Summary - THE ORCHARD, CROOKHOUSE FARM, KELSO TD5 8AE
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Large paddock and studio above garage for rural family living.
Spacious 4-bed stone house with traditional country character
The Orchard at Crookhouse Farm is a substantial stone-built family home set in a very large rural plot about 7 miles from Kelso. The house combines traditional country character with modern farmhouse fittings: a generous open-plan kitchen/living/dining space with an AGA, two formal reception rooms, and a large utility/boot room. A paved gravel drive leads to a double garage with a self-contained studio/games-room above, adding flexible, private space for guests, work or leisure.
The plot includes a paddock of roughly 0.9 acres suitable for ponies or small livestock and room to add stabling. Ground-floor bedroom and shower-room offer practical one-level living; three first-floor bedrooms each have en-suites and views across mature gardens and rolling countryside. Practical extras include mains electricity, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus potential to add an EV charging point to the garage.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the property is served by private water and a septic tank (private drainage), heated by an oil-fired boiler, and sits in a remoter, very deprived area classification. Council Tax is band G and described as quite expensive. The EPC is rated C. These factors affect running costs and may influence mortgage or insurance arrangements.
For families or buyers seeking significant outdoor space, flexible ancillary accommodation and rural privacy, this home offers genuine scope and immediate usability. For purchasers prioritising low running costs, mains drainage or urban convenience, the property’s private services, oil heating and remoter location are important considerations.
