THE BSPC PROPERTY GUIDE / FEATURE PROPERTY
Location-wise, this deceptively spacious Built in 1985, Taigh Mor translated from Gaelic means ‘big house’, which is entirely appropriate. From the outside, it’s hard to believe that this detached property’s accommodation is spread over four levels. But it also ticks a few more boxes besides, location being the top one. Situated within the sought after village of Lilliesleaf, approximately seven miles in different directions to Melrose, Selkirk, Hawick and St Boswells, this family -orientated home’s position affords beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and nearby lochan and puts it conveniently within walking distance of the village’s primary school, church, village hall, two pubs, 11-hole golf course, and a very popular gallery/coffee shop called The Jammy Coo. This home has an internal floor area of more than 1,500 sqaure feet, a beautifully presented interior – and a quirky four-floor layout.
Accessed by a charming enclosed side porch that leads into the hall proper, the ground floor accommodation includes a cloakroom, good-sized open-plan living/dining room with sliding patio doors to the front garden, and adjoining breakfasting kitchen, which is fitted on three sides with attractive wood units and incorporates a breakfast bar for casual meals - the slot-in cooker and fridge are included.
A key attraction here is the kitchen sink, which is perfectly positioned under a window that frames a stunning view across the front garden to a picturesque lochan. A staircase at the end of the hall beside the kitchen leads to a lower ground floor, which has an integral single garage and utility/laundry room – washing machine included in the sale. Lower still, there is there is also a useful cellar space.
