Lower Manorhill House, Selkirk

A country escape styled to perfection, Lower Manorhill House sits in a secluded setting to the edge of town - surrounded by stunning landscaped gardens, rolling countryside and restorative outlooks. The ground level accommodation is presented in perfect homage to its Victorian roots; with immaculately restored features and retained charm blending with a contemporary and country elegant décor beautifully.

Occupying the ground floor and former main entrance, the property encompasses much of the original grandeur and stunning period feel; from parquet flooring to plaster coving and cornicing, working shutters and bay windows – the property is utterly captivating and impressive.

Lower Manorhill hosts a flexible layout, with a traditional tiled vestibule opening to a choice of three main public rooms; hosted by an impressive reception hallway with open fire and stunning wood panelling, a luxuriously appointed lounge with bay window and dual aspect overlooking the garden, and a further relaxed living room connecting to the dining kitchen and fitted with woodburning stove for comfortable evenings. Patio doors extend directly to the garden from both the living room and kitchen –ideal for entertaining and for family life. In addition, the property provides a large utility and laundry room, a study, a substantial basement and a separate hobby or garden room accessed from the kitchen courtyard. In-keeping with the luxurious proportions, a sumptuous master suite is complete with an ensuite shower room and in-built storage, with a second bedroom of king-size dimensions overlooking the garden, a third guest room accessed from the hall and the family bathroom.

The division of these elegant villas is particularly successful, and each enjoys excellent privacy and their own gardens and parking. Lower Manorhill enjoys an exceptionally generous private garden, accessed directly from the property, and including a secret wildlife woodland to explore at the far end. Level, fully enclosed and largely laid to lawn, a sunny patio area leads to an abundant vegetable garden and pergola seating area, with the leafy boundary extending to the woodland beyond. The property also hosts plenty of parking and turning space and a single garage.

This is a home a buyer will fall in love with; from its stunning setting, elegant layout and historical features, this would make a wonderful lifestyle change for those looking to relocate to a country aspect or perhaps those downsizing to accommodation all on one level.
