Description
Blackwood enjoys a wonderful, peaceful setting in an accessible rural location. The house occupies a generous plot and offers spacious, open accommodation across two floors, perfectly suited to modern-day living. It also boasts strong eco credentials, with an air source heat pump feeding the underfloor heating, solar panels, and an electric vehicle charging point. The south-facing position is maximised by large windows that allow in abundant natural light, while the roof overhang provides shade from the summer sun yet still allows the sun’s warmth to enter during the winter.
To the front of the house is a large gravel driveway and a single garage. There are two entrances: One into a practical boot room, and the other into a spacious hallway with views over the garden.
The main reception room sits centrally within the building, featuring full-height windows overlooking the garden. The sitting room includes a wood-burning stove, providing warmth in the winter months. Adjacent is the kitchen, which has sliding doors opening onto a deck that runs along the south side of the house. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall-mounted units, a mirrored splashback, and a skylight above, flooding the space with natural light. It also contains a range of fitted appliances and a bespoke Sir Terence Conran green oak Oscar table, which is included in the sale.
The boot room sits off a secondary hallway and features a range of base units with a sink, along with two exterior doors, one to the front and the other to a drying area. On the ground floor, there are three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. A good-sized bathroom with a shower is set between the bedrooms. The principal bedroom is dual-aspect, with one window facing east towards Traprain Law to catch the morning sunrise, and another facing west to enjoy the evening sun. Bedroom 3 has direct access to its own private garden and is accessed through an extra-wide sliding door.
Upstairs, the accommodation is completed by two generous bedrooms overlooking the garden, which share a modern shower room.
The south-facing garden enjoys sun throughout the day. It is mainly laid to lawn but has been attractively landscaped with a variety of herbaceous borders, providing colour year-round. Beside the house, a large deck runs its length, offering a superb space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Two areas with raised beds provide the perfect spot for homegrown fruits and vegetables. There are also two greenhouses, two sheds (one for potting), and a polytunnel. The garden space offers flexibility and is ideal for those seeking a property that delivers a true country lifestyle.
Within the garden, a shed/studio offers flexible use as an artist’s studio or hobby room and has double doors opening to the vegetable garden. The outdoor space is completed with a cleverly concealed drying area, positioned adjacent to the utility room.
