Who hasn\u2019t thought about leaving everything behind and retreating to a secluded spot in the countryside? For those who are seriously considering a rural escape, your ideal home could well be this contemporary gem nestled among trees at the foot of the Eildon Hills in Scotland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perched on the outskirts of the Scottish village of Melrose, the property \u2013 named Nimbus \u2013 marries architectural design with the allure of rural seclusion.<\/p>\n

Designed around the 1960s, the home is arranged across a single, tiered storey, connected with a short flight of stairs. Its design bears a resemblance to Frank Lloyd Wright\u2019s Usonian houses of the 1930s, characterised by L-shaped layouts<\/a>, flat roofs and a strong connection to their surroundings. <\/p>\n

Nimbus\u2019s zinc and larch exterior reflects the woodland it\u2019s embedded in, allowing the 986 sq ft house to blend almost seamlessly with its natural environment. Meanwhile, its modernist design gives the home a spa<\/a>-like quality. <\/p>\n

Enhancing this is the separate sauna<\/a> and generous terrace<\/a>, perfect for cooling off while gazing out into the woodland. <\/p>\n

But it’s not just the peaceful location, spa features, and striking architecture that make Nimbus an appealing home. Inside, clean lines, a bright colour scheme, and natural finishes create a warm, inviting atmosphere.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the house is the living room<\/a>, arranged around a central fireplace<\/a>. The space flows into an open-plan kitchen<\/a> and dining room, creating an ideal layout for entertaining. Whitewashed brick walls and exposed beams infuse the area with charm and cosiness.
<\/p>\n

Further into the property, three bedrooms provide plenty of space for a family or guests. The principal bedroom opens out onto the large terrace, which wraps around the property and offers striking views of the woodland outside. <\/p>\n

Another highlight is the bathroom featuring forest green floor-to-ceiling tiling<\/a> and a bathtub, which further elevates the spa feel. A second bathroom equipped with a shower ensures there is plenty of space to accommodate everyone\u2019s needs. <\/p>\n

This unique home is on the market with Knight Frank<\/a> for \u00a3625,000.<\/p>\n
