A stylish pad near the banks of the River Tweed and St Boswells Accessed by a private drive just south of the pretty village of St Boswells, The Trouthouse is a stylish property adjoining Maxton House, a handsome Victorian country house set in nearly 8 acres of private grounds. The house boasts a tranquil setting near a meander in the River Tweed yet is an easy 1.5-mile walk into St Boswells, following a scenic loop down to the river, past St Boswells Golf course and into the village. Once here, guests can enjoy lazy pub lunches at the excellent Buccleuch Arms, afternoon tea at The Mainstreet Trading Company deli, book shop and café, and fresh-from-the-oven pizzas at Hunters Stables. In addition to fishing, golf, the urban delights of St Boswells and attractions such as Dryburgh Abbey and Melrose on the doorstep, Trouthouse is ideally placed for walkers, who can tackle all, or sections of, the nearby St Cuthbert’s Way and Borders Abbey circular walk, which links the historic abbeys of Melrose, Dryburgh, Jedburgh and Kelso. Chances are, however, guests at the Trouthouse will be perfectly content simply relaxing in the comfort of their home from home. Restored to the highest quality in contemporary Scandi style, this is a property that oozes quiet sophistication and calm. A palette of soft greys, blues and pinks creates a soothing backdrop for an eclectic blend of modern and old furnishings, achieving a comfortably lived-in yet stylish feel. The country-style kitchen leads into an open-plan dining and living space, where a six-person dining table sits by towering Victorian sash windows and a low-slung sofa faces a roaring woodburner. Two spacious double bedrooms, and a further room with a double and bunk bed, are set beneath sloping ceilings and showcase the Trouthouse owner’s distinctive design style, blending original fireplaces and lime-washed timber floors with exposed cord and filament bulb lights and Perspex chairs. One of the double bedrooms boasts an en-suite bathroom while the other two enjoy shared access to a family bathroom with a rolltop bath and walk-in shower. Finally, this enchanting house features an enclosed garden, ideal for children and dogs to play in freely, and a large patio courtyard for relaxing and al fresco dining.
