A substantial period family home set in over an acre of private gardens and paddock, Townhead of Cavers offers generous living space and classic Victorian character in a peaceful hamlet. The house provides multiple reception rooms, a large traditional kitchen with island, and four well-proportioned bedrooms — ideal for families, equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking space for hobbies and home working.
The plot and paddock are standout features: mature planting, greenhouse, vegetable allotment and fenced paddock create strong outdoor potential for gardening, small-scale keeping or equestrian use. Practical benefits include a private drive with garage, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal despite the remoter location, and no identified flood risk.
Buyers should note the property sits in a remote, very deprived area which may affect resale demand and access to some services. Running costs include oil-fired central heating, private drainage and a higher council tax band (Band G). The home has period fittings and an Energy Performance of Band E, so updating heating and efficiency could be beneficial for long-term savings.
Overall this is a rare countryside opportunity: a character-rich, spacious home with substantial outdoor land and clear scope for sympathetic upgrading to increase comfort and value in the Scottish Borders setting.
