Occupying an elevated position on a sizeable plot (approx. 1.6 acres), the property is approached through electric wooden gates over a gravelled driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to the detached double garage/ workshop. The garden, a particular highlight of this property, features areas of level and sweeping lawn, beautifully landscaped colourful flower beds, the whole interspersed with mature, specimen trees and numerous seating areas, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. There is a recently added poly tunnel and elevated octagonal wooden studio/office room with moss roof, large windows and panoramic views. A small wicket gate at the foot of the garden opens onto a path winding down to and along the Meikleburn, a truly magical ethereal and private world on the banks of a river surrounded by nature. This leads to the Meiklehut, a magnificent rustic retreat, lovingly crafted by hand, surrounded by a sea of bluebells, suitable for a variety of uses.
