Description

Bonnie Brae is one of seven homes that form part of the development of new homes built at the former East Nether Blelock Farm steading. Occupying a 1.3 acre south west facing site, it has an enviable position in the development, being close to   neighbours at the rear and entirely private to the front where the majority of the garden is laid out and the westerly views are spectacular.

Although the house has several doors to the garden, the most regularly used entrances to the house are either via the integral garage, or at the back of the house where a back hall leads into a beautiful contemporary kitchen. Painted in earthy, contemporary shades of green, the kitchen is arranged around a central granite island, making it ideal for dining and socialising. A floor to ceiling window incorporates French windows and frames a far reaching view of the surrounding countryside. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances including a two drawer dishwasher, waist height ovens and a Quooker flex boiling water tap. The formal sitting room and dining room are positioned in the centre of the house. The sitting room has an attractive semi-circular bay window and a large fireplace with wood burning stove. The dining room is positioned at the back of the house. There is also a study with storage and music/playroom and a WC on the ground floor, all accessed by an L-shaped hallway which has storage cupboards and a Rennie Mackintosh style stained glass door to the garden.

On the first floor there are four bright, spacious and immaculate double bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes and their own bathroom. The main bedroom suite spans the width of the house and has an en suite shower room and dressing room. Bedrooms two and three have en suite shower rooms and bedroom four is situated beside a separate shower room. The interior of Bonnie Brae is immaculate.

Garden
Bonnie Brae is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden. The house is approached through electric gates that open to a tarmac parking area beside the garage. An expanse of neatly mown lawn is laid out to the front of the house and enclosed by clipped hedges on its furthest boundaries and by neat curved edges nearest the house where it adjoins a paved terrace. A copse of trees has been planted at the southern tip of the garden and in every corner there is planting and landscaping to create interest and to provide corners to sit and enjoy the view. To the rear of the garden there are paved, slate and gravel pathways interspersed with neatly clipped hedges and fabulous topiary.

Garage
The integral double garage has remote controlled doors and space for storage and tools in addition to two cars. Boarded storage space above the garage is accessed via a folding loft ladder.

Studio/summer house
The studio is a multi-purpose space currently storing outdoor gear and garden furniture. An area of outdoor composite decking beside the studio is ideal for eating out and entertaining in good weather.

Additional Outbuildings
Garden shed with worktable and patio area
Steel security shed with vehicular access
