Ligna House, High Street, Ayton TD14

Ligna House is an impressive five-bedroom detached family home, set on a generous plot in the heart of the village of Ayton and extending to approximately 1,645 sq ft (136 sq m). Thoughtfully designed and carefully built, it offers spacious, contemporary living with bespoke finishes, abundant natural light, and practical features perfectly suited to modern family life.

A welcoming entrance hallway leads into a bright and comfortable living room that flows seamlessly into the dining room and conservatory. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the conservatory is enhanced by self-cleaning glass panels that allow rain to run off easily while keeping the space light and inviting in every season. To the rear, the well-appointed kitchen is complemented by a useful utility room and a convenient ground-floor WC. Underfloor heating runs throughout the entire ground floor, adding an extra touch of comfort.

The bespoke glass staircase leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms along with a versatile box room. The principal bedroom enjoys a Juliet balcony that fills the space with natural light, as well as an en-suite bathroom. Two further generous double bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, one featuring a charming built-in wooden play structure crafted in the form of a small house, complete with raised platforms and steps-an imaginative and delightful space for children. A final large bedroom, positioned above the garage, benefits from impressive views towards the Lamberton Hills. The box room is ideal as a nursery, study, or dressing room. This floor is completed by a modern family bathroom, with both the en-suite and family bathroom also benefiting from underfloor heating.

Externally, the large south-facing rear garden offers a peaceful and private outdoor retreat with the composite decking creating a wonderful sun trap, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A substantial, fully insulated outbuilding provides excellent flexibility, ideal for use as a home office, gym, or hobby space, in addition to a separate garden shed. To the front, a spacious driveway provides ample off-street parking and is complemented by a double garage with underfloor heating, while the grounds are fully enclosed for privacy and security.
