Nestled in the historic market town of Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, this remarkable former church offers a unique holiday experience, accommodating up to 19 guests across its nine spacious bedrooms. With its central location and stunning park views, the property combines original features with modern comforts, creating an inviting atmosphere for family or friends gatherings. Strathaven, which received a Royal Charter in 1450, is approximately 18 miles from Glasgow and is conveniently situated along the A71, making it easily accessible for visitors exploring the region.
The church's prime location next to Allison Green provides guests with direct access to well-maintained parks, including John Hastie and George Allan Parks. These parks offer a variety of recreational activities, such as boating on the pond, miniature railway rides, and a putting green, all set against a backdrop of beautiful flower beds and the serene Powmillon burn. The area comes alive during the summer with events like the Strathaven Gala and the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival, making it an ideal destination for those seeking both relaxation and entertainment.
Inside, the property is thoughtfully designed to cater to large groups. The ground floor features three double bedrooms with super-king beds, a twin bedroom, and a triple bedroom, alongside a bathroom and a utility room. Guests can enjoy leisure time in the games room, which is equipped with a slate bed pool table and a selection of books and games. The middle floor boasts a grand hall displaying art from the John Hastie Museum Trust, an open-plan living area with seating for 12, and a dining room with a long table that can accommodate up to 20 guests, perfect for memorable meals together.
The top floor houses a luxurious master suite with a four-poster bed and ensuite, along with additional bedrooms featuring super-king and twin beds, each with their own ensuite facilities. The church is located near local landmarks such as Cambusnethan Priory and Holmwood House, and visitors can explore the natural beauty of nearby Chatelherault and Calderglen Country Parks. Families can find activities suitable for children at Gouldings Garden Centre or enjoy local events at Hamilton Park Racecourse, making this vacation home a versatile choice for various interests and ages.
