Description

Nestled on a generous plot at the edge of the picturesque village of Lilliesleaf, The Schoolhouse is a former schoolmaster's residence full of charm, character, and timeless Victorian features. A rare opportunity to own a unique lifestyle property with both history and potential.

The Schoolhouse - A home in the heart of the village, The Schoolhouse offers a wonderful opportunity for a family looking to make a life in the Scottish Borders. Ideally placed to take advantage of the best of the surrounding countryside, this sought after spot within TD6 has its own well regarded primary school and nursery, and even a recently reopened village pub, with the village benefitting
strong links to nearby Melrose and St Boswells,

The property itself is a striking sandstone Victorian home with many traditional features retained such as the original fireplaces and coving. With a choice of public rooms and a modernised kitchen on the ground floor, the property makes the most of open outlooks across the private wrap around garden. Three generous bedrooms are set on the first floor, with a smaller fourth bedroom or study, again allowing plenty of space for a growing family or hosting guests.

The outdoor complements the country aspect, with the large wrap around plot securing privacy and peace with mature sheltering trees and hedging. Largely laid to lawn and fully secured with fencing, there is no end of potential for play or further landscaping.

While some elements of the home await completion, this presents a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to add their own stamp. Buyers seeking a project with character and potential will find immense value in shaping this charming property to their personal vision.
