Description
Beautifully presented with sympathetically modern fixtures and fittings, tasteful decor, and characterful original features, this unique detached house in the heart of the village of Eddleston dates back to the early 20th century and offers four bedrooms, a large living room, a fabulous dining kitchen, and a contemporary family bathroom (plus a separate WC), The house is surrounded by delightful, well-stocked mature gardens with views over the valley, and is accessed by a private driveway. The property is screened from the road by large leafy hedges, and it is approached via a driveway. The front door opens into an entrance vestibule leading through to an airy hallway, immediately setting the tone for the interiors to follow. Through the hallway is a wonderfully bright and spacious living room, where a generous footprint allows for endless configurations of lounge furniture, all arranged around a striking fireplace with a log-burning stove inset. The room is elegantly decorated in pared-back tones, enhanced by original wood flooring and traditional cornicing. The kitchen is sure to be the sociable hub of this family home, with ample space for a dining area, including bespoke window seating, and a handcrafted, sycamore breakfast bar offering perfect spaces for family meals, entertaining, and socialising while cooking. The German Hacker kitchen (fitted in 2019) is beautifully appointed with Shaker wall and base cabinets, absolute black granite worktops, and metro-tiled splashbacks, with a cream Aga stove taking centre stage and a dishwasher integrated. A large separate utility room complements the kitchen and houses additional cabinetry, beech worktops, a ceramic sink, and an integrated oven, hob, and extractor hood, alongside space for freestanding and undercounter appliances. The home has four double bedrooms, with one on the ground floor and the remaining three on the first floor. The ground-floor bedroom is stylishly presented with navy-blue decor and a limestone tiled floor, is accompanied by an en-suite WC, and it is currently being utilised as a home office, highlighting the home's versatility. The first-floor bedrooms are all tastefully decorated and fitted with original wood flooring, and one has a characterful fireplace. Finally, a bathroom (fitted in 2018) completes the accommodation on offer, presented with chic wall and floor tiling and comprising a bath with a rainfall shower and glazed screen, a basin set into vanity storage, and a WC. Oil-fired central heating and predominantly double glazing (with secondary glazing on the few small single-glazed windows) ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. The boiler and water tank were both replaced in 2018. Externally, the house is perfectly complemented by mature, secluded front and rear gardens featuring lawns, a wealth of leafy, established trees and hedges, and a paved area for outdoor seating and barbecues. The rear garden slopes down and enjoys wonderful open views over the valley, offering a tranquil space in which to relax during the warmer months. To the front of the house is a private driveway and an external store.
