Nether Horsburgh Farmhouse is a charming country home set within 5 acres of mature grounds in the heart of the Tweed Valley, lying roughly equidistant from the quaint towns of Innerleithen & Peebles. Formerly the centre of the Nether Horsburgh Estate, the early part of the farmhouse dates from the 18th Century, subsequently gentrified by Thomas Bell, an Edinburgh candlemaker, in 1805, to provide the impressive reception rooms with their original Adam style fireplaces, wainscot paneling and plasterwork – the house is abundant in key period features throughout. Set over three floors the property boasts a bright drawing room with direct access into a delightful sun-room, large dining room, country kitchen with Aga, pantry / larder, comfortable study & WC are also on the ground floor. To the rear of the house there is a boot room, utility & double guest bedroom.
A cast-iron stair with carved handrail leads to the first floor. The principal bedroom benefits from a large dressing room and access to its own bathroom. There are a further two large double bedrooms accessed via its own wooden staircase and a further bathroom with shower over bathtub – there is an additional nursery / ironing room, too. The house benefits from a large attic space which could be converted to provide additional bedroom space or a large playroom/TV room. All bedrooms boast lovely views over the mature gardens which surround the property, most looking towards the River Tweed. The house is fitted with a security alarm.
The original walled garden remains intact with several specimen fruit trees, rose bushes, laid lawn, deep beds for planting, herbaceous borders, greenhouse and potting shed. To the front of the house is a further wraparound lawn separated from the sizeable front paddock by a Haha & fence. A tarmac driveway leads to the property from the main road affording a sense of grandeur and privacy on entry. The Hope burn runs adjacent to the driveway, lined by daffodils in Spring.
There are an array of stone outbuildings with the property providing appeal to equestrians with the opportunity to create several loose boxes. The added benefit of the paddock field to the front of the property would allow ample grazing for ponies/horses. The outbuilding have been recently re-roofed and comprise four byre sheds with stone floors, two large garages & a boiler room housing the oil tank and a useful log/coal store – there is also a three-bay stone carport with electric car charging point installed.
The property backs directly onto Forestry commission land allowing instant access to the hills for dog walking / hiking / cycling / riding and connects directly with Glentress trails. The River Tweed for fly fishing is staggering distance wearing waders - permits available locally for Trout fishing and Salmon fishing.
