Mill Dowrie
The property has a wonderfully open feel, with glass and wood offering the perfect contrast between light, natural living and relaxed, cosy comfort.
The open plan aspect is a versatile space providing plenty of flexibility for socialising or relaxation. Vast feature windows have dramatic impact looking across miles of open Borders countryside offering both privacy and plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling or simply leisurely wanders in the great outdoors.
The large double sided wood burner positioned in the centre of the room helps to separate and define the space, but with a layout designed to suit a modern lifestyle where guests can spend some together-time or take a little time-out.
The sitting room with deep comfortable sofas and floor to ceiling window is designed to flood the living space with light, with french doors leading out to the fully enclosed lawned garden for a leisurely summer brunch on the patio, with plenty of open play space for children! The dining area seats up to 10 and the cooks in the party will feel right at home in the spacious well appointed kitchen with its large Rangemaster oven.
On the ground floor, there is a ground floor bedroom with king size bed and adjacent shower room which may suit guests with mobility restrictions, as well as a fully equipped laundry room and boot room.
Upstairs leads to a spacious landing with two well appointed double bedrooms with king sized beds (one en-suite with Juliet balcony); along with a twin bedroom with adjacent family bathroom; and a large sunny master bedroom where you will awake to fantastic panoramic views across rolling Border farmland to the Cheviot Hills beyond.
