CONVERTED COACH HOUSE WITH OPTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL ACREAGE AND EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES.

The Coach House is set within private grounds within the desirable rural hamlet of Glenormiston, situated within walking distance of the nearby town of Innerleithen (approx 1 mile), (which offers an excellent range of local amenities), and just 5 miles south of Peebles.  Thoughtfully renovated by the current owners into an exceptional and unique family home, lending itself well for home working due to the size and versatility of the accommodation, and large amounts of circulation space including the galleried landing at first floor level.  Benefiting from modern day luxuries whilst retaining many original features, the living accommodation is the epitome of light and space.  At the heart of the home is a multi-functional double height room which currently serves as a lounge, dining area and houses the high gloss black and cream Cuccina fitted kitchen with island unit, full stave walnut worktop, integrated Siemens appliances including; dishwasher, fridge freezer, cooker, steamer and bean to cup coffee machine, and spacious pantry off.  Velux windows provide lots of natural light, and floor to ceiling windows frame views of the cobbled courtyard and surrounding grounds.  Stoves in three of the main living areas offer a warm ambience and focal point, plus a practical and economical secondary heat source and back up for hot water and cooking.  Brazilian grey slate covers the whole of the ground floor which also has the benefit of underfloor heating.  On the first floor a superb, spacious master bedroom with dressing area, including a range of fitted wardrobes, en-suite bathroom with double aspect, separate walk-in shower and free standing bath are of particular note.  This bedroom can be accessed via a spiral wrought iron staircase from the utility room, or via the hallway at first floor level.  The main staircase is finished in oak and is located at the opposite end of the house, leading up to the galleried landing which has a glass balustrade, oak flooring, and provides a further versatile living area / home office.  The property is finished to a high specification, offers an exemplary fusion of traditional and contemporary design with scope for further extension / renovation (subject to consents).  The layout also lends itself well to the possibilities of sub-dividing, or for use as a holiday let.
