6 bedroom detached house

Greenloaning is a truly exceptional contemporary home of Canadian design set in approximately 1 acre of beautiful mature, landscaped gardens with electric gates and an extensive gravel driveway with parking for six to eight cars. Planning permission for the erection of a two storey, detached three car garage has lapsed.

Internally the design features soaring ceilings, double height spaces and an extensive south-facing decked terrace with views over the lovely garden to the Borders countryside. The accommodation, extending to about 7,200 square feet is bright and full of light, offers considerable flexibility of use, particularly in relation to the numbers of public rooms, bedrooms and access to the terrace. Finishes throughout are of an exceptionally high quality featuring much walnut and oak hardwood flooring. Of particular note is the advanced lighting installation. A multitude of skirting-level, wall and ceiling LED lighting with controlled 'mood' settings ensures a marvellous evening ambiance.

A geo-thermal heating system ensures low cost comfort throughout the year. Underfloor heating is on the main two levels of the house, with radiators on the ground floor. A more recent addition is the family spa room which adds another dimension to the house.
