![]() With its tranquil setting and range of stunning detached family homes, CALA’s Allanbank Gardens in Lauder has already proved popular with homebuyers since its launch late last year.
The recent opening of the elegant Naismith showhome, means it is the perfect time to visit this exclusive development of only 27, four and five bedroom luxurious properties in the historic Scottish Borders town of Lauder.
Allanbank Gardens features five different detached housetypes from CALA Homes’ award-winning Lauriston range. These homes have spacious interiors with the flexibility to adapt to ever changing lifestyles – whether it’s open plan living for young families or separate social space for teenagers. Striking features such as grand drawing rooms and well proportioned kitchens and family rooms, make these homes the ideal choice.
The Naismith Showhome
The five bedroom Naismith has an elegant and visually interesting exterior with an attractive canopied entrance and contrasting mix of stonework and window styles.
Inside, this spacious family home has all the benefits of a detached property with modern comforts, contemporary styles and enduring classic lines. Take, for example, the traditional elegance of the 22 ft drawing room with its bay window overlooking the front garden and French doors leading into the separate dining room with aspect over the rear garden. Together, these elegant, well-designed, and sizeable rooms create a beautiful home.
Sian Woodfine of Marren has created interiors which bring together the contemporary and traditional aspects of the Naismith’s design and which has empathy with the surrounding rural environment.
In the drawing room neutral cream walls are complemented by splashes of colours in the soft furnishings, including sumptuous bronze material of the sofas and curtains, and cushions accented with orange.
In the adjoining dining room the designer has taken advantage of the light coming in through the French windows from the rear garden to create a bright contemporary interior based on a palate of orange colours.
On the ground floor the Naismith also features a contemporary designer kitchen, a family room opening out to the rear garden, a separate study and a utility room. Both traditional and contemporary layouts blend seamlessly together.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, with en-suites in the master and second bedroom. Indeed, the bright bay-windowed master bedroom itself is a particular highlight and also includes a separate walk-in dressing area. The fifth bedroom has been presented as a hobby room, to demonstrate the full flexibility of the home.
