SOUTH of the River Clyde, the picturesque rural village of Thorntonhall is a renowned property hotspot – deservedly so, given the calibre of properties, village railway station and close proximity to M77 motorway access, top-rated schools and other amenities and attractions in the vicinity.

Number five Caol Court is a modern L-shaped detached villa occupying a large corner plot within a cul-de-sac setting in the village – and with accommodation spread over three levels, it offers an abundance of space for family living, while the interior displays a high standard of specification.

Off a spacious hall, with French doors to the rear garden, is a 28ft dual aspect lounge, 25ft open-plan dining kitchen, utility, cloakroom and integral double garage. On the first floor, are three double bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities – master with extensive built-in storage/dressing area and luxurious en-suite bathroom – and a charming sitting room with French doors to a decorative balcony. And on the second floor are two further double bedrooms (both with built-in storage) and a sizeable bathroom with separate shower.

Visual impact is everything and this contemporary interior has plenty to admire from the contemporary neutral-toned colour palette, wood finishes and easy-care porcelain-tiled flooring, to luxurious fully tiled bathrooms, a statement open-tread staircase with steel balustrade and carpeted treads for comfort, and a quality fitted kitchen that includes a central island, integrated appliances and American-style fridge freezer.

This house has the space of a traditional villa – large rooms, high ceilings and an entrance hall and first floor landing large enough to incorporate additional sitting areas – but with myriad contemporary details such as built-in wardrobes, bathroom vanity storage with beautiful wood finishes and a classic fireplace that gives the formal lounge a traditional
focal point.

Externally, the expansive rear garden comprises mainly lawn bordered by mature trees to make it a playground for children and pets and also for summer entertaining, while the monobloc driveway at the front of the house incorporates plenty of space for parking. Located in a very pretty village surrounded by open countryside, this is a modern house that ticks all the boxes. Offers over £599,000 are invited by Slater Hogg & Howison’s Clarkston office.
