10 Laidlaw Avenue, Swinton, Duns

Completed in 2021 by the highly regarded developers Hudson HIrsel who are renowned for their excellent design and build quality, 10 Laidlaw Avenue is an executive, one off detached bungalow. A number of high end upgrades were implemented at the build stage to make this a truly superb property, which has only ever been used as an occasional second home so has had very little use. Occupying a sizeable, partially walled plot, the property offers an abundance of space both inside and out with a choice of reception rooms and all three bedrooms having their own en-suite facilities. Cleverly, the design has also allowed for a lovely connection between the interior and exterior of the bungalow with French doors to the gardens from the family dining kitchen, family/garden room as well as the master bedroom suite. The modern nature of the property provides a low maintenance, easy to run home with further economic benefits including photovoltaic panels on the south facing roof elevation and central heating via an air source heat pump, both of which help to contribute to the very impressive A rating for energy efficiency.

Laidlaw Avenue is a small and exclusive development on the edge of this traditional Berwickshire Village. The surrounding properties are a combination of detached houses and bungalows making this a peaceful and private setting. The village primary school is just around the corner whilst the village itself enjoys easy connections to other neighbouring towns and villages

Accommodation

A section of double height ceiling in the reception hall with velux windows is a really lovely design feature allowing lots of natural light into the hall which in turn provides a lovely warm welcome. The selection of reception rooms allows for lots of flexibility and versatility; the lounge is a cosy well proportioned room with double windows. From here sliding internal doors open to the impressive family/garden room; a fantastic space with windows on all sides and French doors connecting directly to the gardens. For those who like to entertain, the family dining kitchen is the perfect space; with lots of room for socialising the kitchen was upgraded to what is an extremely stylish room with a particularly high quality fully fitted kitchen complete with Quartz style worktops. The dining area also has room for informal lounging if desired, and, as with the garden room, connects via French doors to the gardens. Adjoining the kitchen Is the well equipped utility room; fitted to match the kitchen from here there is external access and an internal door to/from the garage.

Lying peacefully to the far end of the bungalow, the master bedroom suite is a tranquil space comprising of a large double bedroom, dressing room and extremely smart en-suite shower room complete with double shower cubicle, tasteful wall tiles and complimentary tiled flooring. The French doors to the gardens are a really nice touch and one rarely seen in a bedroom. Bedroom two with built in wardrobes benefits from a four piece en-suite bathroom complete with Jacuzzi bath and separate shower whilst the third bedroom has a jack and jill bathroom, finished in similar style, which can also be accessed from the reception hall. Again this room has built in wardrobes and enjoys an open aspect over the entrance to the property. The current vendors tweaked the internal layout slightly to allow for a large internal store room; lying off the hallway opposite the front door this is a really useful space offering lots of storage but could also be fitted out for use as a home office if preferred.

External

The property occupies a sizeable plot with stone wall boundary to the rear and timber fencing to either side. The gardens have been neatly laid to lawn with a large paved patio accessed directly from the dining kitchen and family/garden room. The outside areas are a fairly blank canvas and could offer opportunities for a gardening enthusiast to landscape further. Equally for families, the high levels of privacy and fully secure boundary provides a great environment for young children. To the front of the property the private gravelled drive offers space for a number of vehicles and leads to the integral double garage with electric vehicular doors.
