A fantastic country period property of distinction in the Scottish Borders. Nestled in rolling open countryside at the foot of the Cheviot Hills and yet only a ten minute drive from the historic market town of Kelso. Offering a flexible layout and high quality finish, this multi generational, income producing property is one that needs to be seen to be believed. With a wrap around mature garden, two stables and a small holding paddock this tranquil setting will be enjoyed by a variety of purchasers. Steeped in history this former School House offers a generous plot of approx. 0.5 acres (sts) benefiting from a range of traditional, stone built outbuildings and stores which offer excellent storage space and could be utilised for other purposes subject to obtaining consent. There is also a generous brick outbuilding that has two modern, generous internal stables in one side and a large storage space and hay barn in the other with the dedicated grass turnout area situated directly in-front. The current owner has historically leased additional local land for summer grazing.

This house abounds with period features such as large fireplaces, original doors, skirtings and shutters, high ceilings and large windows which allow plenty of light. The features have been lovingly restored - those looking for character will not be disappointed. The home offers a flexible living area and currently consists of an independent ground floor annex with generous living space, good sized bedroom with en-suite facilities, kitchen diner with rayburn cooker, pantry and under stairs storage cupboard. There is the additional benefit of a WC towards the side door entrance. The entrance door to the main part of the house leads to a spectacular curved staircase, with the main sitting room off of the entrance hall. A newly installed breakfasting kitchen offers an excellent space with large sliding doors offering excellent light and views of the rear garden and stables. Located off the kitchen, the generous conservatory/sun room is a wonderful extension to the living space and a tranquil place to relax looking out to mature, secluded gardens. The first floor has a generous main bedroom and bathroom to one side of the landing and to the other side is a large self contained suite comprising a bedroom, separate kitchenette and bathroom which is currently used as a holiday let providing it’s own reliable income in this very popular part of Scotland. The space could quite easily be adapted to suit an incoming buyers needs.
