C Listed Edwardian villa with superb proportions and generous living space, all set within beautiful gardens
Location
Craigmount is situated in a superb semi-rural position on the edge of Peebles. This attractive town offers excellent local services with shops, professional services and supermarkets. It also has a secondary school just a short walk from the house.
Peebles is well placed for the commuter. Edinburgh is only 23 miles to the north and Glasgow 64 miles to the northwest. Edinburgh Airport (27 miles) has an increasing number of domestic and international flights.
Peeblesshire is one of the most beautiful and accessible parts of the Borders with rolling hills, farmland and woodlands. The area is renowned for its outdoor activities. There are golf courses at Peebles, Innerleithen and Cardrona. The Peebles Hydro and Cardrona Hotel both offer good leisure facilities and Glentress Forest with its trails is a fabulous location for mountain bikers. The River Tweed offers many beautiful walks and, of course, superb salmon fishing.
Description
Craigmount sits in a generous plot on sought after Bonnington Road in Peebles. The house was built in 1906 for the local tweed merchant, Ferdinand Gottlieb Plew and his family, and offers spacious and well-proportioned accommodation over two floors. The outlook from the house over the surrounding countryside is stunning and there are many period features throughout the house which is Category C Listed. Externally the house has a traditional appearance and is built in sandstone with a central tower and fish scale slate roof. The accommodation throughout is beautifully presented and there are superb views from many of the rooms.
Double storm doors open up into a welcoming vestibule which has an arched window to the front, a beautiful mosaic floor and door surrounded by stained glass, which opens into the main hallway. To the front of the house are two spacious reception rooms set off a bright hallway with Lincrusta decorative wall finish, original fireplace and staircase which gives access to the first floor. The drawing room is double aspect and has an open fireplace with impressive fire surround. The dining room is opposite and is also double aspect with a wide east facing bay window which allows light to flood the room.
The kitchen is set at the heart of the house and is large enough for a breakfast table. A four oven aga with warming plate sits on one wall with the main kitchen set within a large alcove with base units, sink and dishwasher.
On the south side of the house is a morning room and beyond is a link way to the rear hallway where there is a family shower room and cloakroom. A more recent addition to the house is a spacious Mozolowski & Murray garden room with separate dining and seating spaces which can be opened up if required to create a substantial space for entertaining. Two sets of French doors also open out to the garden.
The ground floor accommodation is completed by a home office, utility room and separate hallway with back door out to the driveway and garage.
The first floor has a generous landing, off which are five bedrooms and a family bathroom. The three bedrooms on the east side of the house have superb views to the Peeblesshire hills and the remaining bedrooms have a lovely aspect over the gardens. All five have decorative cornicing and original fireplaces. The family bathroom is part panelled and has a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.
The gardens which surround Craigmount have been beautifully kept and display a range of colours throughout the year. The main area of garden and lawn is on the south and east side of the house so the sun can be enjoyed for much of the day. To the front of the house is a large lawn interspersed with a variety of young trees, bordered by a beech hedge. Wrapping around the side and back of the house is a continuous border which is well stocked with numerous plants and shrubs. By the garden room is a patio and gravel area which is an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining and the gravel continues around the back of the house to the double garage and down the driveway to the public road.
