The Croft and Croft CottageChambers Terrace, Peebles, EH45 9DZ

The Croft is an attractive stone built home situated in an elevated plot overlooking Peebles. The house was built in 1892 and has accommodation over two levels and a large floored attic and second floor. This top level could be converted to form additional accommodation subject to local authority consent. There are fine reception rooms on the ground floor with period features such as sash and case windows, decorative cornicing and high ceilings. The front door is on the north side of the house and up a few steps is a vestibule which opens into the spacious hallway. There are three reception rooms on the ground floor as well as a dining kitchen with AGA and adjacent utility room. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a cloakroom, situated off the main hallway.

A wide staircase rises from the main hallway to a generous landing on the first floor. Here there are four spacious double bedrooms with views over various parts of the garden. A nursery or dressing room links two of the bedrooms and there is a family bathroom also situated off the landing. The views from the north facing rooms over the town are superb.

From the main landing is a second staircase that leads up to the attic which is fully floored and has windows on three sides.

Croft Cottage
Croft Cottage is situated on the west side of the building and is entered through its own front door. On the ground floor there is a kitchen and sitting room and upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside is a small area of private garden. In recent years the property has been let, providing the owners of The Croft with an income.

Gardens
The principal garden at The Croft is situated on the south side of the house and is mainly laid to an expanse of lawn which captures the sun for much of the day. Closer to the house is a large paved terrace where outdoor dining can be enjoyed during the warmer months. The garden is interspersed with a variety of colourful plants and shrubs.

The driveway from Chambers Terrace flanks the garden and leads down to a parking area by the front door, where there is also a covered car port. Half way down the driveway is a spacious garage which can be used for garden machinery, cars and bikes etc.

To the north of the house is a large paddock of about 0.45 acres. It can be accessed from a gate by the front door but also from the lane which runs to the east of the house. The paddock could be used for a variety of things such as additional gardens or keeping of animals. A planning application has been submitted for a dwelling on this piece of land. An approval has not yet been granted. This plot is included within the sale and buyers are requested to enter into a 20 year clawback agreement.
