BORDERING open countryside and the Clyde Valley village of Braidwood, Lochside is a modern detached villa set in two acres of magnificent formal gardens that include a loch – hence the name.

Built in 2007, the property has been upgraded to include under-floor heating and Sonos music system.

This is a particularly spacious home with an internal layout spanning over 5,000 sq ft. Predominantly open-plan, the ground floor comprises a partially double-height hall bordered by a huge open-plan living space comprises state-of-the-art fitted kitchen/breakfast area with garden access, adjacent family and dining areas with French doors to the rear garden – and a drawing room area. An inner hallway continues to the utility and adjoining integral three-car garage.

An oak staircase with glass balustrade leads to first floor landing, off which are four/five bedrooms (two en-suite and one used as a home gym) and luxurious bathroom, plus a further sizeable games room in the attic space.

The interior is neutral, a palette of contemporary taupe and grey shades with depth, complemented by ceramic tiled flooring throughout the hall and open-plan living space. The kitchen is outstanding, fitted with sleek handle-less storage, integrated appliances and an island dining table.

The property also benefits from a secure gated entrance and long Tarmac driveway lined by mature trees, which winds past the loch to widen into a parking area – a setting that offers privacy and tranquillity with local amenities at nearby Crossford and Carluke and only 23 miles from Glasgow city centre.

Lochside is for sale with Savills’ Glasgow office at offers over £875,000.
