4 Bed Semi-Detached House, Single Let, Peebles, EH45 8LF £540,000

Reception rooms – Two stylish reception rooms to enjoy

With eye-catching original features, the living room is the embodiment of refinement. It features detailed cornice work and ceiling rose, classic wall panelling, and heritage-style twin sash windows, flooding the room in southerly light. Subtle décor and wooden floorboards complete the beautiful aesthetic, along with a black slate mantelpiece inset with a cast-iron gas stove. A modern family/formal dining room provides a second reception area that is also spacious and light filled. Perfect for dinner parties, it has eco-friendly bamboo flooring and French doors to the rear garden – a wonderful backdrop for meals.

Bedrooms – Four bedrooms with elegant decoration

On the first floor off a landing with fitted library shelving, there are three bedrooms. These include the large principal suite which overlooks the rear garden. Elegantly presented and laid with a bamboo floor (like the landing), this bedroom enjoys a recess with display shelving and a large fitted wardrobe, part of which cleverly leads to an en-suite shower room. At this level, there is also another spacious double bedroom and a versatile single bedroom/study/office with original window shutters. Another spacious double bedroom occupies the entire second floor. Fronted by a dormer window, it affords wonderful views to the Manor Hills. It also incorporates built-in shelving and clothes hanging space, with substantial under-eaves storage accessed through two half-height doors.

The property has gas central heating (via a combi boiler with Nest wireless control) and underfloor heating in the studio. All windows are double-glazed and the house is insulated. It is also fitted with high-capacity broadband as well as a fire and smoke alarm system (complaint with the latest regulations).

Garden – A luscious garden with vibrant colours

Externally, Flowerdale has a garden to the southeast-facing front which has a low-maintenance design and mature planting. It also incorporates a driveway for private parking. A more substantial garden is to the rear, which is fully enclosed by original whinstone walls and a pine-planked divide. Arranged around a charming pond, it comes alive with vibrant colours thanks to established (bee-friendly) planting beds, creating a lush environment for relaxing and dining on the patio. In addition, there is a summerhouse used as a garden office/potting shed. It can connect with the home’s Wi-Fi, and is fully insulated, coming complete with lighting and power sockets.
