Rowan Cottage is – A Beautifully Updated Family Home in the Heart of the South Lanarkshire Countryside. Brought to the market by Jane Buchan (ext 216) and Keller Williams.

Set within the exclusive Kings Inn development of just three distinctive homes, Rowan Cottage is a truly special five-bedroom detached property occupying a generous wraparound plot in the peaceful rural hamlet of Auchengray. Tastefully re-styled and fully redecorated throughout, this exceptional home offers flexible, family-friendly accommodation with stunning countryside views, excellent outdoor space, and a lifestyle many dream of.

Entered via a charming boot-room style vestibule, finished in wood panelling and soft grey tones, the home opens into a bright and welcoming central hallway. From here, the flow leads naturally through to the heart of the home — a vast, open-plan kitchen, living and dining space designed for modern family life.

The main family area centres around a rustic stone fireplace housing a robust AGA log-burning stove. Soft neutral décor, solid oak flooring, and exposed beams add warmth and texture, while large windows and glazed doors flood the space with natural light.

The kitchen is thoughtfully laid out, with cream shaker-style cabinetry, wooden worktops, a Belfast sink with feature tap, and a large central island housing a Rangemaster cooker and offering bench seating, extra storage, and integrated lighting via the glass extractor hood above. A chalkboard wall adds a playful family-friendly touch, and there is a large fridge-freezer and integrated dishwasher both of which will remain. The kitchen offers several storage options, including a large storage cupboard, which could also serve as a walk in pantry.

A generous utility room offers excellent additional storage with clever extending pantry style internal shelving. Matching the kitchen in style, and includes full-height cupboards, laundry appliances, including a tumble dryer which will remain in situ, as well as a secondary sink — ideal for busy family life. The adjoining double garage is accessed directly from here, making practical day-to-day living effortless.

Off the kitchen, bespoke glazed double doors open into a spectacular conservatory with oak flooring continued through. With views across the garden and access to split-level decking, this versatile room makes an ideal dining area, playroom or relaxation space — perfect in all seasons.

To the rear of the kitchen, a flexible home office or fifth bedroom provides a quiet retreat or guest space. A formal lounge, styled in rich blue tones and featuring a bespoke media/storage wall, offers a second relaxed living space. This room is also home to a fantastic newly fitted log-burner, adding to the cosy feel of this comfortable space.

The ground floor also includes a beautifully finished double bedroom with garden views and a sleek shower room featuring a walk-in rain shower, floor-to-ceiling tiles, modern vanity unit and quality fixtures.

Upstairs, the sense of space and comfort continues. The landing is floored in plush grey carpet and leads to three further double bedrooms, including the elegant principal suite. This luxurious room features soft cream carpeting, two large mirrored wardrobes, and a beautifully tiled en-suite with large bath, Victorian-style taps, walk-in rain shower, and mirrored storage.

The two additional double bedrooms are neutrally decorated and also benefit from mirrored wardrobes and countryside views through large Velux windows. A fresh and bright family bathroom, complete with corner bath, separate shower and contemporary flooring, completes the upper level. A deep shelved linen cupboard provides excellent additional storage.

Outdoor Space
Rowan Cottage sits on an expansive corner plot with mature wraparound gardens. The current owners have reimagined the outdoor space to create a balance of practicality and beauty, with multiple areas to relax, entertain, and grow.

To the rear, the split-level deck from the conservatory steps down to a beautifully landscaped garden with newly planted fruit, vegetable and herb beds, flowering borders, and well-kept lawn areas.
A large summer house serves as a useful garden store, while a private lawn to the side — bordered by mature shrubs and trees — makes an ideal play space for children or a peaceful spot to unwind.

A practical working area remains tucked behind a gate for composting and garden maintenance. To the front, a smartly landscaped garden with mature planting leads to a large private driveway, offering parking for several vehicles and access to the substantial double garage, which includes a built-in workbench and large log store.
