Description

Langrigg House is an elegant Georgian country house situated in a particularly stunning part of the Scottish Borders. The property is in good condition throughout and has been well looked after over the years by the current owner. Langrigg House retains many beautiful period features which include working shutters, intricate plaster and cornice work and panelled internal doors and extends to about 3500 sq ft. The house has a bright atmosphere due to its southerly aspect and offers stunning views over the surrounding countryside with the Cheviot Hills beyond.

Langrigg House is approached off a quiet country lane. Large wrought iron gates open to a tarmacadam carriageway driveway and parking area in front of the house, comfortably allowing parking for half a dozen vehicles. The front door offers access into a welcoming reception hallway with the formal public rooms either side. The drawing room offers an abundance of charm and character with a wood burning stove positioned within stone surround and mantle, a pretty bay window, stripped flooring, and wooden panelling. On the other side of the hallway is the dining room which again offers charm and character. To the rear of Langrigg House is more practical, family space with the large country kitchen offering a range of wall and base units. The kitchen is large enough for informal dining and has the family sitting room positioned just off it. The sitting room is a comfortable room with French Doors leading outside to a patio area, ideal for BBQ’s and alfresco dining. Beyond the kitchen is a rear hall which gives access to the large utility room and shower room.
