The property

A fantastic opportunity to purchase this extremely well-designed Eco-home completed in 2023. The house meets 'Passive House' standards: being super-insulated with minimal thermal-bridging, extremely low air-leakage, triple glazing, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and solar power generation. The property and the garden are extremely low-maintenance and would be ideal for those looking for a 'lock-up and leave' home. Heatmiser room thermostats and App allow you to monitor the underfloor heating and room temperatures from afar. Pre-fitted wiring to windows facilitates installation of automatic blinds. Plumbing in the en-suite allows for a bath in place of the bidet if preferred. This exciting property also has many hidden extras for future improvement including cabling already ducted for sound, video and data and alarm systems. Infrastructure is also fitted for an Air Source Heat Pump should you wish to incorporate further renewables. Foundations and service connections are available for a porch to the front and, in place of the decking, a sunroom to the rear with countryside views. The property has been built with high quality materials and finishes throughout. Viewing this exceptional home is highly recommended. The property is set on the edge of the village of Westruther on the lower slopes of the Lammermuir hills. Westruther is a small village with some local amenities including a village hall, nursery, primary school and a bus to the highly regarded Earlston High School. Westruther sits approx. 8 miles from the rapidly expanding historic town of Lauder which offers a wider range of amenities which includes a selection of independent shops as well as a co-op, pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels as well as recreational activities and sports facilities. Duns is approx. 11 miles in the other direction and provides a similar range of amenities and recreational facilities along with health centre and GP practice. Edinburgh City Bypass is approx. 27 miles so ideal for those looking to commute. The property is set in a private garden, screened by hedges of native species and tree planting with the rear garden mainly laid to gravel and lawn. The front gated entrance leads to parking and the detached garage / workshop which has also been built to an extremely high standard and could easily be converted to a stand-alone annexe (subject to relevant permissions).
