Built in 1962, Burnholm is a spacious and well-presented home with accommodation over two levels situated in a peaceful village location. Entry to the property is through a vestibule with a glazed door into the spacious central hallway. Ahead is a large sitting room with a fireplace and big south facing window looking over the garden. The dining area is open plan to both the sitting room and the kitchen and there is plenty of space for a large dining table. The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditionally styled base and wall mounted units along with appliances which include an electric AGA and Siemens microwave. There is a fridge set within the units as well as a dish washer, washing machine and a large sink in front of the window. Beyond the kitchen is a back door to the garden and a small utility cupboard. The sun room sits off the dining area and has views on three aspects over the garden along with French doors out to the patio.

Off the central hallway on the ground floor are three generously sized bedrooms with a family shower room set between them. At first floor level are a further two bedrooms with dormer windows overlooking the garden. One of the bedrooms features two large cupboards, a kitchenette and en suite bathroom with the other measuring 23ft long x 11ft across, making it an ideal play room or large bedroom

The main portion of garden is situated to the south of the house and is mostly laid to lawn and sheltered by a mature bank of shrubs and hedges which runs along much of the perimeter. Also on the south side of the house is a patio where outdoor dining can be enjoyed. A path links the patio to opposite ends of the house. To the west of the house is another patio with access to the garage and workshop.

Location

Burnholm is situated in the centre of Broughton, a thriving village in the Scottish Borders almost midway between the towns of Biggar and Peebles. It is set in the heart of the village with a backdrop of rolling fields. The village hall provides a hub for community activities including a playgroup and choral society and across the road from here there is a popular bistro and café, Laurel Bank Tea Room. The village is also home to a commercial garage and primary school as well as Broughton Brewery, a craft brewery established in 1979. The local community was awarded a grant from the Scottish Land Fund to buy the village shop, Broughton Stores, and it reopened in the summer of 2019. The towns of Biggar and Peebles offer a wider range of professional services as well as secondary schools, supermarkets and a variety of sports facilities. They are also host to a number of theatre and music clubs.

Broughton is situated on the A701, so has good road links to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the south. There is a public bus service between Biggar and Peebles, and Edinburgh International Airport is about 34 miles away. The Caledonian Sleeper service calls at Carstairs Junction station (15.5 miles) providing a useful railway link to and from London.

The local area provides an abundance of outdoor sporting opportunities with exceptional hill walking and mountain biking on the 7 Stanes. There is shooting and fishing to let locally, and the spa at Stobo Castle and Dawyck Botanic Garden are a short drive away. Furthermore, the area has been immortalised in the writings of John Buchan. The John Buchan Way passes a short distance from the property as it winds its way over the hills from Peebles to Broughton.
