A modern bungalow near Jedburgh sets the bar high in terms of space, style and setting
Located only a few miles from the Border towns of Jedburgh and Kelso, Number 11 West Nisbet Steading is an exemplary modern bungalow, one of only 17 similarly select homes that make up a small hamlet within a conservation area in Nisbet, a picturesque village hardly changed since it was purpose built in the 19th century to house estate workers. As convenient as it is picturesque – West Nisbet Steading is just three miles from the A68 and easy commutable to Edinburgh and Newcastle in addition to Border towns and the nearest Border Railway station at Tweedbank linking directly into the centre of Edinburgh – this is a rural area close to the River Teviot that offers beautiful countryside around the Ancrum and Teviot Estates, a premier championship golf course at The Roxburghe (voted 5th top inland course in Scotland with 18-hole courses also at Jedburgh and Minto), plus local attractions such as Woodside Nursery and Cafe and the craft workshops at Harestanes Visitor Centre.

styled and finished to an extremely high standard
There is an adjoining utility which provides additional storage, laundry facilities and has an external door to the side of the house. The other two reception rooms – dining room and adjacent lounge – are connected by double doors, which allows both rooms to operate separately or be opened up to create a sizeable area for entertaining, tastefully decorated throughout in neutral shades with natural wood finishes. Occupying a private and peaceful setting and lovely views, the front garden is low maintenance by design and includes a paved courtyard in front of the house adjacent to a graveled driveway with plenty of space for parking and turning and accessing the detached garage and carport.
At the rear, the mature garden backs onto fields and displays a delightful mix of lawn, paved paths, planted borders, rockery, feature pond, decked terrace and sizeable patio for barbecues and outdoor dining. This really is an exceptional family home on all counts – size, style and setting. In immaculate order inside and out and only a few miles from Ancrum primary school, it offers an enviable lifestyle opportunity for families and downsizers alike.
