Bank House, 5 The Square, Greenlaw, Duns TD10

Bank House, 5 The Square, Greenlaw is a charming and deceptively spacious period home, set in a prominent position within the heart of this well regarded Borders village. Blending traditional character with thoughtful modernisation, the property offers generous and flexible accommodation ideally suited to family living, with an excellent balance of reception space and open plan living, while retaining a number of attractive original features.

The property is entered via a welcoming hallway, where beautiful Minton tiled flooring immediately sets the tone for the character found throughout the home, and provides access to the principal reception rooms, establishing a natural flow. The sitting room is a particularly appealing space, benefitting from dual aspect windows which allow for excellent natural light, along with a fireplace incorporating a log burner, creating a warm and inviting setting. Original built-in cupboards add both charm and practical storage. There is also a formal dining room, complete with a fireplace and open fire, again featuring original cupboards, and providing an ideal space for entertaining and more.

A particular feature of the property is the impressive open plan dining kitchen to the rear. This is a large and sociable space, well suited to modern living, with a breakfast bar, ample room for a dining table, and direct access out to the garden. The kitchen is further enhanced by the inclusion of a useful pantry, providing additional storage and practicality. A door from this area leads to a well appointed shower room.

A staircase leads to the first floor where there are three well proportioned double bedrooms arranged around a central landing, along with a family bathroom serving this level. A further staircase rises to the second floor where there are two additional double bedrooms and a small box room, offering excellent flexibility for a growing family, guest accommodation or home working.

Externally, the property benefits from a garden to the rear, laid mainly to lawn with a patio area providing space for outdoor seating and dining. The garden is enhanced by a selection of mature fruit trees, including apple, plum and cherry, adding both seasonal interest and charm. At the end of the garden there is a garage and a separate outbuilding which is currently utilised as a gym, though it offers clear potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the appropriate consents.
