Ladhopemuir is a stunning ECO home set within a picturesque countryside setting just 5 miles from the town of Galashiels - a short ten minute drive. This wonderful property has been thoroughly renovated from top to bottom by the current owners to create a truly stunning home with outstanding views over the lush Borders countryside - furthermore the property is set to have zero energy bills in its first full year of operation since the renovation.

 

Entered from the vestibule into the central hallway the property boasts a wonderful light-filled sitting room with wood-burning stove, three-metre-wide picture window and functional bi-fold doors leading into the dining kitchen. The sleek modern kitchen offers an array of cabinetry, solid oak worktops, and integrated NEFF appliances – there is also a generous utility room set just off of the kitchen.

 

The principal bedroom benefits from a well-appointed en-suite shower room and capacious built-in bespoke wardrobes. There are two further double bedrooms again with built in bespoke wardrobes which share the main bathroom with double walk-in shower. Both bathrooms offer heated towel rails and have built-in charge points for toothbrushes and shavers discreetly hidden in the cabinetry,


Externally the property sits in grounds extending to just shy of an acre. There is a large, attached garage housing the 20 kWh and 10 kWh batteries supplying the entire property with power, heating and hot water. The 20 kWh battery also provides power back-up via an Emergency Power Supply system supplying sockets in every room (except Kitchen) with electricity. On the other side of the garden sits a generous purpose built shed with power and ample storage space for an array of uses.

 

Having been extensively renovated the property boasts an exceptional "A" energy performance rating, bolstered by the Air Source Heat pump, 12 kW solar panels, this all ties together to make Ladhopemuir a zero cost home to run. 


The gardens are mostly laid to lawn with deep borders and a large rear patio – the gardens provide an exciting opportunity for any incoming purchaser to start afresh and make the external space entirely in their vision.
