Hastings and Co - Borders Property and Legal Agent Valuation of this property is £249,000
Where period charm meets impeccable style, 1 Balnakiel House is a striking Victorian home with a truly stunning interior. This ground floor property sets the bar high for an enviable home in the Scottish Borders; with a convenient central location, the luxurious three bedroom property is set all on one level and being nestled just off the edge of the town, the tucked away spot is sheltered with private mature grounds, shared between the four apartments of the house, and framing the magnificent period home.
A private gravelled drive extends to a generous parking area, with the main entrance opening to a beautiful traditional tiled vestibule with original panelling and cornicing, and an elegant sweeping stair to the far end - setting an impressive tone, continuous throughout the apartment.
With an entertaining lounge at its heart, this masterclass in marrying old with new is simply divine – with the incredible proportions and high ceilings creating the perfect backdrop for the interior inspiration. Complete with ornate cornicing and a beautiful feature fireplace, parquet flooring and cool hues are contrasted with bright soft furnishings and art work, with a charming dining area in the deep bay window, with plenty of space for lounge furnishings. An adjoining home office would also lend itself as a playroom or even guest bedroom, with a large window and working shutters. The kitchen is a successful fusion of a contemporary industrial feel with stainless steel finishes, complementing with traditional stone flooring, a walk-in pantry cupboard and space for dining. A luxurious master suite provides both an ensuite shower room and walk-in dressing area, with a further double bedroom, a child’s bedrooms or further study and a stylish family bathroom.
Suiting a range of buyers, 1 Balnakiel makes for a lavish pad for a professional couple with rail access to Edinburgh close by and ideal home working options. It would also suit families or those looking to downsize but still needing space to host relatives and friends being the perfect balance between country aspect and modern requirement.
