Ground Floor
The conservatory is full width and maximises the beautiful views over the well stocked garden grounds down to the Teviot and to the far reaching countryside beyond. Double doors in the centre of the conservatory open from the garden into the wonderfully inviting space, providing multiple options for relaxing, dining and entertaining. The original front door provides access to the hallway, while glazed double doors open into a separate reception space which could be utilised as a family snug or playroom. Natural light floods from the conservatory into the main hallway, making for a large and bright central space to access the ground floor accommodation, with a gorgeous, checker-board tiled floor, and spacious under stair cupboard. The front facing lounge/sitting room with large attractive bay window providing a plethora of natural light. The warmth from the wood burning stove, set in its own hearth, mantle and surround makes this an ideal room to relax and enjoy. The kitchen/breakfasting room is generously sized to accommodate a table and chairs, set with an array of floor and wall mounted units, and a practical pantry cupboard, all providing ample storage. While a wonderful oil fuelled Aga range together with a standard, four-ring electric cooker, add to the charm and practicality of this family kitchen. From the kitchen, the back hallway has additional pantry storage and also provides access to the utility room which has the old-style ceiling pulley and a wide sink unit under a double width window, together with the oil-fired central heating boiler. To the other side of the wooden door in the back hallway, which is used as the main entrance, is a very practical shower room, with a radial shower enclosure, with a close-coupled WC, vanity sink unit, heated towel rail and tiled surrounds. A double bedroom can also be found on the ground floor. This room has been used as a formal dining room, making it a great space for entertaining but can also suit those who prefer a bedroom on the ground level. A versatile room with a choice of uses.

Also perfect as a home office or business premises, detached from the main property. The private garden grounds to the rear and side have been lovingly thought out. A sheltered, gravel patio area can be found to the side, sizeable for garden furniture and outdoor cooking. The rear is mainly laid to lawn with a well-stocked and established collection of flowers, shrubs and hedgerow. South facing too, making this a wonderful space for the keen gardener or the novice beginner. An enchanting garden to enjoy with fabulous views of the surrounding rolling countryside.
