Wonderful country house set within 11 acres of mature private grounds close to Gifford
Inglisfield is set in an incredibly private and quiet setting just outside Gifford. The house is approached by its own driveway which is flanked by lawns and mature shrubs leading up to the main entrance. The front door to Inglisfield is set within a porch and opens up into a wonderful reception hallway which features a cloakroom, butler's pantry and has French doors to the garden. The drawing room is a superb south facing double aspect room with fireplace to one end and doors to the garden. Also situated off the main hallway is a cosy sitting room and a large dining room with door to the hallway by the kitchen. The large kitchen has an informal dining area and is fitted with a range of base units and a four oven Aga. A family room also sits next to the kitchen and is a comfortable space with views over the garden. To the back of the house are a range of store rooms along with a boot room adjacent to the back door. In addition there is a home office and hobby room as well as a back stair. The ground floor accommodation is completed with an en suite bedroom, pantry, utility room and WC by the back door.
The bedroom accommodation at first floor is extensive and well laid out. The principal bedroom overlooks the gardens and could be linked up with the adjacent bedroom (4) and bathroom to create a large principal suite with dressing room. There are four more bedrooms in the main part of the house along with two bathrooms. Towards the rear of the property are a further four bedrooms and two bath / shower rooms. The back of the house could be utilised independently, as it has its own staircase and door to the rear of the house.
The grounds which surround Inglisfield are well-kept and private. On the south side of the house is a generous patio and two terraces with steps which lead to the lower lawn. Below this are mature trees, an orchard and the burn runs along much of the southern boundary which is a haven for wildlife. A further lawn sits to the north. Beyond the formal gardens are a range of paddocks which have been used for grazing. The paddocks have been split up into smaller paddocks and there are four field shelters. Running along the northern boundary is a gallop stretch which is about a third of a kilometre long. The Beugh Burn runs through the garden and three wooden bridges links the land on the far side. A path, by the burn, connects to the gallop so you can enjoy a beautiful walk around the property.
