6 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

West Langlands is a beautiful Grade C listed Victorian semi-detached dwelling house situated in an elevated position affording simply stunning views over the Borders town of Hawick and the rolling countryside beyond.  A short walk to the award winning Wilton Lodge Park, this imposing mansion house has been sympathetically modernised over the years and retains an abundance of charm and period details throughout.  Set in grounds of around 1.5 acres, the mature south facing garden offers an array of mature trees and plants with a raised vegetable garden, lawn area, seating areas and a summer house.



Built in the 1860s and steeped in local history, the internal accommodation is arranged over three floors. Entered on the ground floor level via the original main entrance is the striking hallway with its ornate carvings and stunning stained glass window which floods the hallway with natural light.  Both the magnificent Drawing Room and Dining Room must be seen to fully appreciate, both benefitting from bay windows.  These two marvellous rooms have various desirable art deco influences by way of cornicing, panelling and intricate detailing and/or carvings and there is a cosy open fire which is a pleasing feature in the Drawing Room and a gas fire in the Dining Room.  Located to the rear of the property is the utility room with door out to the rear garden and the kitchen which is open plan to the sun room (which was added on around 1998.) The kitchen is mainly served by a range of wooden floor and wall units and has the benefit of an Aga and opens up to the circular sun room which offers a pleasant space for casual dining whilst overlooking the garden grounds.



Located on the first floor are the Sitting Room, Master Bedroom with Ensuite and the Study (or additional bedroom if so desired) The Sitting Room is an equally grand room with bay window offering stunning views over the park and countryside and an inset gas fire.  The luxurious Master Bedroom is decorated in a shade of deep red and provides access to the en suite bathroom with three piece suite of bath, wash hand basin and WC and has original art deco tiling and newly laid carpet flooring.  Also situated on this floor is the study which makes for a useful library at present with an abundance of built in shelving and a lovely open view to the front.



The remainder of the accommodation is situated on the second floor.  There are four bedrooms on this level, all tastefully decorated with one of the double rooms benefitting from a well appointed three piece shower room.  There is also a separate additional shower room with WC, wash hand basin and shower enclosure with a chrome shower run off the boiler.



For those looking for charming and secluded gardens grounds, then West Langlands really does fit the bill.  It is accessed via a shared  driveway from the lodge house and sits in ground extending to approximately 1.5 acres.  All the garden ground to the left of the house is exclusively owned by West Langlands.  The gardens are mostly laid to lawn and have an abundance of mature trees and shrubs offering a great deal of privacy.  There is a Grade C listed summerhouse which was built in the 1920s for Lady Henderson to sunbathe in.  Where there once was a sunken rose garden is now a lovely area of lawn which has hosted weddings and parties and there is also a useful vegetable patch in addition to a greenhouse and timber shed.
