Set in an idyllic Borders setting, The Old Steading is a four-bedroom steading conversion that blends rustic character with eco-conscious upgrades. The house offers two generous reception rooms, a large dining kitchen, and three bathrooms across two floors — a practical family layout with plenty of flexible space for home working, hobbies or multigenerational living.
Outdoor space is a major asset: mature lawns, established trees, seating terraces with wide countryside views, a garden studio, polytunnel, chicken run and two loose boxes. A range of outbuildings and stabling alongside private rear parking make this suitable for small‑holding or equestrian use as well as family entertaining.
The property already includes solar PV and solar hot water, which generate an income (circa £1,200/year under FITs) and reduce running costs. Practical services are in place — fast broadband, oil central heating and double glazing — but note water and drainage are private (shared septic) and the property relies on private water supply and oil heating.
Important practical points: there is no mobile signal on site, the location is semi‑remote and classified as a very deprived area (rural remoter communities), and front parking is shared. These factors suit buyers seeking seclusion, countryside lifestyle and versatility rather than town‑centre convenience.
