Situation

Harholm sits in an elevated position within the attractive village of Stichill, 2 miles outside of the popular Borders town of Kelso.

Situated on the banks of the River Tweed, the town is protected to the north by the Lammermuir Hills and the Cheviots to the south, and lies in one of the most beautiful valleys in the country. Floors Castle is close by, and Kelso plays host to the annual Border Union Agricultural Show and world-famous tup sales. Kelso has a wide range of shops, supermarkets, and services with excellent schooling in the area. The town has very good primary and secondary schools, with private schooling available in Melrose (14 miles) and Berwick-upon Tweed. The area is well provided for in terms of recreation, leisure facilities such as rugby, ice skating, hockey, equestrian, tennis, and football. There are lovely walks in the area and fishing is available on the Rivers Tweed and Teviot including the famous Junction Pool. Organised pheasant and grouse shooting is available locally. There are frequent National Hunt race meetings at Kelso and the golfer is well catered for at the recently established 18-hole Roxburghe course.

Edinburgh, and its international airport and mainline railway station, lies approximately 42 miles to the northwest of Kelso, while Berwick-upon-Tweed, with its mainline rail link (train links and being able to arrive in London pre 9:00 am) and the A1, lies approximately 24 miles to the east. Newcastle airport is approximately 58 miles to the south.

Description

Built in 1990 and fully renovated in 2022, Harholm offers pristine accommodation over one level, with ample outdoor space and great potential to extend/ develop.

To the front of the property is a wonderful open plan kitchen diner with floor to ceiling windows capturing the outstanding south easternly countryside view of the Tweed Valley and the whole range of The Cheviots, allowing a flow out through French Doors onto the large patio area perfect for outdoor dining/hosting. The newly fitted kitchen features a central island, an abundance of white wall and base units, integrated microwave and oven, induction hob, fridge freezer with water dispenser, dishwasher and washing machine. A wood burning stove adds a pretty feature to this area, being a great addition to the kitchen/diner in the winter months, making it a cosy room to spend an evening in front of the fire. Attached to the kitchen is a separate toilet and a boot room allowing access to an enclosed patio area and rear garden.

Further through the hallway is the large lounge, again benefitting from wonderful countryside views of The Cheviots out of a large picture window. With custom built shelving along one wall, there is ample storage and space for displaying décor. Two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes, a beautiful family bathroom – well equipped with marble tiles, a bath, dual head rainfall shower, WC, hand basin, heated towel rail and vanity storage and the office and linen room continue off the hall

The garden boasts privacy with many places to relax and take in the sun.

To the front of the property is a tarmac driveway with parking for several cars, a serviced double garage with two workspaces to the rear and two log stores.
