The Railway Sleeper

South Lanarkshire's rural landscape opens out around The Railway Sleeper, a converted station building near Lanark with views across open countryside. The property sits adjacent to a former railway line at the old Sandilands station, a few miles inland from the M74 and within reach of the Falls of Clyde and the World Heritage site at New Lanark.

The house works upside-down: ground floor holds the kitchen, dining room and shower room, while the bedroom and living space occupy the upper level to capture those views. The kitchen comes fully equipped for proper cooking, with a range cooker and dishwasher. Upstairs, French doors open onto elevated decking where the hot tub sits for two. A king sleigh bed and smart TVs are in both the bedroom and living room. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are included, and there's an electric car charging point on site. The whole property is yours alone; no smoking indoors.

A 30-minute walk reaches the Falls of Clyde, making this suitable for couples seeking countryside quiet with access to hiking, history and New Lanark nearby.
