A striking C-Listed country house restored

Laws House, located in a discreet and elevated position near Duns, immediately impresses with its grand façade of polished sandstone. Built circa 1870, this C-Listed property spans an immense 8,428 sq. ft., offering ten bedrooms, five bathrooms, and four stunning principal reception rooms, perfect for both large-scale entertaining and intimate family life.

The current owners have executed a superb restoration, successfully blending intricate period detailing—such as ornate barley sugar balusters on the grand staircase, feature fireplaces, and decorative cornicing—with high-specification contemporary fixtures. This delicate balance ensures the home retains its historic soul while providing a truly luxury experience. From the principal bedroom suite, complete with its en-suite bathroom and dressing room, to the sun terrace accessed from the dining kitchen, every element speaks to an uncompromising standard of quality and refinement.
