Key Features
• Four Bedroom Farmhouse: Unmodernised farmhouse with potential to extend, subject to the usual planning consent. Three well-proportioned reception rooms, kitchen, utility room, WC, four/five bedrooms and a family bathroom.
• Extensive Steading Buildings: Versatile outbuildings that could be converted into additional living space, stabling, workshops or business opportunities (subject to the usual planning consent).
• 1.8 Acres of Land: Perfect for those looking to create a garden from scratch while incorporating the many existing mature trees. Part of the land could be a paddock for keeping a horse. Please note, additional land may be available by separate negotiation.
• Private Driveway: Tree lined drive leading to the front of the house and plenty of parking.
• Panoramic Views: Uninterrupted
The farmhouse and its surrounding buildings present a rare opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke country house. With thoughtful renovation, this property can be transformed into a beautiful family home or a business opportunity. The farmhouse, though requiring modernisation, has period charm and offers a blank canvas for people looking to create their ideal family home. The property includes a variety of traditional features and classic proportions, providing a solid foundation for a twenty first century home. The steading buildings are expansive and versatile, offering endless possibilities for development. Whether you envision additional accommodation, a home office, art studio, or even a small business, these buildings provide a valuable extension to the main farmhouse. The 1.8 acre plot provides privacy in a stunning setting with ample space for outdoor activities, gardening or keeping a horse.
New Smailholm Farmhouse is situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders, close to the small conservation village of Smailholm. Positioned in an idyllic rural setting, the property benefits from a south easterly aspect with wide reaching views, with the historic Smailholm Tower as the focal point. It lies 40 miles from Edinburgh with many city facilities and an international airport, and 31 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed with its main line railway station, with direct services to and from London and Edinburgh. The Borders Railway between Edinburgh and the Borders terminates at Tweedbank (8.5 miles) just outside Melrose.
New Smailholm Farmhouse is ideally suited for those wishing to take advantage of the wealth of recreational opportunities available in the Scottish Borders, an area renowned for its unspoilt beauty, strong equestrian tradition and rich variety of sport. Driven grouse, pheasant and partridge shooting are available locally with salmon fishing on the Rivers Tweed and Teviot. There are endless opportunities for walking and riding and for golf enthusiasts there are a number of courses in the area including the championship Roxburghe course at Kelso. There are a number of good schools in the area, with the house being in the catchment for Edenside Primary and Kelso High schools, whilst at Melrose there is the well-known boys' and girls' preparatory school of St Marys.
