Set on Main Street in historic Leadhills, this 19th-century freehold cottage combines period character with unusually large outdoor space for the village. The ground floor offers a cosy living room with fireplace and a versatile second reception room that can serve as dining, office or a fourth bedroom. The kitchen and dining area retain cottage charm while providing practical family space adjacent to the main shower room.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, all with good proportions and pleasant outlooks over the garden and surrounding hills. The sizeable rear garden and additional land extend the usable outside space considerably—rare in this location—and include a raised patio and long lawn ideal for outdoor living, gardening or small-scale projects.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is traditional in layout and will suit buyers seeking character and some renovation rather than a turnkey modern fit-out. There is a single shower room only; further modernisation may be desired to update services and finishes. The property sits within a very deprived area classification, and while the village offers strong community amenities and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, transport and local services are limited compared with urban locations.
This home will appeal to families or countryside buyers wanting a character property with generous garden and scope to personalise. It offers immediate occupation potential with clear scope for improvement to add value and adapt the layout to contemporary living.
