As you take a tour of this exceptional home you will notice the superior, traditional construction methods which have been effortlessly blended with modern design to create a home full of features and detailing rarely used in contemporary construction.
Clyde Valley has a long history of fruit growing which dates back to the 5th century, Stewartbank Orchard itself was well known locally as Granny Millers Cottage and was a Victoria Plum Orchard. Reminders of its history are dotted around the land with plum, pear and apples trees in abundance, the home itself incorporates the traditional cottage which once stood and although now concealed within a contemporary façade, some elements of the cottage are still visible.
The interior of the home boasts outstanding features, as you enter the reception hallway you will immediately notice the exceptional detailing. Hand made by James Stoddart Joiners in Carnwath detailed mahogany wood sprawls throughout the home’s deep skirtings, facings and doors. The cornice coving throughout was crafted by the famous firm Toffolo Jackson. The lounge boasts exceptional views over Clyde Valley and features a focal point gas fireplace.

A wood burning stove set within a focal point fireplace sits within the centre of the sitting room.
The home provides four well-proportioned double bedrooms on the ground floor, as you meander down the exceptionally large hallway you will notice the windows become deeper, this is where this new home nods to the old cottage which once stood in its place.
