4 bedroom detached house

The Property

Dating from circa 1779, Greenfield is a charming Georgian former manse offering generous and flexible living space in the heart of the picturesque conservation village of West Linton. Set within beautifully landscaped gardens of about 2.5 acres, this handsome detached home combines period character with modern living in a peaceful and accessible location. The current owners have undertaken a thoughtful refurbishment, including a superb new kitchen which now forms the heart of the home. This beautifully fitted space flows into the dining area and connects directly to the utility room, creating a highly practical layout ideal for everyday life and entertaining.

Arranged over two principal floors, the house retains a wealth of original features including sash and case windows, panelled doors and decorative fireplaces. The reception rooms are bright and well-proportioned, including a welcoming drawing room, formal dining room, and a versatile garden room with views over the grounds. The garden room is currently used as a studio but would also work well as a games room or versatile reception space.

On the first floor are four generous double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite bathroom, alongside a family bathroom. The top floor remains an exciting opportunity, with five attic rooms offering scope for further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

Gardens and Grounds

The gardens are a particular highlight, extending to approximately 2.5 acres and thoughtfully divided into a series of zones. To the front, a sweeping lawn is bordered by mature trees, offering a sense of arrival and privacy. Behind the house, the owners have created a beautifully planted kitchen garden with raised beds, alongside areas for outdoor dining, play, and peaceful enjoyment of the surroundings. There is also extensive offroad parking and a double garage.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an elegant period home in one of the Borders’ most desirable villages, with further potential and an exceptional lifestyle on offer.

Greenfield enjoys a prime position on the edge of the sought after village of West Linton, a charming conservation village known for its strong sense of community and easy access to Edinburgh. The village offers a range of local amenities including a small supermarket, coffee shop, pub, health centre, post office and an award-winning primary school.

For secondary education, the highly regarded Peebles High School is within easy reach, while a number of independent schools in Edinburgh such as Merchiston, George Watson’s, George Heriot’s and ESMS are also accessible by daily bus or car.

The surrounding area offers a wide range of leisure opportunities, including walking and cycling in the Pentland Hills, horse riding, golf at West Linton Golf Club, and fishing on the River Tweed. Nearby towns such as Peebles, Biggar and Penicuik provide a broader selection of shops, cafes and services.

West Linton lies approximately 18 miles south of Edinburgh city centre, making it a popular choice for commuters. The city is easily accessible by car via the A702, or by regular bus services from the village. Edinburgh Airport is around 21 miles away and offers an extensive range of domestic and international flights.
