A rare chance to buy a one‑bedroom period property in Thankerton, offered for cash buyers only. This end‑of‑terrace cottage sits on a generous plot with a driveway, front and mature rear gardens and scope to create a comfortable rural home or an income asset after renovation.
The layout includes two generous public rooms, a sizable kitchen, porch, one double bedroom and a shower room across approximately 721 sq ft. The cottage requires full modernisation throughout — buyers should expect electrical, heating, insulation and cosmetic works to bring the property up to modern standards. There is no mortgageability for this sale, so purchasers must be cash ready.
Practical positives include off‑street parking, low Council Tax (Band A), no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for rural working. The location is quiet and rural with reasonable road links to nearby towns, but the local area scores high on deprivation indices, which may affect resale in the short term.
This property suits an investor, developer or an experienced DIY buyer comfortable managing a full renovation. With careful refurbishment, the cottage has clear potential to unlock improved value while retaining period character.
