House For Sale £225,000
Part of East Kilbride Parish, this handsome lodge house was the main gate entrance to the now demolished Calderwood Castle.
This traditionally built property enjoys an exceptional position on locally admired Stoneymeadow Road and has mature garden grounds which extend to circa 1 acre.
North Lodge has been extended to offer substantial accommodation set behind an attractive sandstone frontage though does require extensive upgrading throughout to reinstate to its former glory.
Viewers will be impressed by the excellent potential North Lodge offers with a premier position providing a high degree of privacy and sitting across from Crossbasket Castle, one of Scotland’s most luxurious hotels.
The accommodation extends to entrance hall, front facing lounge with exposed stonework detailing and dual aspect dining room which could also be utilised as a fourth bedroom. The remaining accommodation includes kitchen, shower room and inner hall providing access to three bedrooms.
The wonderful garden grounds include a long avenue which was constructed around the same time as the lodge, leading up to the castle, believed to be built around the 1830s, at a time when General Sir William Maxwell (8th Baronet) was making extensive improvements upon his estate. General Maxwell’s crest adorns the front facade of the building, in the same shape and configuration as the faded, stone relief on the nearby “General’s Bridge. The old Avenue of stately trees which led to the former Calderwood Castle make for a unique garden enjoyed by a great variety of local wildlife. The path was planted with a selection of Common Lime, Horse Chestnut, Pendunculate Oak and Black Poplar and Beech. The gardens include an expansive driveway providing ample off-street parking and outbuildings including a large, detached garage.
Calderwood Castle was situated near the banks of the Rotten Calder Water in what is now Calderglen Country Park and was most likely constructed in the early to mid-fifteenth century.
This enviable position provides much desired semi-rural living yet is ideally placed for a variety of amenities at nearby East Kilbride and Blantyre. These include a wide selection of shopping which is on offer at both the Kingsgate Retail Park and East Kilbride Town Centre with the area benefitting from quality primary and secondary schooling. The area is well served by various train stations within East Kilbride and Blantyre and the adjacent A725 expressway which connects to the M74 motorway providing speedy commutes throughout Scotland and beyond.
