Description
The Glebe House is a charming 18th century Georgian former manse set with wrap around private grounds, situated in the peaceful hamlet of Legerwood, halfway between Lauder and Earlston, just off the A68 approximately 33 miles south of Edinburgh. Providing flexible living over three floors, the property boasts period features throughout, a wide range of charming and practical green spaces and far-reaching views over the Berwickshire countryside.
The property sits within expansive garden grounds of approx. 1 acre, including a formal lawn ideal for outdoor entertaining, a traditional walled garden and orchard, a greenhouse and a well-placed seating terrace, a perfect spot for enjoying the sunshine. A gravelled area to the front and side of the property provides ample parking and includes generous steading of stone outbuildings around a courtyard.
The Glebe House opens from a welcoming vestibule into the reception hallway providing access into two dual aspect south facing reception rooms, a family room and a spacious fitted kitchen with dining area. Completing the ground floor are a utility room, larder and a WC/cloakroom. The first-floor houses two generous double bedrooms each with ensuite bathroom, a further two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC. The second floor contains another two double bedrooms/studies and large attic storage area.
