West Leas is a rare, substantial Borders estate combining a traditional stone family house with productive farmland, commercial woodlands and a strong range of modern outbuildings. The main house has been tastefully modernised and extended, sitting within extensive landscaped gardens featuring manicured lawns, cascading streams, slow-water pools and a courtyard with a modern glasshouse and garden room. A 55kW biomass heating system serves the house and courtyard buildings, supporting lower running costs and woodfuel operations.
Lot 1 offers about 36.14 Ha (89.30 Acres) of pasture, amenity woodland and riverbank to the Rule Water, plus good internal farm access and stock-proof fencing. The mix of grade 3.2 and 4.1 pasture, commercial broadleaved and conifer plantations, polytunnel, yard and substantial modern stores creates options for small-scale farming, equestrian use, woodland income or diversified rural business ventures. Secluded riverbank stretches provide wellbeing and recreational opportunities including wild swimming.
Buyers should note important practical points: the property is offered freehold with no BPSE entitlements included, the farmland is subject to a grazing agreement until end December 2025, and there is a dilapidated former farmhouse ruin at the bottom of the garden which will require full restoration or clearance. The house has four bedrooms but only one bathroom listed in the particulars; some recent extensions require final decoration and flooring. A 10% non-refundable deposit is required on conclusion of missives and purchasers must comply with ongoing forestry grant conditions where applicable.
For purchasers seeking a large, versatile rural holding near Denholm and Jedburgh, West Leas blends immediate residential comfort with long‑term income potential from timber and amenity land, significant development or diversification scope (subject to consents), and strong privacy and landscape quality characteristic of the Scottish Borders.
