Enjoying the corner plot in an exclusive cul-de-sac on the outskirts of West Linton, 1 Roderick Place benefits from glorious views across the Scottish Borders countryside. This contemporary four bed property offers flexible living accommodation across three floors including five public rooms, two of which maximise the stunning views with large floor to ceiling windows.

A particularly unusual feature of this property is a fully integrated 16-seater cinema set up in the lower ground floor, adjoining the double garage.  This occupies a previously disused space and will most definitely appeal to those who enjoy a sociable movie night. One of the public rooms is utilised as a games room complete with pool table. A mature garden, mostly laid to lawn with planted borders, shrubs and trees wraps around the property. Two patio areas sit in secluded and sheltered locations with a large decking area to the side of the house for entertaining and a second decking area, on the opposite side of the house, for al fresco dining.
