The Steading at Mid Yardhouses is situated at 
the end of a quiet country lane and forms one 
half of a former farm steading. The property 
shares a courtyard with the neighbouring 
farmhouse. Being in an elevated position it has 
far reaching views. The property is constructed 
of stone beneath a slate roof and offers 
potential to be converted into a pretty stone 
cottage. Although planning permission has 
been approved according to the plans within 
these particulars, buyers have the option of 
applying to change the internal layout of the 
property to suit their own requirements. Please 
note that the red tin building as shown on the 
front cover has been removed. 
 
Additional Land: 
The Steading is set in about 0.21 acres and 
additional land may be available for purchase by 
separate negotiation.

The Steading has a peaceful rural location in gently rolling farmland, however it is very easily accessible to a range of shops and services. For daily requirements Carnwath has two general stores, a bakery, chemist, butchers, a bank, post office and a hotel, along with its own Health Centre. There are primary schools at Carnwarth, Biggar and Walston and Secondary schools in Lanark and Biggar. 
 
For a more comprehensive range of retail and 
leisure facilities, Livingston has a selection of 
shopping centres and leisure facilities. 
The Steading is commutable to Edinburgh, Glasgow and their airports which operate flights to a wide number of U.K. and European destinations. Trains run from Carstairs and Lanark to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
