Designed for year-round enjoyment and colour, the expansive and secluded gardens are an absolute joy. Established shrubs and trees, high hedges, manicured lawns and terraces create an idyllic setting. At the heart stands a majestic willow tree, its graceful canopy offering shade and serenity, providing a stunning focal point and a peaceful place to sit beneath on a warm summer’s day. Adding to the serenity of this magical property, a gentle burn meanders along the boundary, a favourite spot for playing ‘Poohsticks’ from the bridge.

The stables/workshop are conveniently situated at the rear of the house. Built in a block with timber cladding, the building is generously sized and could easily be divided into individual stables if required. Beyond the formal gardens, the land opens out into around eleven acres of fenced paddocks — ideal for horses, livestock, smallholding opportunities, or simply enjoying the beauty of the countryside.
