2 bed detached house for sale

25 Peebles Road, Walkerburn EH43

Showcasing truly magnificent uninterrupted views over the River Tweed and picturesque valley beyond, a wonderful, individually designed family home with generous private gardens. Built in 2012, this property may appear quaint from the outside; however, it is rather Tardis-like internally, offering comfortable and versatile spacious accommodation arranged over three levels extending to an impressive 1926 square feet. With breathtaking views, a generous open-plan living space ideally suited to modern family life, and versatile accommodation offering a wealth of possibilities, this exceptional property combines space, flexibility and an enviable setting, with scenic walks and cycle paths on the doorstep and an excellent array of amenities available in the nearby towns. Early viewing is highly recommended.

Approached via the welcoming front terrace at ground level, the property opens into a bright and inviting inner hallway, immediately creating a sense of space and light, with a staircase rising to the upper level. The impressive open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen area forms the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed for modern family living and entertaining. A front-facing window, two rear windows, patio doors and a Juliet balcony ensure the space is wonderfully light and allow the stunning River Tweed scenery to take centre stage. Generously proportioned, there is ample space for lounge and dining furniture, together with a versatile study or music area, while the sitting area is centred around an electric fireplace with attractive stone surround. The well-appointed kitchen features an excellent range of modern wall and base units, complemented by contrasting worktops incorporating a sink positioned beneath a side-facing window, allowing plenty of natural light. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and hob, while space and connections are provided for a dishwasher and under-counter fridge. A large, recessed storage area adds further practicality. Elsewhere on the ground floor, a useful guest WC is conveniently accessed from the entrance hallway. The stairs rise to the first floor, opening into a versatile open-plan space currently arranged as a bedroom, seating, and dressing area, together with a spacious bathroom. A large rear-facing dormer with triple windows floods the room with natural light while taking full advantage of the magnificent views. The bedroom area also benefits from a front-facing Velux window, while the dressing area provides access to the adjoining bathroom, which comprises a WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over. This flexible first-floor space could readily be reconfigured to create two comfortable bedrooms, with one benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom. A staircase descends from the main living accommodation to a lower ground floor hallway with a generous under stair cupboard providing further practical storage, as well as a front facing external door giving easy garden access. With a window to the side there is an extremely comfortable double bedroom, together with a fabulous and generously proportioned versatile room currently utilised as a studio office and music room featuring dual windows and patio doors opening onto a balcony to the rear, where the magnificent views extend down the River Tweed and across the surrounding tree-lined hills beyond, the perfect spot for an evening aperitif. A useful utility room provides plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, while the accommodation is completed by a well-appointed shower room.

Externally, the property benefits from private garden grounds to both the front and rear. To the front is a charming, enclosed terraced-style garden, laid to artificial lawn for easy, low-maintenance upkeep, providing an ideal space to add attractive pots and planters for a welcome splash of colour. The rear garden is generous in size, beginning with a paved patio area which provides access to an extremely useful basement, complete with power and lighting, an ideal workshop whilst offering excellent additional storage, also housing the boiler. Beyond, a further area of artificial lawn is bordered by stone walling and showcases a delightful model railway layout. The garden is further enhanced by an abundance of flourishing fruit trees, offering a plentiful seasonal harvest, together with an attractive selection of mature shrubs and established greenery. Beyond, a large driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles, alongside a generous, detached garage which also benefits from power and lighting along with a large fitted workbench.
