“The gardens had been a huge incentive and what had been impeccably maintained grounds by my great aunt became an idyllic playground for four children, complete with treehouse, cricket and football pitches – and for several years, chickens.”
Wow factor is provided by the superb 17 foot conservatory at the rear of the house, which forms a bright open-plan kitchen/diner/family living area complemented by a practical slate tiled floor.
Redreuth’s interior is a harmonious blend of old and new, with deep skirtings, high ceilings, solid oak flooring, decorative plasterwork, classic fireplaces in two of the four bedrooms as well as the reception rooms – and a neutral colour scheme throughout.
The accommodation is both spacious and adaptable. Off the entrance vestibule and hall, which is enhanced by a feature archway and solid oak flooring, are a cloakroom and sitting room with windows to the front and side and a white fireplace with slate insert and open grate fire.
The dining room (or fifth bedroom) has a sash and case bay window and fireplace with inset gas fire. There is also a rear-facing family room, and a ground floor double bedroom (or further public room) with timber-style panelling, fire surround and French doors to the side garden. A rear hallway leads past a laundry storage cupboard into a bright and open-plan kitchen / diner/conservatory, a stunning additional space and easily the focus of everyday family living.

Upstairs off the half landing, an area dominated by a large feature window, is a modern shower room and a door to a large walk-in attic storage room with power, light and a window. The staircase continues to the first floor landing, where there is a large built-in storage unit – and four bedrooms, master with built-in cupboards and drawers, white-painted timber fire surround and a very attractive en suite bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. There are two further double rooms, one with a cream -painted timber fire surround, the other with a walk-in storage cupboard, while the front-facing single bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe.
Redreuth is surrounded by trees and has mature gardens to the front, side and rear, with patio and seating areas and lawns – truly a lovely setting for all ages but particularly good for children and pets. There is also a timber garage. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac close to the local bowling green and only a five-minute walk to Hawick’s shops and other amenities, this substantial house perfectly fits the bill as a ‘forever’ family home.
