Description

Completed in 2019 Baytrees is a remarkable architecturally designed home offering a fabulous lifestyle opportunity. Quietly nestled into the established Berwickshire village of Whitsome, the property offers plenty of peace and tranquillity whilst still enjoying easy connections to nearby towns and villages, not to mention good commuter links to Edinburgh. The design of the property has been meticulously planned with many clever design features that combine to make this a wonderfully unique home. The intelligent use of glass creates a great sense of space and light, not to mention the fabulous south facing views from the rear whilst the stone work to the exterior gives great character and the hand crafted staircase provides a standout show piece. The contemporary nature of the interior includes a distinctive mezzanine level seating area and superb open plan living accommodation - planned with modern family living at the forefront of the design and boasting a seamless indoor/outdoor connection. With a luxurious level of finish, there are also several well considered eco credentials that contribute towards an impressive energy rating; solar panels to the south elevation, heat recovery system and under floor heating.
