Westow House is an excellent example of an early Victorian period home; this B Listed dwelling offers substantial and highly adaptable accommodation extending over four floors including the converted basement. Rather unassuming from first impressions, this property must be viewed to fully appreciate its beauty. Boasting what arguably has to be one of the best views in Coldstream, the rear of property boasts a magnificent vista with views directly over the River Tweed, with Coldstream Bridge and the Marjoribanks Monument creating a truly unique backdrop. Occupying extensive garden grounds, the south facing aspect from the rear really is second to none; the well-manicured and expertly landscaped gardens extend to Nuns Walk beyond with a gated access allowing direct access to the Tweed Green and the wonderful riverside walks that extend around the periphery of Coldstream. Internally the property offers great versatility with a choice of wonderful period living spaces, a fully converted basement level and the option of up to five bedrooms. Having been modernised and improved by the current vendors, great care has been taken to retain much of the Victorian period charm whilst combining this with well-considered and top quality modern day comforts such as the luxurious family bathroom, modern dining kitchen which links to the gardens and a fully upgraded central heating system.

    The original charm of this property is evident as soon as you enter with the wonderful period entrance hall, sweeping staircase and detailed cornicing, all of which set the tone beautifully for the remainder of the property. To either side of the entrance hall lie both principal living spaces; the lounge featuring an open fire and a wonderfully bright dual aspect including a super view over the rear garden with the river beyond. The dining room is the perfect entertaining space with lots of room for social gatherings, and a useful connection to the kitchen beyond. Located at the rear of the property the kitchen connects directly to the wonderful gardens with the rear door leading directly to a well-positioned raised decked terrace – perfect for alfresco dining. The kitchen offers a good range of cabinetry and ample room for every day/informal dining. The turned staircase extends down to the basement level with a rear porch giving access to the gardens extending off a small half landing. The converted basement offers very useful ancillary accommodation including a utility/laundry room, walk in larder and a further home office/media room which could also be used as a guest bedroom, usefully with the bathroom located just along the hallway. The sweeping staircase with large stained glass sash window over leads from the entrance hall to a beautiful landing, off which the three principal bedrooms are located. The master boasts a super bay window with window seat, commanding a magnificent river view. Bedrooms two and three are both pleasant double rooms with one also benefitting from an adjoining dressing room with excellent built in storage. Having been completely overhauled, the family bathroom offers a real touch of luxury with a very tasteful four piece suite including a free standing shower and a roll top bath; fully tilled walls and complimentary flooring with under floor heating. Usefully on this level there is also a separate cloakroom facility. A further turned staircase leads to the fourth bedroom which occupies the entire upper floor alongside a useful walk in store which could provide future options for conversion to a bathroom. This sizeable bedroom features a triple dormer window to the rear which boasts an elevated outlook over the gardens and river with far reaching views to The Cheviots in the distance.

  • External

    The extensive garden grounds lie to the rear with a particularly sunny south facing aspect and high levels of privacy. Beautifully presented and expertly landscaped, the gardens are largely laid to lawn with a small orchard area, established beds and borders and a variety of plantings to ensure colour and interest throughout the year. The walled surround makes for a beautiful enclosure with gated side access and a further gate onto Nuns walk beyond. A raised decked terrace lies immediately to the rear of the building with access off the kitchen and provides a perfect summer dining terrace. A double length garage lies just fifty yards or so along the street; valuable for private parking and additional storage if required.
