Millfield is a architecturally stunning detached Victorian villa with Grade C listing, offering over 3,000 sq. ft. of beautifully presented accommodation arranged over two floors. The residence has seen a continual and considered scheme of detailed refurbishments including plastering, electrical works, plumbing, lighting, refurbished windows, comprehensive decorations, new kitchen and bathrooms and numerous outdoor works, including the erection of a summer house, cabin, garage, patio, decking and a stone lined driveway. These renovations perfectly complement the home’s wealth of charming character features, such as its characteristic turret, tall ceilings with ornate cornice, feature fireplaces and Victorian mosaic flooring.
Double doors open into the entrance vestibule and hall, with its finely restored turned wood-carved stairway rising to the first floor. The entrance hall leads to an array of elegant living spaces with elaborate details. There is an expansive multi-aspect drawing room with a feature fireplace and a curved turret bay enjoying views to the grounds, a sitting room with a front-facing walk-in bay and open fire, and a formal dining room. From here, the rear hall gives access to the boot and laundry rooms, whilst the attractive fully re-glazed conservatory has a panoramic aspect of the garden. The bespoke kitchen is home to a multitude of tasteful fitted cabinetry and display units with contrasting granite worksurfaces, along with a wide selection of integrated modern appliances and a dual Belfast sink. Deluxe travertine tiling flows from here through the conservatory and into the finely detailed shower room.
The first floor upper landing opens to three large bedrooms and a beautiful showpiece bathroom with underfloor heating, arched leaded windows and a freestanding stone oval bathtub. The lower landing opens to a fourth large bedroom, a luxury bathroom with inset bath and a versatile additional room which can be used as a single fifth bedroom, study or dressing room.
A loft with a ladder hatch, flooring and lighting and a store cupboard on the landing, offer handy additional storage space.
The plot benefits from a security fence spanning 150 metres around the property and is accessed via private electric gates opening to a sweeping stone lined and gravelled driveway which wraps around the home.
There are several versatile and sizeable outbuildings, all with electrics, including a garage, two workshops, a large charming log cabin/gym and a timber-built summer house, along with an attached greenhouse.
The grounds extend to 1.3 acres in total, flowing down to a woodland with the meandering River Clyde to the west. A plethora of lush level lawns are surrounded and interspersed with both younger trees, shrubs and planting schemes and mature and specimen trees, including a handsome giant redwood.
There are several paved terraces and decks providing the ideal secluded spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining, along with a lawned tennis court.
The small hamlet of Garrion Bridge sits within a prime rural position within the scenic Clyde Valley, benefitting from highly convenient access to both Glasgow, Edinburgh and Edinburgh Airport.
A wealth of picturesque walking and cycling routes are close at hand, as is the historic World Heritage Site of New Lanark. The nearby M74 links to the M8 offering excellent road connections, with a High-speed rail link to London from Motherwell and additional train services from both Carluke and Wishaw. Hamilton and South Lanarkshire offer a wide range of everyday amenities and schooling options, shopping, and sporting facilities.
