Renovated 1-Bedroom Cottage – Historic Leadhills

Set within the picturesque and historic village of Leadhills, this beautifully renovated one-bedroom cottage offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and contemporary design. Presented in true walk-in condition, it is an ideal home for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the Lowther Hills.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious open-plan living and dining area. Rich hardwood flooring and an open fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for cosy evenings. The generous dining space is ideal for entertaining, while the newly installed kitchen has been thoughtfully crafted with ample worktop space, a Belfast-style sink, integrated dishwasher and modern fittings that complement the cottage’s character. An additional utility room off the kitchen provides excellent storage and practicality.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is bright and airy, with natural light flooding through the windows, while the spacious shower room offers both comfort and convenience.

Externally, the property continues to impress. From the utility room, you step out into a private garden with a lawned area – perfect for children or pets – and an outbuilding, ideal for storage or potential future development. A raised decking area at the rear of the garden provides the perfect vantage point to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views across the rolling Lowther Hills. This area is a true gem as it is not overshadowed by any other property and offers a great level of privacy.

Leadhills is a small, historic village in South Lanarkshire, set within the picturesque Lowther Hills at one of the highest elevations in Scotland. Rich in heritage, the village is home to the Leadhills Miners’ Library (est. 1741), the oldest subscription library in the UK, reflecting its strong tradition of education and community spirit.

The village itself offers everyday conveniences including a local shop and a highly regarded primary school, both just a short stroll from the property. For wider amenities, neighbouring Wanlockhead lies just a mile away, while Abington – with further services – is around 7 miles to the east.

Despite its peaceful, rural charm, Leadhills benefits from excellent accessibility. The M74 motorway is close by, offering direct routes north to Glasgow and Edinburgh or south into England. Larger towns and cities, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dumfries, are all within an hour’s drive.

Leadhills is also celebrated for its natural beauty and outdoor pursuits, from scenic walks and cycling to its famous Leadhills & Wanlockhead Railway – the highest narrow-gauge railway in Britain.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a charming home that combines traditional character with modern living in one of Scotland’s most historic and scenic villages.
