Humble Knowe
Set within an extensive, private south-facing plot believed to extend to approximately 0.5 acres, Humble Knowe is a distinguished detached bungalow occupying a beautifully landscaped wraparound garden. Positioned on the edge of Duns Golf Course, yet within easy walking distance of the town centre, the property enjoys a rare combination of tranquillity and convenience. Individually designed and built in the early 2000s, Humble Knowe presents a wonderful lifestyle opportunity, perfectly suited to growing families, those seeking a peaceful retreat, or buyers looking for a more relaxed pace of life in a quiet edge-of-town setting. The flexible accommodation offers a choice of generous living spaces, each enjoying a unique outlook across the surrounding gardens and grounds. To the south, the stunning garden room commands an exceptional outlook, fully glazed and offering direct access to the gardens, creating the perfect space in which to relax and enjoy the setting. Adjoining this is the inviting sitting room, offering a more homely setting centred around a traditional open coal fire. Across the reception hall lies the formal dining room, an ideal space for entertaining family and friends. Internal double doors connect to the bright dining kitchen, complete with a Stanley cooker, and enjoying delightful views over the gardens. A practical utility room provides additional workspace and currently accommodates an everyday electric cooker. The bedroom accommodation extends from a spacious reception hall and comprises three light-filled double bedrooms, all benefiting from excellent storage. The principal bedroom is enhanced by a well-appointed en-suite shower room, while bedrooms two and three are served by the family bathroom. The property also offers excellent future-proofing potential. The extensive floored attic has been fully lined and fitted with windows, and is currently utilised as a home office and generous storage area. Subject to the necessary consents, it offers exciting possibilities for further accommodation if desired. The home's energy efficiency has also been thoughtfully considered, with air source heating, solar panels and battery storage helping to reduce running costs while supporting a more sustainable lifestyle. Lovingly nurtured over many years, the gardens are undoubtedly one of Humble Knowe's defining features. Beautifully established and thoughtfully planted, they provide colour and seasonal interest throughout the year. There is ample space for growing produce with room for chickens or other small-scale gardening pursuits if desired. Whether you are an enthusiastic gardener or simply looking for a safe and spacious environment for family life, the grounds offer something for everyone. The south-facing rear gardens enjoy sunshine throughout the day, with a number of carefully positioned seating areas designed to make the most of the setting. To the front, a sweeping private driveway provides ample parking and leads to the integral double garage. -
