From the large garden you can while-away the hours watching the river and its inhabitants including deer, otter and a wide variety of birdlife, while a nearby path leads to the river and a network of walks.
The difference here is in the detail, reflecting both the impeccable taste of the owner and the inspirational sights and colours of the area. The interior has a wonderful country-house feel, balanced with timeless designs which celebrate the work of young and emerging artists.
A particular highlight is the cosy drawing room with open fire and double doors leading to a patio seating area with superb river views. This includes a calming colour scheme in chalk white and duck egg blue, with statement feature walls in Harvest Hare by award winning designer Mark Hearld and artworks by illustrator Emily Sutton.
The formal dining room benefits from captivating river views, an open fire and warming sisal flooring, while the well equipped dining kitchen is presented in a traditional shaker style, leading into a utility and boot room which is ideal for fishing gear and outdoor kit, not forgetting the furry members of the party of course!
The three double bedrooms all benefit from high quality 5’ king size beds with signature headboards from the design houses of St. Jude’s, Cabbages & Roses and the Silk Bureau, while super artworks by local artist Sue Fenlon, Angie Lewin and Mark Hearld complete the overall look.
Outdoors, you can relax with a refreshing Pimms outside the cedar clad drawing room and with the River Tweed as the stunning backdrop, you may find you never want to leave!
Dog Park
All Milne Graden properties benefit from use of the Tails of the Tweed Dog Park in the estate’s former Victorian kitchen garden. Sitting on the route of the mapped walks which run around the estate, this bright, sunny spot is a perfect space for relaxation while your furry friend can play and run freely within the safety of this enclosed space. A range of dog agility obstacles and toys are sure to add some extra fun!
