Summary - Bachilton House Portmore Estate - Lot 1, Peebles, Scottish Borders, EH45 EH45 8QU
18 bed 13 bath Land
Rare private country estate with restored walled garden and extensive parkland.
Category A‑listed Scots baronial house with original period features
Portmore is a Category A‑listed Scots baronial house set within formally laid out gardens and extensive parkland. The main house dates from 1850 with turrets, high ceilings and numerous original features, alongside a restored walled garden, Victorian glasshouse and a range of useful outbuildings and cottages. The lot includes Portmore House, Portmore Lodge, Primrose Cottage, Hillhead Cottage and about 274 acres in total.
The estate offers an exceptional private setting with specimen trees, sweeping lawns, water features and woodland walks. Mature horticultural features have been carefully restored, making the gardens a principal asset. Practical estate elements include farm buildings, a reservoir, and the infrastructure of a formerly successful pheasant shoot.
Ownership brings clear obligations: Portmore House’s listed status restricts alterations and will complicate repairs and insurance. The property has an EPC band around E, substantial internal area, high ongoing maintenance and very expensive council tax. Several cottages are let or occupied, and tenure details are not specified for all buildings.
Lot 1 is offered either alone, with Lot 2, or as the whole estate. For a buyer seeking rare heritage, horticultural interest and large-scale countryside amenity, Portmore provides immediate enjoyment but also significant conservation, running-cost and regulatory responsibilities.
