5 bed detached house for sale

Braidwood, Carluke ML8

Nestled in rolling scenic landscapes, just one mile from the ever-popular village of Braidwood. Crossgates presents a truly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly versatile family home. Set within a generous and private plot, this beautifully upgraded property combines modern energy-efficient technologies with timeless character and charm — all wrapped in a peaceful, semi-rural setting with convenient links to local amenities, transport routes, and beyond.

Offering five spacious double bedrooms, this exceptional residence has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate a range of lifestyles. At its core lies a wonderfully appointed kitchen and dining area — the true heart of the home — complemented by two reception rooms, a separate utility room, and two bathrooms. One of the home’s most compelling features is its intelligently integrated annexe. With its own private entrance, heating system, kitchen, bathroom, snug, and two bedrooms, it’s the perfect solution for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or even potential rental income — future-proofing the property for changing family circumstances.

The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of improvements to ensure comfort, efficiency, and sustainability. These include the installation of two separate Air Source Heat Pump systems (servicing the main house and annexe individually), a full upgrade to insulation throughout, and the addition of solar panels — offering a modern, eco-conscious lifestyle while keeping energy costs in check.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The grounds are both expansive and characterful, offering open lawns, mature planting, and space to unwind or entertain. A detached outbuilding, fully serviced with electrics and its own WC, provides two further rooms — ideal for use as a home office, creative studio, gym, or workshop. A garage and ample driveway space complete the outdoor offering.

Crossgates is perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of both worlds. The serenity of the rolling South Lanarkshire countryside surrounds you, yet excellent road links — including swift access to the M74 — and nearby rail connections from Lanark/Carluke Station ensure easy travel to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and beyond.
Lanark itself offers a wealth of amenities, from supermarkets and restaurants to a historic 18-hole golf course, Lanark Loch, and the scenic Clyde Valley. Reputable schooling, including Lanark Grammar, is also close at hand, making this an ideal location for families.
Crossgates is an even shorter drive to Carluke, where you'll find a range of amenities including supermarkets, cafes, shops, and schools, along with excellent transport links to Glasgow and Edinburgh, offering the perfect mix of rural tranquility and urban convenience.

Whether you’re looking for a forever family home, a flexible multi-use space, or a tranquil retreat with outstanding convenience, Crossgates delivers on every front. Properties of this calibre, with such thoughtful upgrades and versatile accommodation, seldom come to market.
