High quality country house in a tranquil, secluded rural location with garaging, gardens, grassland and tree plantations.
Description
Burnside of Kirkton Barns is a bright and spacious family home. Originally a country cottage, it was significantly extended into a modern, contemporary house. It is decorated to a high standard and has new bath and shower rooms throughout. A new Nolte kitchen was installed at the end of July 2021.
The house has full height windows and French doors along the south elevation meaning that it is flooded with natural daylight. All the rooms are large.
Accommodation
The drawing room has sweeping views down to the burn, and a raised, custom built fireplace with marble seating. There are surround sound connections and glazed doors to the terrace in front. Sliding glazed doors connect to the formal dining room which has a study off.
There is a stunning, semi open plan dining kitchen opening to the formal dining room with garden views to both rooms. The newly renovated utility room lies adjacent to the kitchen and also has garden views.
The bedroom accommodation is in two separate wings.
In the east wing are two large bedrooms. The front bedroom has glazed doors to the terrace and gardens, extensive fitted wardrobes and its own shower room. There is a contemporary bathroom with freestanding bath and separate power shower.
The west wing, off the entrance hall, is two storey. The ground floor comprises two further large bedrooms, each with their own en suite shower room. On the first floor are two large, long bedrooms which share an elegant shower room.
The front bedroom (used as the principal bedroom) has a balcony, garden views and a door connecting to a substantial loft. There is a wall mounted solar panel meter.
Garage
The garage is purpose built, double height and designed to blend unobtrusively into its rural surroundings. It measures 21.6m x 11.6m (255 sq m) and was specifically customised internally to provide parking for up to 14 cars at ground level. It has a suspended ceiling, fully tiled floor, and the walls have been insulated and lined. There is power, light, water and heating.
There are two large electric roller doors and facilities for a drive-in cinema.

Grounds

The house is set to the west of the property with the pavier driveway leading to the extensive parking area between the house and the garage.
There is a raised lawn with flower beds and a summer house. To the side of the house is a high hedge with wooden stores and a greenhouse. There are terraces along the front of the house with lawns below, interspaced with shrubs and trees.
Beyond the garage is parkland which is currently mown but would be equally suitable for grazing.
An enclosed, organic vegetable garden has been created, this area is approximately 23 m2. The burn forms the southern boundary of the property. Three woodland plantations have been created with a variety of native trees. There is both deer and rabbit fencing.
