Stunning converted cottage with private hot tub and BBQ hut and the first micro-distillery in South Lanarkshire.

Situated at the end of a private track on a working cattle and sheep farm, surrounded by wide, open green fields and views for miles, this elegant three-bedroom cottage is perfect for family or friends to escape with nature and unwind. Outdoor enthusiasts can stretch their legs with woodland walks from the door, whilst the urbanites can find a day of retail therapy in Glasgow or Edinburgh, both offering fabulous shops, culture, and nightlife.

 

Lovingly restored, this charming distillery cottage has a botanical theme throughout, with soft neutral tones and wooden details to complement the surrounding natural environment. Quirky artwork and the feature wall add character whilst patio doors allow light and air to flow in, creating a calming and peaceful atmosphere.

 

All on one level, the open-plan living space is the heart of the house, where chic furnishing and a considered layout makes the most of the space. Prepare a delicious meal in the fully equipped kitchen and gather together at the dining table, opening the patio doors on warm evenings to let the fresh air in. On chilly nights, snuggle up on the sofa in front of the roaring wood burner with a movie before retiring to the welcome refuge of the three, pleasant bedrooms. Start the morning in the contemporary shower room, attractive with pretty tiling, and take a coffee to the patio.

 

Outside, there is an enclosed garden with a patio, and the village pub and restaurant is within walking distance so you can choose to eat in or out. Relax and unwind under the stars with your favourite tipple in the bubbling hot tub, a daily event not to be missed. You can enjoy BBQ's all year round and in any weather in the fabulous BBQ hut. There is also private parking for three cars.

The farm is surrounded by fantastic forestry walks and mining heritage. There are local amenities on your doorstep, but the pièce de résistance is the on-site gin distillery next door to the cottage which you are welcome to visit. The village of Forth has a local shop and a friendly pub, while Carluke (13 miles), the largest town in the Clyde Valley, hosts a shopping centre and a wide range of shops, restaurants and cafes. Glasgow (27 miles), Scotlands largest city renowned for its culture, has internationally acclaimed museums and galleries, stunning architecture, vibrant nightlife, excellent shopping and a diverse array of restaurants and bars. In Edinburgh (30 miles), sightsee in the historic Old Town; take a themed tour and discover the many secrets of the city; and explore independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Golfers can play a round at Greenburn Golf Club (5.5 miles) or further afield at Bathgate Golf Club (12.5 miles). Wander amongst 19th-century walled gardens, roses and fountains at Kailzie Gardens (30 miles) and Dawyck Botanic Gardens (25 miles) has a restored pond, visitor centre and cafe. Find long flats and shingle at Cramond Beach (29 miles) and Silverknowes Beach (30 miles), with Portobello Beach (40 miles) offering a traditional seaside day out along golden sands. For laser tag and paintball, head to Splatmaster Kids Paintball Glasgow (20 miles), and there are plenty of thrills to be had mountain biking at Glentress Forest (30 miles), where two world-class 7stanes centres have a wide range of routes and also a treetop adventure course.

Secluded site with local shops and takeaway not too far away, you can also feed the donkeys on the farm and have a house cat if you want !!

Although the countryside was lovely to walk through (despite the mud), the nearest village of Forth had a couple of shops and was a mile away through fields)was not.
