13, Park Avenue, Walkerburn, EH43 6AN

Tucked discreetly away from the main thoroughfare of the village, Minchview is a particularly special period home, offering a rare combination of privacy, beautifully presented accommodation and an exceptional mature garden.

Dating from 1861, the house has evolved over the years, with the original stables converted and sympathetic extensions added, creating a home full of character and charm while providing excellent space for modern family life.

Approached through the enclosed walled garden, the property immediately reveals its appeal.

A mature wisteria frames the front of the house, while the beautifully planted garden creates a wonderfully private and welcoming setting.

The traditional vestibule opens into a welcoming reception hall, from which the principal rooms lead off.

The ground floor accommodation is particularly versatile, including a useful bedroom with an adjacent bathroom, making it equally suited to family living, guests or those seeking single-level accommodation.

The reception and entertaining spaces are warm and inviting, with character features including large, shuttered windows, attractive stoves and an abundance of natural light.

A comfortable snug and dining room provide excellent spaces for relaxing and entertaining, while the generous breakfasting kitchen has a stylish country-house feel.

Well-appointed and practical, the kitchen also provides direct external and a useful pantry cupboard.

To the front of the house, the more formal sitting room enjoys attractive feature windows and a further stove, creating a cosy and elegant principal reception space.

Beyond this, a superb sunroom provides an additional room to enjoy throughout the seasons, with a wonderfully private outlook across the colourful landscaped gardens.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two generous double bedrooms, both enjoying the character and proportions associated with the period of the property.

A contemporary shower room completes the first-floor accommodation. The garden is undoubtedly one of Minchview's outstanding features.

Mature and full of colour and interest, it includes established perennial borders, a vegetable garden, raised beds and fruit trees, together with numerous secluded spots in which to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

The enclosed nature of the garden provides a wonderful degree of privacy and creates a tranquil setting rarely found within the village.

Across the road, the property also benefits from its own garage, providing valuable additional parking, storage or workshop space.
