Set in approximately 2.5 acres of private grounds, this detached three‑bedroom home offers peaceful rural living with wide panoramic views across the Ettrick Valley. The house is bright throughout, with a generous lounge/dining room, a snug, and a flexible third bedroom currently used as a large office — ideal for a family needing workspace or guests. A large timber cabin in the garden expands usable space for a studio, gym or hobby room.
Practical features include photovoltaic panels, fast broadband, a private water supply and private drainage — all within the property boundary and supporting a degree of self-sufficiency. The extensive grounds have multiple seating areas and an external shower, making the garden a genuine extension of the living space for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
There are material factors to note: the location is remote with average mobile signal, the local area scores as very deprived, and council tax is above average. The stone roof and chimney are traditional and may need inspection or maintenance. Private water and drainage systems also require ongoing upkeep and should be reviewed by a buyer used to off‑grid responsibilities.
This house suits families or buyers seeking a full‑time rural home, a weekend retreat, or a creative retreat with scope to personalise. The combination of light, space and grounds creates strong potential for lifestyle living, but the remote setting and maintenance obligations mean it’s best for someone comfortable with countryside upkeep.
