The property

Enjoying a peaceful setting in the picturesque Scottish Borders countryside, this substantial detached house is perfectly designed for modern family living – with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, two reception rooms and an impressive dining kitchen, plus vast gardens, a double garage and a driveway. Reached via leafy mature gardens, the front door opens into a practical vestibule with a cloak cupboard, flowing through to an inviting hall with further storage and a WC. Off the hall are two generous, south-facing reception rooms linked by a set of pocket-sliding doors. These wonderfully light and airy spaces, comprising a sitting room and a dining room, are tastefully presented with minimalist décor and oak flooring. The living room is lit by triple windows and arranged around an open fireplace with a rustic slate and timber surround, plus open shelving on both sides. The dining room (with built-in storage) boasts vast feature windows to two sides, which yield tranquil garden views and provide external access – ideal for year-round entertaining. Across the hall, the dual-aspect kitchen includes a further dining area for relaxed family meals, and is exceptionally well appointed with beech-style cabinets, granite worktops, sky-blue wall tiles, and a slate-effect floor. Integrated appliances include an eye-level oven/grill, a five-ring gas hob with a statement hood, a fridge freezer and a dishwasher. The adjoining utility room accommodates a washing machine, fitted storage and a Belfast sink, and provides handy garden access. Completing the ground floor accommodation are two of the six bedrooms: a master suite and a double bedroom, which is currently utilised as a home office. The south-facing master bedroom benefits from the luxury of double fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with a washbasin and toilet suite, a chrome towel radiator and a walk-in shower. Continuing upstairs, the light and airy landing leads to three south-facing double bedrooms (one with an en-suite shower room) and a good-sized single bedroom, all of which boast outstanding built-in storage. Styled to match both en-suite shower rooms, the contemporary family bathroom features a vanity unit with an inset washbasin, a toilet, a shower compartment, and a bath with a shower tap attachment. The integral double garage can be reached via stairs from the entrance hall, which in turn afford access to a store and a shower room on the same level. The property benefits from efficient gas central heating, solar panels and double glazing throughout. The substantial grounds accommodate a driveway and beautiful gardens, which are landscaped to include vast swathes of lawn, established shrubs and trees, and a sunny patio.
