Summary - BROTHERSTONE MILL, NETHER BROTHERSTONE, HERIOT EH38 5YS
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious five-bed Georgian house on circa 12 acres with tennis court and solar benefits.
Circa 12 acres of gardens, woodland, pond and tennis court
Brotherstone Mill is a substantial five-bedroom Georgian country house set in circa 12 acres of gardens, woodland, pond and tennis court. The house combines large, high-ceilinged rooms and original period detail with practical upgrades including solar PV, solar thermal and an EV charging point. Positioned for sweeping rural views and a sunny south‑westerly aspect, the property suits families seeking spacious, private countryside living with direct road links to the Borders and Edinburgh.
Internally the layout spans two floors with three principal reception rooms, a study and a versatile ground-floor principal bedroom with en-suite. High-quality period features such as herringbone parquet, wood panelling and feature fireplaces give strong character, while a large double garage includes a gym, workshop and solar panels that have contributed meaningful feed‑in returns.
Buyers should note material running-cost and efficiency facts: the EPC is rated E and Council Tax is band G, so annual costs will be higher than modern homes. The property lies in a remoter, very deprived local classification which affects local services and amenities; mobile signal is only average despite fast broadband availability. While the house has been sensitively upgraded, its scale and age mean ongoing maintenance and potential further energy improvements are likely.
This is a rare well-appointed family country house with substantial outdoor space and ancillary buildings. It will particularly appeal to families or buyers wanting a private estate-style home with entertaining spaces, outdoor facilities and renewable-energy benefits, who are prepared to manage higher operational costs and rural running requirements.
