The Smithy House
A charming detached stone-built property, brimming with character, and set within the countryside village of Stichill just three miles from Kelso. The Smithy House has been fully renovated and extended by the current owners to provide a successful blend of period features - incorporating the wonderful outdoor space and peaceful rural position, with a contemporary and artsy flair, catering ably for the modern requirement of family life and a homeworking setting. Set quietly to the edge of the village, a cottage style garden frontage frames the property, with a generous gravelled drive opening to the side. The ground floor provides comfortable and spacious living accommodation; beautifully finished throughout with period elements creating a character feel, balancing with modern touches and fittings. The dining kitchen enjoys a lovely dual aspect, with the natural light complementing the exposed beams and tiled flooring, with a multi fuel stove providing a warming feature to the dining area. Across the hall, the family bathroom is contemporary and fully fitted, with the lounge sitting to the front of the property, a welcoming and relaxed space, with original stripped flooring and a centrepiece fireplace. A connecting door opens to the study, with window overlooking the rear garden, leading on to the rear hall and opening to the Smiddy extension. With the well considered addition of a ground floor double bedroom with neighbouring shower room and a useful utility room, the main extension is home to the studio-music room – an incredible bright and spacious public room with enviable outlooks over the garden, ideal for those requiring further entertaining or hobby space. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms are well appointed and benefit in-built storage space. The garden is a fantastic flourish to the property; with access from both the kitchen and the studio, the garden enjoys excellent privacy being fully enclosed with an abundance of sheltering trees and greenery. With paved patio seating areas, neat pathways wind down the garden, with bountiful borders popping with colour and texture, further seating areas to enjoy spots and different viewpoints, with a pond, large lawn, kitchen garden, greenhouse and stone byre, there’s plenty of outdoor space for all ages and abilities to enjoy!
