Lot 2 comprises the purpose-built equestrian facilities, substantial outbuilding, and approximately 7.95 acres (3.22 ha) of well-maintained grazing land and woodland.
This flexible arrangement offers buyers the option to tailor the purchase to their specific needs.
PROPERTY DETAILS
The Hollies is a wonderful four-bedroom family home, offering beautifully presented accommodation, attractive garden grounds, and superb equestrian facilities, all set in the heart of the popular Berwickshire countryside.
The property is approached via a private driveway off the B6461, leading to a generous parking area in front of the house. Arranged over two principal floors, the accommodation includes two public rooms and four bedrooms, all finished to a high standard throughout.
The spacious kitchen with dining area is positioned at the rear of the house and features a modern range of units and appliances, with ample room for a large dining table—ideal for family life and entertaining. Just off the kitchen is a large utility room, which in turn leads to a boot room with direct access to the garden. There is also a WC on this level for added convenience.
The Hollies enjoys an attractive and well-established garden to the front, complete with an orchard and mature trees. To the rear, a generous patio with raised beds offers a perfect spot for outdoor living, complemented by an additional sheltered patio off the boot room—ideal for alfresco dining.
The land surrounding the property can be accessed directly from the house or via a separate vehicular driveway. Both routes lead to a substantial 225 sq m agricultural shed housing four large loose boxes, a pony stable (all with automatic water drinkers and rubber matting), a wash bay/stable 6, a secure tack room, and a feed room.
The well-fenced, level grazing land produces approximately 25 large round bales of haylage annually. Water has already been brought to the fence line, making it easy to install automatic troughs if desired.
A 30m x 45m paddock lies behind the house, adjacent to the stable block, and would be ideal for conversion into an all-weather outdoor arena. There is also easy access to off-road and quiet country lane hacking, making this an outstanding home for equestrian enthusiasts.
