House For Sale £895,000
A modern-day mansion house extending to a floor area of approximately 427m², sitting within extensive garden grounds of approx. 0.94 acre, almost encircled by the golf course on the very edge of this popular town. Completed in 2003, with the date proudly showcased in the portico and pillar style main entrance, the property still belongs to the couple who designed and built it. This substantial house reflects both the artistic and professional skills of the owners; with one having a background in surveying and the other being a contemporary artist. The practical side of the surveyor shines through with renewables in the form of solar pv panels with associated FITs, underfloor heating throughout, pressurised plumbing systems to accommodate the 5 bathrooms and the symmetry that makes this house aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The creative side of the artist sneaks in with walls adorned with this renowned artist's work and further pieces from his collection displayed around their home and garden, as well as the aptly named 2-bedroom self-contained annexe; The Artist's House. The property is immaculately presented, is extremely spacious with the grand entrance and its curved walls and elegant timber bifurcated staircase which opens out each way onto the large first floor landing. The house itself flows effortlessly with large rooms on the ground floor interlinking around from the kitchen to the grand entrance hall and is immaculately presented in clean, neutral décor. The first-floor lounge has patio doors leading onto the semi-circular balcony with views to the rear garden and towards the golf course. The attic has been completed as a studio with 2 sets of 4-combination style velux windows currently accessed via a ladder but could be converted to further living space (subject to relevant permissions). The annexe can be accessed from the main entrance but has its own side door independently from the house, ideal for renting out as a holiday let to create an income or for privacy for guests. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the standard of the finishes and the space this property has to offer as well as further potential.
Location
Hardens Hall is situated on the western outskirts of Duns, adjacent to the golf course and offers a tranquil and rural setting, whilst still being within the town and all its amenities. The vibrant and picturesque town of Duns offers all the facilities in close proximity.

The property is within comfortable walking distance of these desirable facilities. Duns has a good selection of shops, restaurants and a great variety of recreational facilities, including a golf course, swimming pool, rugby and football clubs, bowling green, tennis courts, gym and children's play centre.
