Kirkhill Steading is a most impressive luxury steading of attractive, traditional stone construction in a fantastic location next to the old Legerwood Kirk and enjoying superb panoramic views south over the surrounding countryside. The accommodation is exceptionally spacious and finished to very high standards with natural materials such as stone, slate and oak used to excellent effect and with a generous provision of power points, with TV and phone points in most rooms. Of particular interest is the detached stone built garage under a recently replaced slate roof, which features a fully floored attic and offers great potential for the creation of annexe accommodation.

LOCATION
Legerwood is a small hamlet situated some three miles from the nearby town of Lauder which is within easy commuting of Edinburgh about 22 miles to the north, lying on the Leader Water in the old county of Berwickshire. Lauder itself has a distinctive tollhouse at the centre and many local attractions including Thirlestane Castle. The modern day town serves as a gateway to the Borders and has an increasing number of up- market shops and businesses serving local needs. In addition, it falls into the catchment area for the highly regarded High School at Earlston which is currently undergoing a transformation with a new building being constructed.

DIRECTIONS
Travelling south from Edinburgh on the A68, drive through Lauder for about 1 mile, looking out for a left hand signpost for 'Legerwood'. Follow this road for approximately 2 miles as far as the Old Kirk, with Kirkhill Steading situated on the right hand side.
