Forest Lodge is a unique oak-framed detached house in the small village of Tweedsmuir overlooking the Talla Water.

The accommodation begins with a spacious double height entrance hallway with exposed oak beams and solid oak flooring throughout. Adjacent is the reception area divided by a central stove serving both the sitting room and dining room. The sitting room features a double height vaulted ceiling and floor to ceiling windows on two sides allowing for full views of the countryside beyond. There is direct access from here onto the veranda. The dining room and kitchen faces east, further flooded with light from skylights and floor to ceiling windows. French doors access the decked area which wraps around the side of the building allowing space for outside dining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinets, integrated dishwasher, a dual fuel Rangemaster cooker and space for a freestanding fridge freezer. From the entrance hallway a separate utility room gives integral access to the single garage. There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor with the generous principal bedroom enjoying a triple aspect over the gardens and a further double bedroom with built in wardrobes. A bathroom with separate walk in shower and bath completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is reached by a custom oak staircase arriving at a generous galleried landing where a further seating area allows for elevated views out to the countryside. Two further double bedrooms are located on the first floor, both benefitting from plenty of storage and one enjoying a south facing aspect. The first floor also features a shower room with twin counter-top basins with vanity storage. The property benefits from gas-fired underfloor heating and double glazing throughout.

A private gated entrance leads off the public road onto a large gravelled driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. An integrated single garage is located to the side of the house behind barn-style doors.

The house sits within generous garden grounds that are enclosed by a traditional stone wall and fencing. A veranda and terrace wrap around two sides of the house giving way to lawns. A feature pond with seating area offers space away from the house to enjoy the views down to the river and over the expansive countryside setting.
