Surrounded by 1,800 acres of tranquil open countryside and farmland, this magnificent property makes a fabulous retreat for larger families and groups of friends enjoying a peaceful holiday or reunion. With ample space for up to 18 guests across nine tastefully presented bedrooms, the spacious, light-filled residence provides a wonderful base for walkers, nature lovers and cyclists discovering an idyllic part of the beautiful Scottish Borders. This thoughtfully updated and elegantly furnished steading is stylish throughout, with a range of enticing features including exposed stonework, high vaulted ceilings, timber beams, a games room and a roaring wood burner. Enjoying far-reaching country views, this light and spacious hideaway sits within the grounds of an arable and livestock farm – guests can book a farm tour with the owner, with a chance to see the resident horses, seasonal lambs and calves, or watch the combine in action at harvest time. Horses are also welcome – stabling and grazing can be arranged with the owner.
Stepping inside this stunning getaway, the welcoming hallway has a staircase leading up directly into an airy, spacious and beautifully lit open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with exposed stonework and wooden beams in the high vaulted ceiling. The charming lounge has a Smart TV and comfortable seating, with beautiful views from the picture windows. The sociable dining table is at the heart of the room, next to the characterful and stylishly organised kitchen – a private chef can be booked by arrangement with the owner. A few steps lead down into an elegant second lounge/diner with a wood burner, Smart TV, further seating and a dining table. You will also find a shower room, utility cupboard and a drying room, as well as a characterful games room with a bar area, drinks fridge and snooker table.
