Kinnaird
Set to the edge of the village of St Boswells, this charming detached bungalow offers spacious family accommodation and a beautifully landscaped wrap around garden, making it ideal for those in search of a peaceful setting with excellent access to both a range of amenities, schooling and open countryside. With a generous private drive providing plenty of parking, the frontage is sheltered with mature fruit trees and a cultivated vegetable garden of raised beds punctuating the lawn, where neat paving extends to the main double door entrance. A vestibule leads to the central hall; giving access to the three large public rooms and four double bedrooms. The kitchen sits quietly to the rear of the property with a lovely garden aspect enjoyed from a sunny dual aspect, and is ideal for family life and entertaining, with a fully fitted kitchen to one end and spacious dining area to the other. A useful utility room, housing laundry, storage and a cloakroom W/C, opens from the utility; with an external door directly to the rear garden making it perfect for muddy boots, children and dogs! From the hall, the main lounge is filled with natural light and is a lovely space to enjoy the outdoor space, with French doors linking to the garden and seating area. The neighouring sitting room makes for a comfortable and more informal public space, ideal for relaxed evenings with a cozy feature fire, and would also lend itself well as a playroom or home office. Sitting across the hallway, the bedrooms all sit to the far end, with the family bathroom in between and fully fitted with a white piece suite including walk-in shower, stripped wooden flooring and skylight. The master bedroom is well proportioned and benefits from in-built storage and an ensuite shower room, with three further well-appointed bright double bedrooms. Externally, this is somewhat of a masterclass in landscaping, with the current owners expertly cultivating and utilising the garden to host both pleasant seating and play areas, as well as bountiful vegetable and fruit plots, a greenhouse and practical elements including two timber sheds and a garage. Well established and providing all year colour, the garden is a fantastic complement to the accommodation, and being such a private and well-proportioned plot, there is still scope for a purchaser to extend, adapt or indeed reconfigure the current area to suit their own requirements.

With a charming village green at its centre, and an excellent range independent shops and specialists, including the Main Street Trading Company – an award winning bookshop, café and deli, the village also boasts an excellent butchers, a hotel with bar and restaurant, and a popular Italian bistro. The local primary school has an excellent reputation, with an adjoining nursery and an out-of-school club also within the village, and falls within the catchment for Earlston High School, with school bus service available. Being centrally positioned within the Borders, the A68 links the village to both north and south, with Edinburgh & Newcastle accessible in under an hour, and with the local railway station for the border line available at Tweedbank, opening up access to the city for both work and leisure. Access to further towns, such as Kelso and Galashiels are just a short 10-15 minute drive. In addition to a host of amenities and excellent transport links, the picturesque village is quite literally surrounded by beautiful countryside; bordered by the River Tweed and Eildon Hills, St Boswells provides ably for those in search of countryside living and pursuits, with a local golf course, tennis club, cricket field and with ample opportunities for walks within the countryside such as St Cuthbert’s Way and the Eildon Hills.
