Approached through secure gates and private driveway, the house sits within its mature wrap around gardens, bordered to the rear by an exquisite stone wall.
The property retains an abundance of original features including dado rails, picture rails, and beautifully preserved cornicing, all of which speak to the building’s heritage while complementing the generously proportioned rooms.
The vestibule opens into a welcoming central hall from which the principal reception rooms flow. To the front of the house, the sitting room enjoys wonderful natural light, enhanced by its elevated position and traditional detailing. Adjacent lies a second elegant reception room, with beutiful bay window, perfect for formal entertaining or flexible family living, while a further sitting room area offers flexibility of a snug, office or ground floor additional bedroom.
The kitchen and dining room form the natural heart of the home, with a family friendly layout ideal for everyday living. A substantial utility room provides excellent practical space with seperate pantry directly off the kitchen and direct access to the garden.
First floor accommodation is well laid out all leading off the impressive landing hall, comprising four generous double bedrooms and a further single bedroom. The single room is directly connected to Bedroom 1 yet also benefits from independent access from the landing, offering exceptional flexibility. It functions well as it is but could equally be used as a dressing room, a dedicated home office, or a future ensuite to create an impressive primary suite. Completing this floor is a good family bathroom.
Externally, the gardens wraps around the property, with established planting, level lawned areas, and sheltered corners that provide year round enjoyment. The elevated setting offers a sense of seclusion, yet the home sits comfortably within the fold of the Lasswade community. A detached garage and additional store complete this charming residence.
