4 bed detached house for sale

Glenburn, Caledonian Road, Peebles EH45

Description

Renovated extensively throughout, Glenburn offers a wonderful blend of traditional character, contemporary design and modern efficiency. Considerable thought and investment have gone into creating a comfortable and practical family home, with generous and flexible living spaces, two bathrooms, excellent storage and a particularly impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area opening directly onto the rear garden.
The real heart of the house is the generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Designed as a sociable space for everyday family life as well as entertaining, the room offers clearly defined areas for cooking, dining and relaxing while retaining an open and contemporary feel.
A wood-burning stove creates an attractive focal point within the living area, while triple-glazed sliding doors span the rear of the room, providing a wonderful connection with the garden and allowing the countryside outlook to become part of the living space. The doors are complemented by beautiful made-to-measure voile window dressings.
The kitchen has been carefully designed with both appearance and practicality in mind, featuring wooden-fronted cabinetry, a pull-out pantry and stone worktops containing naturally occurring garnets, adding an unusual point of interest to the finish.
Appliances include a double oven, with pyrolytic cleaning to the main oven and a telescopic shelf, induction hob, freestanding fridge and dishwasher. The fridge and dishwasher are located within the kitchen, while the washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer are situated within the adjoining utility room.
The separate utility provides valuable additional storage and laundry space, helping to keep the main living areas uncluttered, and benefits from direct access to the garden via a side door.
The more traditional features of the house have been carefully retained and complemented by the renovation. The front reception space, currently offering versatile double-bedroom accommodation, features an attractive window dressed with floor-to-ceiling, fully lined, made-to-measure wool curtains. The room could equally work well as a home office, snug or additional reception room.
A modern family bathroom completes the principal accommodation on this level and incorporates hand-built storage, providing a practical yet characterful finishing touch.
Storage has been particularly well considered throughout the house, with excellent concealed storage beneath the stairs, a dedicated area for coats and a large airing cupboard.
Upstairs, the generously proportioned, dual-aspect principal bedroom enjoys views over the garden to the rear and towards the surrounding countryside to the front. Traditional details include an ornamental fireplace and built in wardrobe, while a built-in wardrobe provides useful storage. Made-to-measure blinds to the front of the property are included.
There are two further double bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family, guests or home working. A contemporary shower room serves the upper floor and complements the family bathroom downstairs.
A hatch from the upstairs hallway provides access to the attic space, offering further useful storage. The property has also been comprehensively upgraded behind the scenes, with extensive insulation throughout, including beneath the ground floor, together with underfloor heating, helping to create a warm and comfortable home.
Externally, Glenburn enjoys a substantial rear garden with exceptional views across the surrounding countryside. The generous outdoor space provides plenty of room for family life, entertaining and gardening, as well as simply enjoying the property's attractive setting and open outlook.
Within the garden is a substantial bespoke shed, constructed on solid foundations, providing excellent additional storage or potential space for hobbies and outdoor equipment. There is also a garden area to the front of the property.
Further practical benefits include a garage, off-street parking and electric vehicle charging facilities.
Having undergone an extensive programme of renovation, Glenburn successfully combines the proportions and character of a traditional home with the comfort and efficiency expected of modern living. Details such as the underfloor heating, extensive insulation, quality kitchen finishes, bespoke storage and made-to-measure window dressings demonstrate the thought that has gone into the renovation, while the substantial garden and superb countryside views make the most of the property's setting.
For families in particular, the combination of four-bedroom flexibility, generous open-plan living, excellent storage, substantial outdoor space and proximity to the amenities of Peebles makes this a particularly appealing long-term home.
