BSPC FEATURE PROPERTY
Set in idyllic woodland grounds, Endwood is a Standing in just over an acre of beautiful garden grounds close to the hillside village of Chirnside in Berwickshire, nine miles west of Berwick upon Tweed and seven miles east of Duns, Endwood is such an attractive looking Tudor-style house it could grace the cover of any chocolate box. And its aesthetic appeal is not merely confined to the outside. Built in 1994, the interior of this delightful family home oozes charm and character and is further enhanced by neutral decoration, natural wood finishes and neutral carpeting, all of which combine to give visual continuity and enhance the feeling of light and space. The L-shaped layout is also more spacious than it appears, comprising entrance hall with galleried landing, cloakroom, 22ft square family room where the main feature is a stunning 16ft wide brick-built inglenook fireplace with a tiled hearth and open fire.
The more formal drawing room has a multi-fuel stove and French doors to the gardens, and completing the ground floor accommodation is a study, beautifully fitted kitchen with an archway opening into an informal breakfast/dining area, utility/laundry room, and a walk -in box-room that houses a user-friendly central vacuum system. On the upper level, Endwood has five bedrooms – the largest of which has windows all along one wall that make the most of views over the gardens and surrounding countryside, two walk-in wardrobes, and a spacious and beautifully finished en suite with a bath and wet-room-style shower.
Another double bedroom has built-in wardrobes – as does the fifth, single-size bedroom, while the family bathroom has a corner bath with overhead shower and attractive tiled splashbacks. There are notable features at almost every turn – and beams, lots of aged looking wooden beams and supports and period-style wood finishes. The low, steeply pitched roof creates combed ceilings and dormer recesses, which gives the upstairs rooms a cottagey feel, while the interior decoration heightens the overall effect.
