Description

Lying at the entrance of the former Allanbank House in Lauder this Category C listed early 19th Century lodge has been beautifully renovated to create a two-bedroom home that combines period details with contemporary finishes.

A fine example of a classical entrance lodge, its open canted porch, Tuscan columns, and cast-iron railings make a lovely first impression. Inside a welcoming hallway guides you through to a dual-aspect sitting room. Adorned with handsome wooden flooring, built-in shelving, four-panel oak doors and working shutters, it is an elegant space in which to relax and entertain. A bespoke window seat adds further character. Adjacent is an east-facing and generously proportioned principal double bedroom. Tastefully decorated with carpeting, a dado rail, working shutters, and shelving, a highlight is an original cast iron fireplace, a nod of course to the property’s history.

Continuing through, a versatile carpeted south-facing dining room leads seamlessly into a modern and well-appointed kitchen. Featuring white wall and floor units and wood-effect worktops, there is ample space for appliances. Completing the impressive layout is a bright and comfortable west-facing double bedroom and a contemporary shower room.

Externally, the property boasts a private garden with lots of potential. Currently a low-maintenance design of decorative stones, paving, and mature hedging. The property benefits from on-street parking.
