Inside ‘stylish’ Borders home with idyllic garden just out of Edinburgh for sale
A lovely Scottish family home set amidst breathtaking Borders scenery has just hit the market.
Mulberry House is a picturesque four-bedroom property in a scenic rural location on the edge of the peaceful village of Heriot. It is currently available to buy for offers over £650,000.
Built in 2006, the property is beautifully light and modern. According to the Galbraith listing, it was designed with style and space in mind.
Stepping inside, Mulberry House includes three fabulous rooms and a spacious kitchen-slash-breakfast room with doors that open out onto a gorgeous decked terrace. The sitting room also opens on to the garden terrace, while a useful utility room and a toilet complete the ground-floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the spacious first-floor landing easily has enough space to accommodate a home office. Meanwhile, the four bedrooms all benefit from sweeping views out over the countryside, while two of them also have en-suite shower rooms.
Moving outside, Mulberry House’s spacious garden is laid out mostly to lawn, while there is also a fantastic paved terrace to sit out on. One of the most unique features of the property is its detached timber shed that is currently being used as a bar.
Elsewhere, there is an area on the gentle south-facing slope at the edge of the garden to grow vegetables. All in all, the sheltered and private grounds extend to just under three acres.
Polly Cregan of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, commented: “Mulberry House enjoys the benefits of the Borders countryside whilst being within comfortable commuting distance of Edinburgh.
“The house has been designed with both style and space in mind, offering very well-presented and spacious accommodation that is both practical and adaptable. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a family home with good equestrian facilities in this attractive setting, yet only 16 miles from Edinburgh. We expect a good deal of interest.”
