The Coach House, Murray Crescent, Duns, TD11

A detached period home in the heart of Duns, with beautifully upgraded interiors and a truly charming private garden, The Coach House offers a rare blend of character, comfort and tranquillity

The Coach House - Set in the heart of Duns, close to a wide range of shops and amenities, The Coach House is a charming detached period home dating from the early 1900s, offering an unusually appealing combination of character, privacy and contemporary living.

Filled with personality and period charm, the property combines its original character effortlessly with tasteful, contemporary interiors, creating a beautifully finished home that is both stylish and immediately welcoming.

In recent years, the property has been comprehensively modernised, with the upgrades including an impressive conversion of the former garage to create a showcase kitchen diner, complete with the original coach house archway window. Filled with natural light, this is a wonderfully sociable space, perfectly suited to family life and entertaining, while the adjoining utility room and additional cloakroom adds further practicality.

The ground floor continues with a well-proportioned lounge overlooking the gardens beyond. The arrangement of the living spaces creates a natural flow between the house and garden, bringing an unusually peaceful connection to the outdoors in the very heart of town.

The upper floor has also been thoughtfully reconfigured to make excellent use of the space, with three light-filled bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, enjoying a lovely outlook over the gardens together with the benefit of a walk-in wardrobe. A spacious landing provides a versatile additional area, ideal as an office space for working from home, while the bathroom and separate shower room provide excellent facilities for both family life and visiting guests.

It is rare for such a convenient central location to offer the level of privacy and tranquillity found at The Coach House. Outside there is as a delightful octagonal summer house and a sun trap patio in the south facing garden. There are apple, fig  and hazelnut trees; blackcurrants, raspberry's ,and gooseberry bushes as well as many attractive flowering shrubs and raised beds including  a szechuan pepper tree. The charming, well-stocked and established cottage-style gardens are completely private, tucked away behind an attractive stone wall boundary. With a natural flow from the principal living spaces into the garden, this is a wonderfully secluded oasis in the centre of Duns — a particularly special feature of the property.

Completing the property is private off-street parking, with the driveway providing space for two vehicles, together with the added convenience of an EV charging point.
