Roxburgh Church
Dating back to 1752, this unique development opportunity has gone through the rigorous planning application process, and now offers the exciting scope to create a modern home from the traditional structure. The planning includes energy efficiency elements such as air source heating, fully insulated internal walls and secondary glazing, while still retaining the heritage of the building by protecting the pulpit, original door openings and stunning stained glass, with even the suggestion to reuse the existing pews and timber panelling incorporating into the new furnishings. The ground floor will host a large reception room in the body of the kirk, with an open plan concept kitchen and living area. A separate tv room and a further snug sitting room open off. Also positioned on ground level are an accessible bedroom and bathroom, a laundry room and cloakroom w/c. Upstairs, a luxuriously proportioned master bedroom benefits a mezzanine style balcony, with two further ensuite bedrooms also on the first floor. Externally, the boundary wraps around the former church and allows for an easily maintained and level drive, parking area and potential for seating areas.
