Welcome To The Old Barn, West Linton

A country idyll on the outskirts of a desirable village, this four-bedroom detached home occupies a wrap-around gated plot with generous gardens, ample parking, and scenic views, all within a small residential community. The two-storey property combines understated contemporary styling with the charm and space of a barn conversion, alongside the functionality required for modern family life.

Take A Look Around

A galleried timber-floored reception hall (with storage) creates an impressive welcome, leading into the dining kitchen and living room. Facing south and defined into separate zones by a central double-sided wood-burner, these sun-filled spaces are enriched by sophisticated décor and honey-toned wood flooring, adding to the exceptionally inviting atmosphere.

The living room, bathed in natural light from gable glazing and garden French doors, forms a bright yet cosy retreat at the rear. Meanwhile, the kitchen, with its arched windows and exposed beams, is a stunning social hub with space for relaxation, formal dining, and casual breakfasts, seamlessly connected to the garden on two sides. Blending modern function with rustic character, it features soft-grey cabinetry, timber worktops with a subway-tiled splashback, a Belfast sink, and integrated appliances including a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, double oven, and induction hob with chimney hood. An adjoining utility room (with garden access) provides discreet space for a freestanding washing machine and dryer.

The ground floor also hosts two carpeted double bedrooms, both dual-aspect with storage, positioned off the hall beside a chic family bathroom with a shower-over-bath. One of these versatile rooms would make an ideal study.
