A most impressive two storey villa dating from around 1800 with attractive features particularly to the main and side elevations including crow step gables and large windows taking advantage of the favoured location. The accommodation has lovely south and west facing aspects enjoying good light and fine views to the Cheviots. The property also has the benefit of established and carefully planned grounds and gardens approached by a sweeping driveway providing excellent privacy and leading to a truly impressive country farmhouse with unspoiled views over surrounding countryside to the Cheviots.

LOCATION

Lempitlaw is situated approximately five miles from Kelso and commands superb rural views. Kelso, which lies at the meeting point of the Tweed and Teviot rivers, is one of the most attractive and unspoiled towns in the Borders. Notable features are the 12th Century Abbey, the Flemish style cobbled square, Floors Castle and the old bridge across the Tweed. The town has good educational and sporting facilities and many quality shops. The area has much to offer those interested in country pursuits with Tweed fishing, National Hunt racing and walking in the nearby Cheviot Hills.

DIRECTIONS

From Kelso, take the B6352 Yetholm road for a little over one mile then turn left onto the B6396 signposted to Wooler. Approximately half mile past Easter Softlaw, turn right up the hill at the sign to Lempitlaw. After turning left travel through Lempitlaw with Eastfield approximately half a mile further on the right hand side.
