, bathed in natural light from a striking bay window and further enhanced by exceptionally high ceilings and traditional picture rails. A welcoming formal dining room, also front facing, offers an elegant space for entertaining, while to the rear a charming and cosy snug room provides a more informal setting. Each of these rooms retains the authentic detailing expected from a home of this era.
Completing the lower level is a generous kitchen/dining room, perfectly suited to modern family living, with a substantial utility room and traditional pantry located off. The ground floor also benefits from two WCs and a large storage cupboard, currently housing the heating system.
The upper level is accessed via a spectacular statement staircase, illuminated by an impressive stained-glass window. Here, the home continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a breathtaking principal bedroom mirroring the footprint and shape of the formal living room below, a true dream master suite. A well-appointed three-piece family bathroom completes this level. Additionally, the property boasts an exceptionally large loft space, offering exciting potential for further development, subject to the necessary permissions.
Externally, the property is equally impressive. Set within beautifully landscaped lush green gardens, it offers both privacy and tranquillity in a central village setting. A particularly notable feature is the extensive outbuildings, steeped in history, having previously served as veterinary stables. It is now thoughtfully arranged to include a large workshop, a garage with pit, and a substantial entertaining hall ideal for social events and celebrations, complete with its own WC. This versatile space presents outstanding potential for business use, hobbies, or exceptional leisure accommodation.
This truly iconic home is a hidden gem, seamlessly blending historic character with versatile living. Whether envisaged as a distinguished family residence, a venue for entertaining, or a property with business potential, it is a rare offering of immense charm and presence. Surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and positioned within one of East Kilbride Village’s most sought after settings, this remarkable home is a true paradise, and we are delighted to bring it to market.
