A Landmark Home Rich in Character, History and Heritage

Zebra Cottage, 5 Glen Road, Shotts:
Believed to have originally been built as the manager's residence for the nearby Shotts Ironworks, Zebra Cottage is a home steeped in local history and folklore. Dating back to around 1900, local stories suggest the man responsible for building the property was a captain of a seafaring vessel, adding an intriguing chapter to the home's already fascinating past. Today, this remarkable detached residence stands as one of Shotts' most distinctive and recognisable homes, offering an exceptional blend of period character, generous living space and modern family practicality. Extending to approximately 230m2, Zebra Cottage has evolved over the years through thoughtful extensions, creating a substantial family home that retains all the charm and individuality buyers hope to find in a property of this era. From the moment you step through the door, there is an undeniable sense of warmth and character. Multiple reception rooms provide outstanding flexibility for modern family life, whether you're entertaining guests, working from home or simply looking for space for everyone to enjoy. The welcoming family room centres around a charming wood burning stove, while traditional fireplaces and original features offer subtle reminders of the property's rich heritage. The spacious accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule, welcoming hallway, living room, family room, additional lounge/home office, formal dining room, kitchen, bright and airy sun room, ground floor bedroom and family bathroom. Upstairs, a generous landing leads to four further bedrooms and a modern shower room. Outside, the property is equally impressive. Mature gardens surround the home, creating a private and peaceful setting that feels far removed from the everyday. A detached garage provides excellent storage and parking facilities, while the detached studio building offers endless possibilities. Complete with power, water supply and shower facilities, it could serve as a home office, creative workspace, gym, guest suite or business premises. Positioned within an established residential setting, Zebra Cottage enjoys the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Local amenities, schooling and transport links are all within easy reach, while Shotts railway station provides direct links to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, making it an ideal base for commuters. Homes with this level of character, history and flexibility rarely become available. Zebra Cottage is far more than simply a house. It is a piece of Shotts' heritage, ready to begin its next chapter.
