Follow this road for 6 miles, the entrance to Bonkyl Lodge is on the left hand side just before entering Preston. SITUATION Bonkyl Lodge is set in the idyllic rolling countryside of the Scottish Borders, in a rural position offering easy access to both Edinburgh and Newcastle. Berwick-upon- Tweed,14.5 miles to the east, is the principal town of the area and provides an excellent range of shops and professional services as well as a mainline railway station with a fast service south to London and north to Edinburgh. Edinburgh is 46.5 miles via the A1 and Newcastle is 78.5 miles to the south. Edinburgh and Newcastle airports both run regular domestic and international flights. Duns, 3 miles to the southwest, is the county town, with a primary school, secondary school, sports centre and a good range of shops. Chirnside, 5 miles to the east, also has a range of local shops and services. Private schooling is available in Edinburgh and Berwick-upon-Tweed and preparatory schools can be found at Dunbar (Belhaven) and Melrose (St Mary s). The Borders region is an area renowned for its unspoilt rural landscape and for its country sports. The River Tweed is one of Scotland s best known salmon rivers and is one of the key attractions of the area. Favoured for its country sports, Berwickshire offers pheasant and grouse shooting on local estates and on the Lammermuir Hills to the northeast. Golf courses nearby include the Roxburghe, The Hirsel and Duns, and championship courses are within reasonable distance at Gullane, North Berwick and Muirfield. DESCRIPTION Built in 1878, Bonkyl Lodge is an impressive and commanding period house set in the heart of the Scottish Borders, and surrounded by private grounds including paddocks, grazing fields, stabling and an immaculate C Listed walled garden. Entering the property from the north facing main door, an entrance hall with ornate open fireplace is lit by a double height sash and case window overlooking the north field. To the right of this hall is the main reception hall with magnificent staircase and open fireplace providing focal points. From the reception hall a library is accessed which features fitted floor to ceiling bookshelves, and two sash and case windows with internal shutters overlooking the west garden. To the rear of the reception hall, adjacent to the library, is the generously proportioned drawing room with three bay windows overlooking the garden, French doors leading on the south patio, and a large open fireplace.

A rear door leads from the patio, into a vestibule which opens up onto the rear of the reception hall. A spacious dining room sits opposite the drawing room, featuring two large windows, an open fireplace, a linen press, ornate cornicing and wood panelling. A door leads into a secondary hall which links up to the entrance hall, from which a cloakroom with WC, secondary staircase and pantry are all accessed. To the west of the hall is the open plan and superbly finished kitchen, family room and garden room. The large space is floored with paved slabs throughout adding a continuity to the flowing areas. The family room provides a snug relaxation area with log burning fire, fitted bookshelves, two windows overlooking the north field, and two recessed shelves. The kitchen and dining area are cleverly divided by an island with integrated sink, shelves and breakfast bar. The kitchen features a five door dark grey Aga, integrated Leibherr fridge and freezer, Miele dishwasher and fitted base and wall units. Two sliding French doors open onto the bright garden room which has fitted blinds, base units and two doors opening onto the patio. To the south of the kitchen is a small hall which provides access to a number of store rooms including a boot room with open fireplace, larder and utility room. Stone steps lead down to the cellar which houses a boiler room and log store. The main staircase from the reception hall leads up to the first floor landing where eight bedrooms are situated, two with en suite shower rooms. The master suite lies to the east of the landing and features an en suite bathroom with bath, shower, WC and basin, a walkthrough dressing room, large bedroom with dual aspect windows and access into a further room currently used as a secondary dressing room. From the landing, seven further bedrooms and two bathrooms are all accessed. A rear staircase leads down to the west side of the house. In the middle of the landing a secondary staircase leads up to the second floor landing where there is a self contained flat with three bedrooms with coombed ceilings and dormer windows, a kitchen with dining area, sitting room and bathroom. OUTSIDE Within the 22.6 acres of grounds that surround Bonkyl Lodge are two grazing fields, two paddocks, a dressage arena, stabling with five loose boxes and a C listed walled garden. The interior of the C Listed walled garden is divided into quadrants, with gravel pathways linking the internal area. Adjacent to all four walls are productive herbaceous borders, kitchen beds, and vegetable plots.

A pretty garden surrounds the property with lawns, mature trees and flower beds. There is a greenhouse and patio to the south of Bonkyl Lodge. Woodland runs down to a tranquil burn with paths and bridges providing a peaceful place to walk. There are a number of stores that are housed to the southwest of the property.
