Go back to the future in stunning historical Lanarkshire mansion

It’s in a 17th century, A-listed mansion that’s steeped in history, and it sits amidst 68-acres of lush parkland within easy reach of thriving Lanarkshire towns and Glasgow city centre.

What’s not to love about this stunning, contemporary flat, whose bricks and mortar pay homage to the first Earl of Abercorn?

A rare opportunity has arisen to buy this beautiful first floor apartment, which forms part of the original Aitkenhead House, built for the Earl in the 17th century when he was Lord Provost of Glasgow.

The apartment in King’s Park has been lovingly refurbished in recent months and comes to the market in immaculate condition – which is why it is capturing the imagination of a wide range of buyers.

The grand Aitkenhead House was converted in 1986 to 14 flats of different configurations by Classical House.

Nestling in the centre of King’s Park, just a stone’s thrown from Rutherglen town centre, the property enjoys a stunning, yet tranquil setting.

Enter No 10 Aitkenhead House through a front and side gate with a secure entrance.

Enjoying a first floor position, the block extends to a residents’ close with breath-taking park views to both front and rear.

As one of only three properties within this block, it is both private and secure, and yet retains a sense of community spirit.

The impressive 18-ft open-plan refitted lounge/dining kitchen is every home cook’s dream, with stylish new units, an induction hob, an electric oven, an extractor hood, a dishwasher, a fridge freezer and washing machine.

The main lounge has engineered flooring extending into the full hallway, traditional cornicing, and a large bay window to the front, with picture postcard, panoramic views of the vast park.

The specification of the property also includes updated wiring and plumbing, a quality carpet in the bedroom, traditional timber windows, blinds and a new WiFi-controlled electric heating system.

In new-build, walk-in condition, the property has a modern and stylish appeal, enhanced by the use of Farrow and Ball-inspired, fashionable colours.

In a well-maintained parkland setting with communal gardens for the exclusive use of the property’s residents, Aitkenhead House has a grand entrance/driveway from Carmunnock Road.

There’s a residents’ car park to the front and rear of the building, in which No 10 has two allocated spaces.
