General
 Low Palacecraig is a charming detached cottage located in a fine rural position near Calderbank in North Lanarkshire. The area benefits from an excellent transport infrastructure and is located about 5 minutes’ drive from the M8 motorway and within easy commuting distance of Glasgow city centre (about 13 miles). The M80 and M74 motorways are also nearby, providing easy access to all parts of the country. The area has excellent rail links and a number of stations are located within a three mile radius of the property. Glasgow International Airport is about 22 miles away and offers regular domestic and international flights. Nearby, Calderbank (about 1.5 miles) has a good range of local services whilst Airdrie (about 2 miles) offers a wider range of amenities. Glasgow offers internationally renowned shopping and a superb choice of restaurants, galleries, clubs and theatres. There are primary and secondary schools in the local vicinity.
Sitting in a picturesque position on the banks of the Monkton Canal, Low Palacecraig is predominantly constructed of rendered stone under a pitched tiled roof and originally comprised a number of smaller traditional dwellings, believed to have been built in the late 1800’s for use by the Blacksmith and Barge Man working on the Canal. The cottage offers comfortable and spacious accommodation over a single storey comprising: Porch, hall, dining kitchen, sitting room, sun room, wc, bathroom and 4 bedrooms. In addition the boiler room accessed from the rear garden provides additional storage. A new kitchen and bathroom were recently installed however the cottage would benefit from a degree of modernisation. The property benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazing whilst the sitting room and kitchen fires are fuelled by LPG.
There is a spacious and well kept garden to the front and rear of the property which includes areas of lawn, large well stocked flower beds and borders with a number of mature plants and shrubs, a hard standing parking area providing ample car parking for a number of vehicles, a greenhouse and 3 useful timber and corrugated iron stables in need of attention. Low Palacecraig enjoys a beautiful outlook over the Monkton Canal and surrounding countryside and offers purchasers an exciting opportunity to create a superb family home in a sought after location.
