5 bedroom detached house for sale

Delightful detached home providing completely refurbished accommodation comprising eight principal apartments, all set within very private gardens and woodland of approximately four acres.

The owners have occupied the house since 2013, during which time they have undertaken a comprehensive refurbishment programme, including triple-glazed Velfac windows and sliding doors throughout, a ground source heat pump and underfloor heating upstairs and down (except kitchen and utility), complete modern insulation to floors, walls, ceiling and attic, engineered oak and porcelain tiled flooring, and a Chesney Barrington multi fuel stove, among other improvements. The house now offers comfortable, freshly decorated accommodation, beautifully finished in a contemporary country style, and is extremely cost-effective to run. There is also a 7kW electric vehicle charger just inside the automated roller garage door.

The floor plan will provide a better idea of form and layout, but a brief summary comprises; a large reception hall with a cloakroom/WC/WHB, a spacious semi-open-plan L-shaped living room featuring a lounge area with a feature stone wall and log-burning stove, while the sitting/dining area has large sliding glass doors leading to the garden, a kitchen, a large utility room with access to the garden, and a guest bedroom/playroom.Upstairs, there is a large master bedroom with a superb en-suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an additional double bedroom/home office.

The grounds are accessed via a winding 70 meter tarmacadam driveway bordered by mature trees and shrubs. The driveway sweeps around to the front of the house, where a large gravelled area provides ample parking on a reflective granite stone and access to the integral double garage. To the side of the house, there is a large polytunnel greenhouse with overhead irrigation, a bespoke timber log store, and an attractive timber summer/playhouse. There is also around 50 cubic meters of split and dried logs stored under cover next to two 20foot shipping containers tucked in the corner of the garden for external storage.

The extensive grounds cover approximately 4 acres and include lawned areas, trees, shrubbery, rough grasslands, and partial woodland, providing the perfect playground for children amongst tall trees and extensive nature. There is evident development potential within these grounds, subject to obtaining the relevant permissions.

The majority of the garden borders farmland, a neighbouring country park which includes sites of special scientific interest (rare habitat) and beautiful mature trees. Palacerigg Golf Course and club house is also within easy walking distance.The local area has a wide selection of local amenities including shops, health & leisure, primary & secondary school and sports facilities as well as a number of historic tourist attractions. Despite being in open countryside the nearest shopping centre and supermarkets are less than a 10 minute drive.Nearby Greenfaulds railway station.
