Kirkton, Peebles, Scottish Borders

Kirkton Manor House is an utterly charming B-listed 18th Century manse sitting enclosed in a generous private plot extending to some 3 acres. Retained in the same family ownership for over 30 years the property is rich in key period features with ornate cornicing, sash & case windows and original architraves.

The property is set over three principal floors offering a wealth of reception rooms for entertaining including two sitting rooms, dining kitchen and a sun-filled orangery with views over the stunning gardens. There are four bedrooms – two of which boast en-suite bathroom/dressing rooms and a fifth bedroom which is currently set up as a well-equipped dressing room with shower.

The mature and informal country garden at Kirkton Manor House extends to circa three acres and is set in the beautiful Manor Valley. The property enjoys spectacular open views. The gardens are laid to lawn with deep herbaceous borders and pathways winding towards a large arboretum (formerly a pony paddock.) The gardens are set so that there is abundant and rich flora and fauna all-year round. To the front of the house is a large sweeping gravel driveway and row of useful outbuildings/garages.
