Billerwell Farm House is a substantial Georgian detached home set on about 14.48 acres of pasture, woodland and ponds, with elevated views across The Rule Water and neighbouring farmland. The house offers generous family accommodation across two floors, including a large open-plan kitchen and garden room, formal drawing and dining rooms, five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Period features such as sash windows, decorative cornicing and high ceilings combine with later improvements including modern heating, mains services and fast broadband.
The estate includes a sheltered courtyard with an extensive range of traditional stone barns and outbuildings under slate and corrugated roofs. These offer practical storage, garaging and equestrian use now, and conversion potential for ancillary living or commercial uses subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The land is laid mainly to grazing with fenced tracks, ponds and a section of river, offering good scope for small-scale farming, equestrian pursuits or country recreation.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, flood risk is low and off-street parking is available. Its rural location appeals to buyers seeking privacy and space but brings remoteness — Hawick and local services are a drive away, mobile signal is average and the area is classified as a remoter community with relatively high local deprivation. The size of the house, outbuildings and grounds mean ongoing maintenance and running costs will be significant, and council tax is noted as quite expensive.
This is a home for a buyer who values character, land and long-term potential — families wanting space, smallholders and buyers seeking an equestrian base or conversion project. It presents immediate liveability with scope to improve or adapt the buildings and grounds to a purchaser’s needs, but also requires realistic expectations about upkeep, access and council tax costs.
