2 bed flat for sale

Calder Street, Blantyre, Glasgow G72

Private. Polished. Perfectly placed.

This is ground-floor living, with a little more going for it.

Welcome to Calder Street - a stylish two-bedroom cottage flat in Blantyre where contemporary interiors, generous proportions and private gardens come together in all the right ways.

It’s the kind of home that makes sense immediately. Your own front door. No stairs. Two proper bedrooms. Storage where you actually need it. And private landscaped gardens front and back. For first-time buyers, young professionals and growing families, there’s a lot to like here.

So, what does this home offer?

A spacious lounge gives you somewhere to properly settle in. Bright, comfortable and easy to furnish, there’s room for slow Sunday mornings, evenings on the sofa and the occasional house full of friends.

The stylish fitted kitchen keeps things clean and contemporary, with plenty of workspace and storage for everyday life. It’s practical without feeling purely practical - exactly how a kitchen should be.

Two well-proportioned bedrooms give you options. Keep both as bedrooms. Turn one into the work-from-home setup you’ve been promising yourself. Nursery. Guest room. Dressing room. The space is there; how you use it is up to you.

There’s also integrated storage throughout, keeping the things you don’t want on show exactly where they belong, while a modern family bathroom completes an interior that feels considered, comfortable and ready to enjoy.

But the part that changes things? Outside.

Private landscaped gardens sit to both the front and rear, giving you something apartment living rarely does - outdoor space that’s actually yours.

Morning coffee out front. Dinner in the garden. Friends round when the sun decides to make an appearance. Space for the kids. Space for the dog. Or simply somewhere to close the door and have five minutes to yourself.

Add double glazing and gas central heating, and the practical side is taken care of too.

Then there’s the location.

Set within an established and well-connected pocket of Blantyre, Calder Street puts the essentials of everyday life comfortably within reach. One of the location's biggest advantages is Blantyre Train Station being within walking distance, offering regular services into Glasgow Central and making this an ideal base for commuters and city-based professionals. Blantyre's Main Street provides supermarkets, shops and everyday amenities close to home, while neighbouring Hamilton expands the offering with its town-centre shopping, retail parks, restaurants and leisure facilities. Locally, there's plenty for a coffee, lunch or an evening out, with popular spots including Carrigan's Blantyre, The Parkville Hotel and a growing mix of independent cafés and takeaways, while nearby Bothwell and Hamilton offer an even wider choice of coffee shops, bars and restaurants.

For getting around, the location works exceptionally well. Alongside having the railway station within walking distance, regular bus services connect Blantyre with Hamilton, East Kilbride, Cambuslang and Glasgow, while nearby access to the A725 and M74 makes travelling throughout Lanarkshire and the wider Central Belt straightforward. Families have a choice of local primary and secondary schools, while healthcare is well served by local gp practices alongside University Hospital Hairmyres and University Hospital Wishaw. Glasgow's major universities-including the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow Caledonian University and the University of Glasgow-are also readily accessible by road and rail.

And when it's time to switch off, there's no shortage of space to do it. The grounds surrounding the David Livingstone Birthplace provide attractive green space and riverside walks close to home, while Strathclyde Country Park and Chatelherault Country Park bring miles of walking and cycling routes, woodland and outdoor recreation within a short drive. Blantyre Leisure Centre caters for swimming and fitness locally, with further gyms and health clubs available throughout Hamilton. With Blantyre Train Station within walking distance, Glasgow easily accessible, and shops, schools, cafés, restaurants, pubs, parks and leisure facilities all close by, Calder Street delivers the kind of connected lifestyle that works particularly well for first-time buyers, professionals, young families and downsizers.

It’s technically a flat.

It just doesn’t live like one.

Ground floor. Two bedrooms. Private gardens front and back.

Your own space, in every sense.
