Bewlie Mill, Lilliesleaf, Melrose, TD6

Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting and surrounded by approximately 2 acres of beautifully landscaped garden grounds. This charming former mill was lovingly and thoughtfully converted in the early 1990s, seamlessly blending traditional character with practical modern living. Offering a rare level of privacy, the property enjoys picturesque views, generous outdoor space and a collection of five versatile stone outbuildings, including a substantial stable and a large garage, perfect for a variety of lifestyle needs.

The ground floor of Bewlie Mill offers versatile and spacious accommodation ideal for modern family living. Upon entry, a central hallway leads to a generous family room, providing a warm and welcoming space for everyday relaxation. The triple aspect dining kitchen, complete with traditional solid wood cabinetry and natural light, offers a functional heart to the home. A separate utility room adds practicality for busy households. Also located on this level is Bedroom 4, a large double with a Jack and Jill wet room, perfect for guests or multigenerational living.

Upstairs, the first floor continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms and an expansive drawing room. The principal bedroom boasts ample built in storage, creating a luxurious private retreat. Two additional bedrooms are serviced by a modern family bathroom and an additional WC. The spacious drawing room is a standout feature, ideal for entertaining or relaxing, with French doors out to the garden and triple aspect views of the surrounding landscape.

Set within beautifully maintained garden grounds, Bewlie Mill benefits from mature planting, fruit trees, and established trees and shrubs that offer colour and shelter throughout the seasons. A paddock of just over an acre provides excellent potential for equestrian or smallholding use. The property includes five outbuildings offering significant storage or conversion potential (subject to necessary planning permission), including a stable/loose box, three large store rooms, one of which has been used as a field shelter and a separate garage. The old mill lade runs along the entire south-west perimeter of the property and by the house side which is an impressive and atmospheric feature. With a blend of formal gardens, productive land, and flexible outbuildings, the exterior of Bewlie Mill complements the generous interior perfectly, making this a truly unique countryside home.
