Become a Holm bird in this stunning Lanarkshire country house

Escape the hustle and bustle of the town and city and live your best life in a grand country house that’s tucked away in the picture postcard Clyde Valley.

Now on the market is Yett Holm, which dates back to circa 1935 and retains many of its period features, including stunning detailed cornice and frieze work, rich hardwood timbers and homely open fires.

Situated in a very pleasant semi-rural location in Braidwood, this exceptional home is south-facing and is set amid generous and mature woodland gardens.

With a pebble-dash exterior finish, the house is under a combination of a red, rosemary tiled roof.

A mature hedge at its rear gives security and privacy, enhanced by a full-height, remotely operated hardwood sliding access gate and surrounding woodlands.

On the ground floor, there’s an outer canopy porch, with twin-leaf storm doors leading to the vestibule with its terrazzo tile floor and timber panelling.

The drawing room boasts an intricately-carved timber fireplace with a welcoming open fire, set in a Westmoreland slate-tiled hearth, and an impressive bay window.

The formal dining room also has an open fire with carved surround.

Chill out in the snug/TV den, or get creative in the well equipped, stylish fitted kitchen with cream units and polished dark marble worktops, a warming Rayburn range cooker, with a neat study zone to the side.

Step down to an informal dining and breakfasting room with twin leaf doors to the magnificent terrace and gardens.

The inner hallway leads to a utility room with cream and grey floor tiles, and a boiler room with access to the rear gardens.

Also at ground level, there’s a split-level TV and games room with polished black marble fireplace, doors to the gardens, and a pool table.

Two bedrooms come complete with fitted wardrobe space and tiled en suite shower rooms.

A broad, period staircase with timber spindles and turned banister leads to the upper hallway where there’s a general purpose store with a retractable Ramsay-style ladder which takes you to an insulated and floored attic space.

There, you’ll discover a home office/study with a small bay window, a bedroom with window box seating and fitted bedroom furniture.

There’s a further double bedroom, a single bedroom and a modern, all-tiled family bath and shower room with a polished marble vanity unit and sink.

The master triple-aspect bedroom has an en suite dressing room, and another all-tiled, luxury en suite shower room.

Outbuildings include a summer house with twin leaf doors to a raised deck, a second octagonal summer house, a lean-to green house with light, power and water, potting and propagation benches, and a double garage with two separate, electrically-operated up-and-over roller doors.

South-facing front gardens with a block-paved raised terrace are well screened by mixed shrubs, bushes and alpine plants.

Steps lead to an alfresco dining terrace with further steps to a level lawn.

The woodland gardens feature rhododendrons and hebes which, together with a flagstone pathway, lead down through native woodland, underplanted with spring bulbs to the stream.
