Features and description
THIS PROPERTY WILL BE PRIVATELY MANAGED BY THE LANDLORD (ROXBURGHE ESTATES).
ALL ENQUIRIES WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE LANDLORDS WHO WILL RESPOND DIRECTLY TO SET UP VIEWINGS AND HANDLE ALL NEGOTIATIONS.
A Truly remarkable, 11-bedroom, Victorian Country House, which includes a two-bedroom, self-contained cottage. The property is situated within the rolling Cheviot Hills, which form a magnificent back drop to this historic house. This property was quite literally made for entertaining and has been tastefully modernised and restored to create a wonderful family home.
The Lodge, which was initially built in the early 18th Century for the 11th Duke of Roxburghe’s Great Grandfather. The construction of the two-storey building, started in 1828 and the original grand Doric door pieces are still intact to this day. A warm, country home which was enjoyed by the Duke and his family, as well as his first Gamekeeper who stayed in the cottage attached to the main house.
Situated around 25 minutes-drive from the town of Kelso (13.4 miles), the property provides a wonderful retreat, in the midst of some truly stunning countryside. Conveniently the house is almost exactly 90 minutes-drive from both Edinburgh and Newcastle.
The property has been sympathetically restored over a period of years under the watchful eye of The Georgian Society, with which the house is listed for preservation purposes. This ensured as many of its unique historical features have been retained, including a custom built and hand painted kitchen. A vast stone fireplace and wood burner have been specially made for the kitchen/dining room using stone salvaged from a property in Kelso.
Wallpapers by Watts of Westminster in the drawing and dining rooms are hand-printed in colours which complement the property beautifully, and in the dining room luscious silk taffeta curtains complete a look of grandeur and opulence.
The main house adjoins a two-bedroom cottage which is set over two floors and has its own private entrance. This can also be accessed via the main property and is included within the total of eleven bedrooms. Extensive out-buildings provide ample storage for all manner of out-door equipment including a generous log store.
The house provides easy access to enviable walking routes through the Cheviot Hills. The region is famous for its all year-round sporting opportunities, including salmon fishing on the River Tweed, grouse and pheasant shooting on local estates, a number of renowned golf courses, and also horse racing at Kelso
The property has an oil-fired central heating system.
Tenants would be responsible for maintaining the gardens.
To fully appreciate what the property offers, viewing is essential.
Accommodation includes, grand entrance hall, drawing room, formal dining room, impressive kitchen with informal dining area, utility room, TV lounge/library, games room, cloak room, nine bedrooms (within the main house) including five ‘bathrooms’ which include en-suites to many of the rooms. Within the self-contained, adjoining cottage, there are a further two en-suite bedrooms, a cosy sitting room, fully equipped kitchen.
THE EXISTING FURNITURE WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR A TENANT TO PURCHASE BY NEGOTIATION.
