Welcome To The Bothy, Elibank, Walkerburn

Set at the foot of Elibank Castle, The Bothy is an exclusive architect-designed detached house that offers a significant near 4-acre plot and a truly awe-inspiring location amongst the rolling Scottish Borders' countryside. In a secluded setting with direct access to the recreational opportunities Elibank & Traquair Forest has to offer, the home's large rooms make the most of the surrounding scenery, enjoying dual-aspect and oversized windows to bring the outside in. The interiors are of an exceptionally high standard too, boasting two reception rooms and four impressively large bedrooms, served by four en-suites, a family bathroom, and a WC. It also benefits from a large breakfasting kitchen and a large convenient utility room. Meanwhile, the enveloping plot ensures families have extensive private parking and a wealth of outdoor space.

Take A Look Around

Inside, a hall welcomes you, providing generous storage and a nearby WC. The dual-aspect living room is upstairs sharing an expansive open-plan layout with the dining area. Here, full-height windows capture the imagination, bringing the outside in. Elegant styling (typical of the home) elevates the space further, along with a log-burning stove. Similarly, a dual-aspect family room has equally large dimensions, as well as a log burner. Expanding off the dining area, the dual-aspect kitchen features an on-trend range of modern cabinets and wooden worktops with a breakfast bar return. It is a stylish design that offers ample space and storage. A separate large utility room also comes generously appointed.

The Bedrooms And Bathrooms

The four double bedrooms are all wonderfully large and beautifully presented, maintaining the exceptional standards. The massive principal suite has the added advantage of (near) floor-to-ceiling windows and a large dressing area. The second bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and store, whilst bedrooms three and four have built-in wardrobes. Ensuring optimal luxury, all four bedrooms have their own high-quality en-suite shower room as well. The accommodation is finished by a four-piece family bathroom, which includes a double-sized bath and a walk-in shower enclosure. Oil-fired central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort.
