An as-new detached villa provides a modern option within a traditional enclave in Peebles
Perfectly in keeping with the existing period homes on Bonnington Road, the equally substantial double-fronted detached villa at number 23 - one of the largest and most luxurious designs in CALA Homes’ property portfolio – was only completed in 2011. One of three villas set slightly apart from other properties on this exclusive development within a highly sought after residential area of the town, its size and peaceful setting were what initially attracted the property’s current owners, who bought the villa on completion. Although the town centre is only a short but scenic walk through the park and across the footbridge that spans the River Tweed, Bonnington Road borders open countryside and is the starting point for some spectacular hill walks.

A charming covered entrance and vestibule opens into a spacious reception hall that provides access on one side to a study, cloakroom, utility and exceptionally large kitchen open-plan to a family room linking to a conservatory at the rear of the house, a superb space for year-round appreciation of views across the garden to the river and hills beyond.
On the other side of the reception hall is a beautifully proportioned bay-windowed living room and adjoining but separate dining room, which in turn has double doors connecting it to the conservatory. Upstairs, the landing displays an added feature – double doors opening onto a front-facing balcony.

Occupying almost the full depth of the house, the master bedroom suite cannot fail to impress: extending from the bay-windowed bedroom is a his ‘n’ hers dressing area with fitted wardrobes on either side – and continuing from there is an adjoining en suite bathroom of palatial size, incorporating twin basins and both bath and separate shower. This floor houses four further bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, while two also have en suite shower rooms. Completing this sizeable home is a family bathroom with separate shower. Outside, the gardens are predominantly lawn interspersed by low maintenance shrub borders. The extended patio and decked area are ideal for entertaining and dining outdoors or taking time out to admire the views. To the front of the house, a monobloc driveway provides plenty of parking space as well as access to the property’s detached double garage. Spanning 3,200 square feet, the house ticks all the boxes for family living – as does the location, close to the centre of one of the most admired high amenity towns in the Scottish Borders.
Peebles offers excellent schools, sports facilities, a high street renowned for its independent boutique shops, award-winning restaurants and Eastgate Theatre, an imaginatively converted church that incorporates cinema and theatre performances, exhibition area and cafe. The town also has a swimming pool, leisure centre, golf course, rugby club, tennis courts – and at nearby Glentress Forest, one of the top mountain bike venues in the UK.
