Description
Immersed in the beautiful Scottish Borders countryside, Newlands occupies a wonderfully peaceful and picturesque position just beyond Denholm and close to Hassendean Burn. Enjoying gorgeous open country views towards the Minto Hills, Denholm, Ruberslaw and beyond, this is a property that offers an exceptional opportunity to create a wonderful rural home with genuine smallholding potential.
Set within just under 9 acres, the grounds provide an appealing mix of grazing land, woodland, garden ground and hardstanding, offering considerable versatility for those with equestrian interests, a love of country pursuits or simply a desire for more space and freedom.
The traditional stone-built house retains plenty of character and offers generous accommodation, while also providing exciting scope for modernisation and personalisation. The ground floor comprises an entrance, utility room and shower room, fitted kitchen, dining room and a comfortable lounge, both reception rooms benefiting from attractive bay windows. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a dressing room which could also serve as a nursery or home office, and a family bathroom.
The combination of the house, extensive grounds and stunning countryside setting makes Newlands a particularly exciting proposition for those seeking a lifestyle property in the Scottish Borders.
Location - Newlands is situated close to Minto, approached from a quiet country road between Lilliesleaf and Denholm. The property enjoys predominantly south-facing views across some of the Borders' most beautiful countryside, including the Minto Hills, Denholm and Ruberslaw.
The charming village of Denholm is one of the area's most sought-after rural communities, centred around its traditional village green and offering a selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Popular with families, retirees and those seeking a peaceful country lifestyle without sacrificing convenience, Denholm also benefits from a well-regarded primary school and excellent road connections both north and south.
Surrounded by open countryside and with the highly regarded 18-hole parkland golf course at nearby Minto, the area offers an enviable range of opportunities for outdoor recreation and country pursuits.
External - The property extends to approximately 9 acres, incorporating grazing fields, woodland, garden ground and hardstanding.
