5 bed farm for sale

Eastfield, Melrose, Roxburghshire TD6.

A private and compact residential Estate in the heart of the Scottish Borders.

Eastfield is located in an elevated, private setting just south of Melrose with the Cheviot Hills to the south, the Eildon Hills to the north-east and the English Border in the far distance. With over 20 miles of far-reaching views, this property is found amidst some of the most beautiful and breath-taking landscape the south of Scotland has to offer.

It comprises of a beautiful Borders farmhouse, secondary house, three additional cottages (Orchard House, Mill Cottage and North Lodge) and an attractive range of traditional outbuildings including an L-shaped steading, garaging, stables, tack room and various stores. The house has been well maintained and has been updated and renovated in recent years and is now a very comfortable and adaptable family home, thought to date back to the late 18th century. The sale also includes 156 acres of permanent pasture, 15 acres of woodland and 9 acres of rough grazing.

Orchard House was built in 1998 and sits to the south-west of the main house. Mill Cottage forms part of what was the original mill: It is a traditional construction with an attractive, west-facing garden. Situated at the back drive leading to Orchard House, Mill Cottage and the steading lies North Lodge, a stone cottage with a small garden.

Eastfield is accessed from the main Selkirk/St Boswells A699 road, via a minor country road. There are gate lodges at either entrance with an attractive tree-lined gravel drive which leads to the carriage circle at the main house.

The popular market town of Melrose is widely considered one of the most attractive small towns in the Scottish Borders. With easy access to Edinburgh, it offers a remarkable combination of historic architecture, shopping and restaurants, hotels, sporting facilitates and excellent schools. The terminus for the Borders Railway is just outside the town at Tweedbank and provides regular train services to Edinburgh with a journey time of 57 minutes.
