Summary - Menzies Place, Leadhills, ML12 ML12 6XY
1 bed 1 bath Cottage
Compact rural project with parking, character features and strong renovation potential.
One-bedroom cottage with attic room and small garden
Set on a quiet lane in historic Leadhills, this one-bedroom cottage offers a compact, characterful base with clear scope to personalise. The kitchen/living area with a wood-burning stove and fitted storage provides an immediate living space, while an attic room adds flexible sleeping or storage options. The cottage is freehold and includes a small garden and off-street parking at the front.
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout: decor and fixtures are dated, ceiling heights are low in places, and the overall condition is described as needing work. Buyers should expect refurbishment costs to bring the cottage up to modern standards and to improve its EPC rating (currently F).
Practical advantages include excellent mobile signal, average broadband for rural standards, very low council tax, and no flood risk. The cottage suits someone seeking a project with period charm—ideal as a downsizer’s retreat, holiday cottage, or a modest investment after renovation. The location in a conservation village offers character but may limit certain external alterations.
Viewings are recommended for those who value quiet rural living and are prepared to carry out a sympathetic upgrade to reveal the property’s potential.
