31, Carlisle Road, North Lanarkshire, ML1 5NX

Sometimes, just sometimes, a house comes along that makes you stop what you’re doing and think, “I must see more!” This spectacular property on Carlisle Road, Cleland is that very house.

From the outside, this attractive traditional semi-detached home gives only a hint of just how much space is waiting inside. Think tardis but with a homely vibe.

When you step through the front door it soon becomes apparent that this is a house with plenty of charm and a lot of style. The accommodation is wonderfully flexible.

On the ground floor, the front-facing room can be used as a third bedroom or additional living room, depending entirely on what suits you.

Further through the house is the spacious living and dining room, giving plenty of room for family life, entertaining or just putting your feet up at the end of the day with a cuppa or some wine; whatever takes your fancy.

The kitchen extends to around 18 feet in length and has direct access to the rear garden.

There’s space for a kitchen table so there’s no excuse for not having a bit of toast before you run off for the train.

With room for a large fridge and with a five-ring gas hob, this is a serious kitchen. The ground-floor bathroom offers you the chance for a bit of peace away from it all.

Fancy a long, luxurious bubble bath? Go right ahead. No time for that? There’s an electric shower for you too.

Upstairs you'll find two further good-sized double bedrooms, giving the house a versatility that isn't always easy to find.

The front bedroom offers lovely views, making waking up a treat, as well as extra storage space. The principal bedroom boasts a spacious en-suite with a walk-in shower.

It’s an upstairs that doesn’t disappoint. And then there's outside. The rear garden is gorgeous, with plenty of room to enjoy a barbecue with family and friends or just a peaceful relax on a lounger.

There's off-street parking too, with room for a couple of cars on the driveway. But perhaps one of the biggest surprises is the huge detached garage.

At approximately 20 feet by 30 feet, it's considerably larger than the average garage and offers all sorts of possibilities for cars, storage, hobbies or a workshop.

Frankly, it’s almost the size of a house on its own.

You can throw all of your things in there and still have room for all that gym equipment that you’ll think about when you’re drinking wine in the living room.

It’s not just the size of the house; there are loads of beautiful touches too: The entrance sparkles with personality, with a lovely stained-glass window welcoming you home; the large window in the living room gives you the perfect place to peacefully watch the tree in the front garden bloom the most fantastic pink in spring; and the thick double-glazed windows help keep the outside world outside, not that this quiet, peaceful area gives them much work to do.

The gas boiler was installed in 2023 and has been serviced regularly to make sure that the house is toasty whenever you need it to be. The location has plenty going for it too.

Carlisle Road sits in an established residential part of Cleland, with local schools, parks and everyday amenities nearby.

Cleland railway station is around a ten-minute walk away, while road and rail connections make Glasgow, Edinburgh and Motherwell readily accessible.

For those who'd rather escape the towns and cities, open countryside is also close at hand. It's a house that can change as life changes. Three bedrooms or two bedrooms and two public rooms?

A formal dining area or a big family living space? A huge garage for the car enthusiast or somewhere to indulge a hobby? You decide.

With around 1,000 sq ft of internal accommodation, a generous garden and a garage that really does need to be seen to appreciate its size, 31 Carlisle Road offers considerably more than you might expect at first glance.

Come and have a look. We think you might be surprised by just how much house is behind that front door. And we know you’ll love it. EPC rating: D.
