Description
Description
Rowanbank dates back to the 1930s and has been extended and internally remodelled in recent years.
The house now provides fantastic, open plan accommodation, ideal for family living, and sits in about 1.27 acres of well-maintained gardens. Although the accommodation is largely contemporary with features such as modern kitchen appliances, underfloor heating on the ground floor and a wood burning stove, there is also a good balance of traditional features including oak doors throughout.
The main door and porch are adjacent to the driveway and from here, a door leads to the entrance hall from where there is access to the kitchen / dining room, snug, and the staircase to the first floor. The open plan L shaped kitchen and dining room has been finished to a high standard and features a range of fitted appliances including an American style Bosch fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, and a wine cooler. There is also an electric Esse range cooker, provides six hobs and four ovens, a range of fitted floor and wall units with a breakfast bar and integrated double Belfast sink.
The kitchen has a dining area around the corner, with double doors accessing the decked area to the west of the house. The room is heated with a large wood burning stove which provides warmth throughout the adjacent rooms also. The snug is adjacent to the dining area, and has the original oak flooring. Off the snug, is the sitting room, a large double aspect room which benefits from wonderful views.
The ground floor accommodation is completed with a bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite shower room.
The first floor accommodation is approached by a staircase in the entrance hall. The landing at the top of the stairs has ample space for a desk and has wonderful views to the River Tweed. The principal bedroom suite has a seating area in the turret with panoramic views of the Tweed Valley. A dressing area with built in wardrobes leads to the en suite bathroom which has a separate wet area and shower, WC, basin and balcony doors with a safety railing that open to the west. The first floor accommodation is completed by a further double bedroom with an en suite shower room.
Outside To the north of the house is an outbuilding which contains a covered parking bay, a workshop and a garage with double doors which currently provides excellent storage for garden tools and heavy machinery. Behind this is a covered area for log storage. A decked area to the west of the house provides access to the kitchen, and is designed as a sun trap creating an ideal barbeque spot. There is a driveway with electric gates to the south which leads up to the house where there is parking and the driveway continues in front of the property to the garage. A further lawn sits to the south which provides the house with additional outdoor space.
Lot 2 Wrae Wood. Offers over £125,000
There are about 37.39 acres of grounds located to the west and north of the property which are available in addition. The majority of this land has been planted with a range of hardwood tree species including birch, maple, oak, rowan, beech and cherry. If Rowanbank sells in two separate lots, a right of access to the back drive of the house will be retained along the woodland track.
Location
Rowanbank is situated just to the south of Broughton, a thriving village in the Scottish Borders almost midway between the towns of Biggar and Peebles.
The village hall provides a hub for community activities including a playgroup and choral society and across the road from here there is a popular bistro and café, Laurel Bank Tea Room. The village is also home to a commercial garage and primary school as well as Broughton Brewery, a craft brewery established in 1979. The local community was awarded a grant from the Scottish Land Fund to buy the village shop, Broughton Stores, and it reopened in the summer of 2019. The towns of Biggar and Peebles offer a wider range of professional services as well as secondary schools, supermarkets and a variety of sports facilities. They are also host to a number of theatre and music clubs.
Broughton is situated on the A701, so has good road links to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the south. There is a public bus service between Biggar and Peebles, and Edinburgh International Airport is about 34 miles away. The Caledonian Sleeper service calls at Carstairs Junction station (15.5 miles) providing a useful railway link to and from London.
The local area provides an abundance of outdoor sporting opportunities with exceptional hill walking and mountain biking on the 7 Stanes. There is shooting and fishing to let locally, and the spa at Stobo Castle and Dawyck Botanic Garden are a short drive away. Furthermore, the area has been immortalised in the writings of John Buchan. The John Buchan Way passes a short distance from the property as it winds its way over the hills from Peebles to Broughton.
