Leet House, Swinton Mill, Coldstream

Occupying a large private plot with gardens grounds extending on all sides, Leet House is an incredibly deceptive detached property. Built in 2008, the internal layout offers a great degree of flexibility depending on a buyers requirements including the option of up to five bedrooms one of which is on ground floor level plus four bathroom/shower room facilities – a great prospect for those seeking a modern family home which can easily adapt to the ever changing demands of family life. Whilst modern in its style of construction, the property has been cleverly designed to incorporate some more traditional features such as the external stone work, arched entrance and dormer windows, all of which help to create more of a ‘cottage’ appearance. The position of the property is also very appealing; lying almost mid-way between Duns & Coldstream, the property commands a lovely rural setting with open views yet remains within easy reach of the surrounding towns and villages.

Accommodation Summary

Ground Floor - Entrance Vestibule, Reception Hall, Large Lounge, Family Dining Kitchen, Utility Room, Family Room/Bedroom Five, Shower Room.
First Floor – Four Double Bedrooms – Two with En-Suite Facilities and Family Bathroom

Accommodation

The entrance vestibule is a very useful space with excellent built in storage and double doors opening to the welcoming reception hall. Further storage by way of a walk in store is provided off the hall. Commanding superb open views and a dual aspect, the lounge is a particularly spacious room; flooded with natural light and featuring French doors which give a lovely connection to the garden. Whilst offering large proportions this room still retains a lovely cosy feel to it, in part due to the open coal fire to one wall. Positioned to the front, the family dining kitchen enjoys outlooks over the entrance drive and gardens on two sides. A lovely sociable space with ample room for family dining as well as informal lounging if desired. Fitted with a good range of wall and base units ensuring a good amount of worktop space. The adjoining utility room is a great facility with space and plumbing for additional appliances plus an external door to the gardens. The fifth bedroom is ideal for those requiring a ground floor bedroom; this room has a peaceful aspect over the rear garden and double built in wardrobes but would be equally well suited as a family room or home office. Usefully there is also a shower room on the ground floor; nicely fitted with a white suite and tiled walls.

The upper floor hosts four spacious double bedrooms; two of which are en-suite and lie peacefully towards the rear of the property with open outlooks to the north and west. Both have very good built in storage with one boasting an en-suite shower room and the other an en-suite bathroom. Bedrooms three and four are light and airy rooms to the front of the building, again each enjoying pleasant outlooks and providing ample room for free standing furniture. The family bathroom is freshly presented with the benefit of a four piece suite including bath and separate shower cubicle.

External

The property sits centrally within the large plot and as such enjoys garden grounds on all sides. Accessed via a private gated drive which provides ample parking and leads to the adjoining garage. The gardens are largely laid to lawn and have been thoughtfully landscaped to incorporate very well stocked beds and borders which ensure colour and interest all year round. The front of the property benefits from established boundaries which retain good levels of privacy whilst the areas to the side and rear enjoy a more open aspect which makes the most of the fabulous views.

Garage

The garage adjoins the property to the side with up and over vehicular door and pedestrian door to the gardens at the rear. The private driveway provides an expanse of parking
