The Blue House, Castle Street, Duns, TD11

Aptly named, The Blue House provides a host of meticulously maintained accommodation and a most beautiful walled private rear garden

The Blue House - Beyond the colourful façade lies a home of meticulous presentation, generous room proportions and a fabulous walled rear garden.

Having been impeccably well maintained and much loved by the current owner, this home gives a warm and welcoming ambience from the minute you enter. Sympathetically modernised to create contemporary easy living without sacrificing any of the period charm. The internal layout which extends over three floors offers a great degree of flexibility to suit a range of buyers.

The ground floor hosts super entertaining and living spaces including the very well appointed dining kitchen; the kitchen to the rear overlooking the garden has been tastefully modernised whilst the dining area to the front provides a more traditional space with striking wall panelling. Leading off is the main sitting room; a light filled space with dual aspect windows, pretty cornicing and a cosy log burning stove. A most successful garden room extension to the rear features a glazed cuploa skylight which floods this area with light. A sunny and relaxing space which allows effortless free flow access to the gardens. Excellent storage in this area includes a utility cupboard with plumbing for washing machine, and a further cloak storage space. For further convenience a smart wet room with WC, wash hand basin, shower and wet wall panelling extends off.

At first floor level, the current owner has a drawing room which again features windows to the front and rear plus a log burning stove. A valuable extra living space but with equal appeal as an impressive master bedroom if preferred. Another sizeable double bedroom lies along the hall together with a home office/single bedroom and a large family bathroom

The second floor hosts two further large double bedrooms, each with a dormer window to the front commanding a super roof top view of the town and finally a central store room provides a great facility as a dressing room.

The location on Castle Street enables easy access to the town centre amenities as well as the estate grounds, woodland walks and stunning scenery. It is rare for a property in such a convenient location to boast such an impressive garden. Nestled to the back of the property, the walled garden basks in sun all day long. With a distinct continental influence and landscaped to provide an array of colour and interest including manicured lawns, well stocked beds, rockeries and strategically placed seating areas to catch the sun throughout the day. Affectionately referred to as ‘The Barn’ a large outhouse provides great workshop space, garden storage and an additional utility area. A gate from the rear of the property gives access to/from the street.
