Well presented country house with wonderful countryside views and generous plot of 3.6 acres.
Rowanbank is a welcoming country home thoughtfully extended and remodelled in recent years to create a generous, light-filled accommodation ideally suited to family & multi-generational living.
While the interiors are largely contemporary, featuring modern appliances, underfloor heating on the ground floor and high-quality finishes, the house retains a strong sense of character, with oak doors throughout and original stonework and flooring in key rooms.
The main entrance opens into a porch and central hallway, providing access to the principal living spaces and staircase with a storage cupboard and ground floor WC. The heart of the home is the impressive L-shaped open-plan Garden Room which serves as a kitchen and dining area, finished to a high standard with a comprehensive range of fitted units and integrated appliances, including ESSE range cooker with four ovens, two cast iron hotplates and four electric rings, an American-style Bosch fridge freezer, dish washer, washing machine, dryer. A double Belfast sink and separate single sink complete the space.
The dining area enjoys direct access via double doors to a west-facing terrace, while an ESSE wood-burning stove provides warmth and atmosphere to both the dining space and adjacent rooms. A snug with original open fireplace and flooring leads through to the formal sitting room accessed through a gothic arch with oak door. A spacious double-aspect room houses a turret seating area to sit and look out across far-reaching countryside views while enjoying the warmth of the ESSE wood-burning stove.
Completing the ground floor is a generous bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite shower room, offering flexible accommodation for guests or single-level living.
On the first floor, the open landing area provides space for a home office or reading room and enjoys elevated views towards the River Tweed. The principal bedroom suite is a particular highlight, featuring a turret seating area with panoramic views across the Tweed Valley, a dressing area with built-in wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with bath, separate wet area with shower and Juliette balcony doors opening west. A further double bedroom, with en-suite, completes the accommodation.
