Doorsteps is delighted to bring to the market this unique family home in the Scottish Borders.
Baird’s Bank sits looking south west over the Tweed Valley, some 3 ½ miles from Kelso. Built in 2007 by Fjordhus, the home is located near the main entrance to and just off the private drive to what was the very grand Stichill House.
The main drive to the home takes visitors through the spectacular sandstone gate pillars which served as the main entrance to the long gone mansion house. As built, to the present owner’s specification, the main entrance to the property is on the first floor and is approached over a steel framed wooden bridge. Benefitting from high levels of insulation and heated by a ground source heat pump, this modern property is built largely with materials from and to a Norwegian design.
There are two bedrooms on the upper floor and a family bathroom all off a versatile open area serving several purposes.
From the upper storey a feature wooden staircase leads downstairs to a large living room on the ground floor, a kitchen/dining room, utility room and the main bedroom with en suite.
The garden, which is on three distinct levels, can be accessed from this level via two sets of French doors or from either side of the house.
Outside there is parking for several cars and a generously sized garage, built to complement the house, with water and power.
A Danish Hwam wood burning stove in the main living room is capable of providing heat for the whole house.
The surrounding countryside can be accessed directly from the garden, offering miles of walking without going near main roads. The large but manageable garden has distinct sections that offer something for everyone.
Edinburgh is approximately one hours drive away and Newcastle upon Tyne is under two hours away.
Kelso’s shops and service businesses provide all that most will ever need.
