This creatively conceived three-bedroom home occupies a position of unspoilt beauty in the rural Scottish Borders. Its architectural design is contextually driven, defined externally by larch cladding, exposed structural steel and a slate roof. A series of flowing living spaces and cosy retreats unfold over almost 3,000 sq ft within the L-shaped plan. Verandas and a sheltered balcony form an integral part of this house, along with extensive grounds, which are home to two immense workshops, a sauna and a polytunnel. The hub towns of Hawick and Jedburgh are within 20 miles, and the city of Carlisle lies around 30 miles south-west.
