Full Description
Hello, are you looking for a fantastic opportunity to move to a 5 bedroom detached family home sitting within 3 acres of land, within a wonderful rural setting on the outskirts of Biggar, close to the Scottish Borders? Would you like the best of both worlds - a beautiful countryside setting, but within a short drive of the bustling town of Biggar and within an equidistant commute of both Edinburgh and Glasgow? What about a home with plenty of reception rooms for entertaining, with your formal lounge being decorated in neutral tones, carpeting flooring & beautiful feature cast iron wood burning fireplace? How about 2 other reception rooms, a family tv room & a separate dining room, great spaces for all the family to utilise? Would you like a great sized family kitchen/diner fitted with white high gloss units, matching worktops, tiled splashback, composite sink, contrasting tiled flooring, freshly painted walls, duel aspect windows letting in amazing light, plus a fantastic open plan dining area/sunroom giving access to the gardens? What about 2 bathrooms one at each end of the house for your convenience, both with wc & basin sink, one with a shower enclosure & one with a bathtub? How about 5 bedrooms all parallel to each other to the rear of the house, all individually decorated with 3 having fitted wardrobes? Would you not just love a home that has the most beautiful landscaped mature gardens wrapped around the house, with lots of ‘nooks’ to sit and relax, with views for miles over the rolling countryside? Well, after all of that, could you ask for anything more? Yes! How about a large detached garage/outhouse to the side of the property that was once an equestrian stable – an ideal space for a workshop or extra storage space? Or for those with horses or ponies to convert back to a stable block? This beautiful and very charming family home really needs to be viewed to be truly appreciated, enriched in history with the property dating back to approximately 1900. With the added benefit of being situated on 3 acres of land this home offers endless opportunity for you to realise your family forever home. Given its proximity to the main town of Biggar, it truly is countryside living at its best without being miles away from schools, shops, restaurants etc. If you're looking for countryside living, it really doesn't get much better than this!
