The Limes, Home Farm Kerse, Lesmahagow

Set against a backdrop of mature trees, with attractive views across neighbouring countryside, The Limes is a striking new home offering generous proportions and carefully considered finishes. Its distinctive exterior combines a stone-faced central gable with crisp white render and anthracite detailing, creating an inviting first impression.

The approach is a memorable introduction to the property, along an avenue of mature lime trees that creates a picturesque arrival. Their leafy canopy and changing seasonal colours set the scene for the home’s attractive countryside surroundings.

Inside, a spacious reception hallway introduces the home’s bright, neutral interiors, with timber-effect LVT flooring providing continuity throughout the accommodation. The staircase features a glass balustrade and a tall window that draws natural light into the hall and upper landing.

The separate living room provides a comfortable retreat, with ample space for substantial seating and a pleasant outlook towards the surrounding greenery. Its position away from the kitchen offers a welcome choice of spaces for relaxing and entertaining.

At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen and dining room. Shaker-style cabinetry provides extensive storage, complemented by a large central island with a marble worktop, fluted timber detailing and breakfast-bar seating. An inset hob and ceiling-mounted extractor keep the room’s sightlines open, while premium integrated appliances, including a wine fridge and built-in coffee machine, complete the specification.

A concealed Butler’s pantry breakfast station keeps everyday essentials close to hand, while a cocktail bar with glass shelving adds a distinctive touch for entertaining. Beyond the island, there is generous space for a dining table and occasional seating, with French doors connecting the room to the outside and framing views across the neighbouring fields.

The separate bootility continues the quality of finish, combining fitted cabinetry, a marble worktop, sink and premium laundry appliances. A fitted bench and coat-storage area provide a practical place for outdoor clothing and footwear, with an external door adding everyday convenience.

Three ground-floor bedrooms offer flexibility for family life, visiting guests or working from home. They are served by a beautifully appointed main bathroom, where a freestanding bath set on a raised platform creates a striking centrepiece. A separate walk-in rainfall shower, illuminated recessed shelving, contemporary vanity unit and carefully coordinated finishes give the room a luxurious feel.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom forms a spacious retreat, with French doors opening to a Juliet balcony overlooking the countryside. A dedicated dressing room with fitted wardrobes leads through to an en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower. The second first-floor bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

The specification also includes underfloor heating served by an air source heat pump, bringing modern heating technology to this individual self-build home.

Outside, an extensive gravelled area provides ample off-street parking, while paved pathways lead around the property. The enclosed lawned garden offers space for outdoor dining, play and relaxation, complemented by the mature woodland backdrop. Anthracite PVC windows, fascias and soffits complete the coordinated exterior, with soffit mood lighting adding atmosphere after dark.

With its flexible five-bedroom layout, standout kitchen and luxurious principal suite, The Limes offers an appealing combination of contemporary comfort and country surroundings.
