31 Castle Street, Duns

Having very recently undergone an extensive programme of renovation and upgrading, 31 Castle Street is an immaculately presented C Listed period property which offers well-proportioned accommodation over three floors. Presented in sleek contemporary style throughout with modern fixtures & fittings, the well considered interior styling marries perfectly with the more traditional aspects of the building such as the sash windows and impressive sweeping staircase within the turret style extension to the rear of the property. Perfectly laid out for modern family living, the ground floor offers two public rooms; the living room with a direct connection to the gardens and the family dining kitchen offering a super open plan, sociable space for gatherings or get-togethers. This balances well with the bedroom accommodation which offers four double rooms, plus a media room on the top floor and a luxurious family bathroom. Finally the highly private rear garden is a real sun trap; a safe environment for families and ideal for BBQ’s and summer dining.

Accommodation Summary

Lounge, Family Dining Kitchen, Four Double Bedrooms, Bathroom and Media Room.

Accommodation

Positioned to either side of the entrance, both the lounge and dining kitchen span from the front to the rear of the property, each boasting a dual aspect. The lounge features French doors which connect directly to the rear garden, whilst the family dining kitchen is a particularly social space; ample room for family dining and informal lounging plus a tastefully fitted modern kitchen at the rear. The turret style extension to the rear of the building hosts the impressive sweeping staircase with useful cloakroom and external door to the garden at the foot.

Three of the four bedrooms are located at first floor level; the main room is a particularly large room with great built in storage, bedroom two enjoys a garden aspect to the rear and bedroom three overlooks the street scape at the front. Off the rear landing is the family bathroom; impressively fitted with a four piece suite including a large corner shower plus a free standing bath.

A further internal staircase extends to the second floor; bedroom four has a lovely front facing dormer window which affords a roof top view towards the farmland surrounding Duns whilst the media room is an internal space with timber cladding – perfect for movies or perhaps a teenage den.

External

The rear garden enjoys fantastic privacy and is a real sun trap; an area of hard standing extends around the rear of the building with steps and stone dyke wall giving access to a raised lawn area. The boundaries are nicely established with hedging and mature shrubs.
