Ellridgehill, Elsrickle, Biggar

Ellridgehill is a small private cul-de-sac in the heart of Rural Elsrickle. Eventually there will be around twenty homes and to-date, half of these have been built.

The immediate neighbour to the south-west is the primary school, which was constructed in 2019. The north-west boundary of the site which is bounded by agricultural ground, is a buffer zone and is to be planted with native trees to provide a secluded woodland walk for the benefit of the residents of Ellridgehill.

All the houses have a similar character, whilst each house maintains an individual twist. The use of materials throughout has been carefully chosen, and the peripheral landscaping which is ongoing, is innovative and interesting.

Elsrickle itself is very rural, however all the houses do benefit from Fibre to the Premises. Each house is supported by the limited use of solar panels, and the high-performance structures are heated using air-source heat-pumps. Whole house underfloor heating augments this arrangement and for comfort, the houses have whole house heat-vent recovery.

No.11, Ellridgehill

This four-bedroomed house occupies the largest and most private plot in the cul-de-sac. Accessed from a private courtyard which it shares with its immediate neighbours, there is in-curtilage parking for up to 3 cars. The house is encompassed on all sides by garden and enjoys views towards Tinto Hill to the south-west.

On entering the house under the shelter of the canopy, the hall/stairwell leads you to the living accommodation comprising a large open-plan family space with kitchen. A full height glazed screen with French doors leads to a secluded terrace with outstanding south-west views. A wetroom and utility room are next to the kitchen, with secondary access to the external service space within the garden.

To the front of the house there is a spacious private living area, with full hight glazing looking into the head of the cul-de-sac.

Upstairs offers four generous bedrooms, the master having an ensuite shower room and south- west views with french doors and a Juliet balcony. Bedroom 3 has the feature cathedral bay window which is the signature design statement throughout the cul-de-sac. A spacious landing gives access to the family bathroom and the house provides ample, well thought out storage space.
