Stockwell Farm, Braidwood, Carluke, South Lanarkshire Offers over £420,000

Stockwell previously formed part of a larger working farm and comprises a detached house, outbuildings, formal garden and grazing paddocks, in all totalling about 3 acres. The house is of traditional construction under a pitched tile roof and is harled and painted cream. The house dates from about 1884 and has been in the ownership of the present owners since 1968, at which time the house underwent a complete and major renovation programme which incorporated the agricultural outbuildings with the farmhouse to form the now extensive family home. The accommodation which is light and bright and laid out over two easily run levels offers rooms that are spacious and flexible in use. Stockwell is very deceptive and internal viewing is recommended. Four out of the five bedrooms are good sized double rooms. Over the years the house has been well maintained and the two paddocks which flank the driveway are suitable for grazing. There is a large stone double garage with workshop attached, as well as two roomy equipment stores.



Stockwell is located in open countryside in the Clyde Valley, between the villages of Braidwood and Crossford. The property offers a lifestyle opportunity in a spectacular country setting with magnificent views over the Clyde Valley to Tinto Hill. This much admired rural residence is set in well maintained formal garden grounds and is only 23 miles from Glasgow City Centre and 40 miles from Edinburgh. Carluke (2 miles) with its regular train services, and Crossford (1 mile) provide shops and amenities, which adequately cater for everyday needs and requirements. The much regarded primary school is within easy walking distance, while the brand new secondary school, with its modern leisure complex in Carluke, is served by designated school bus. The market town of Lanark (5 miles) offers a wide range of shops and facilities, and outdoor pursuits. Hamilton (10 miles) provides more extensive shopping, professional services as well as excellent private education with private travel arrangements (very handy for Hamilton College bus). Glasgow City Centre remains within comfortable commuting distance and offers all shopping, cultural and leisure facilities associated with a major international centre. Glasgow Airport (33 miles) and Edinburgh Airport (37 miles) provide regular internal and international flights.


This prestigious family home is approached via a tree-lined (100 metres) avenue of red chip surface which terminates at the main entrance to the house. There is generous vehicular parking, turning and hard standing space. A very well maintained formal garden is to the front and side of the house and is predominantly down to grass with well stocked beds of shrubs and flowering plants and is interspersed with deciduous and fruit trees. A summer house is well positioned for the afternoon and evening sun and there is decking and a patio area to either side of the house.

Two stock proof paddocks are within the grounds and provide useful grazing and amenity. A neighbouring farmer currently uses them for grazing his livestock on an informal basis. The property is not registered as an agricultural holding. Should an incoming buyer have no interest in buying the two paddocks then our clients are prepared to sell these separately.
