EAST Kilbride New Town is not perhaps the first place you would look to find a 300-year-old character home …however, age is not the only defining characteristic for Nerston Mill.
This exceptionally spacious and fully upgraded, semi-rural former mill owners’ house is steeped in character and includes an annex, outbuildings with potential for development – and the original working mill and mill stones, the latter now a distinguishing feature within the property’s three-acre-plus garden grounds.
Situated on the edge of the new town, Nerston Mill benefits from a lush pastoral setting backing directly onto East Kilbride Golf Course, while also being close to Crossbasket Castle, now one of Scotland’s most luxurious hotel and event venues.

With an internal area spanning just over 5,000 sq ft, this is a very sizable home – ideal for multigenerational family living or combining a home and business. Nerston Mill also offers scope for equestrian use, with a large, enclosed paddock and two stables.
Over two levels, the beautifully presented accommodation comprises reception hall, large dining kitchen with centre island and adjoining utility with garden access, superb living room with adjacent raised dining area, games room and adjoining garden room.
Upstairs are five spacious bedrooms (two with en suite facilities, one with walk-in wardrobe) and a sumptuous family bathroom with steps up to a sunken bath. The annex accommodation is currently accessed via the games room - although it also has an entrance at the front of the building and additional access to a private garden.
It includes an inner hall, gym, cinema room, home office, shower room, and a sizable living room and kitchen area – previously used as self-contained accommodation for grandparents, and more recently, for adult children and their partners. The annex also has a separate enclosed garden with decked sun terrace, artificial lawn, and parking area.

The garage block has been accepted by the Planning Department as ‘Permitted Development’ for recreational use. This building has its own autonomy with separate gas and electricity supplies and could easily be converted into a separate dwelling house subject to the necessary planning consent.
Proposed drawings include a side entrance hall, large L-shaped reception room/kitchen with external access to both the front and the rear courtyard, two bedrooms, shower room and open-plan loft. The building has been completed to a high standard with only a final fitout required. The building also incorporates a double garage with electric door, and two stables.
Other notable features include electric access gates and an expansive cobbled driveway complete with centre island and live Artesian well, ample parking space, external lighting, alarm, and CCTV systems.
An amazing family home in a rural yet easily accessible location close to local amenities and motorway links – for sale with Rettie’s Newton Mearns office at offers over £850,000.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
