A beautiful conversion of a 16th century building is now for sale.
Presented to the market by Galbraith, the Steading is an impressive and exceptionally well designed steading conversion which provides generous, bright and well appointed family sized accommodation in the Scottish Borders.
The building dates from 1705 and the conversion with extension was completed in 2005.
The easily managed accommodation is predominantly south facing and makes the most of the far reaching vistas.
A particularly fine feature of the house is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room which leads into the family room. The kitchen has been fitted with solid wood floor and wall units with an island and a four oven Aga.
The comfortable family room at The Steading
Outside the French doors, leading off the kitchen, is a sheltered and paved terrace which provides an ideal spot for al fresco dining.
The house is surrounded by a charming garden with lawns to the front. Behind the house is the sizeable rear garden that features an attractive shrubbery which has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide an interesting focal point.
Beyond the garden is a fenced paddock (1.23 acres).
To the east of the house is a gully that is partially wooded and has the Boonraw Burn, a tributary of the River Teviot, running through. An ornamental pond fed by the Boonraw Burn has been developed to provide an interesting water feature and diverse habitat for wildlife.
The open kitchen area
The Steading is in an excellent rural, yet accessible, location a short distance to the north of Hawick. The house enjoys extensive south easterly outlooks over Teviotdale to the Liddlesdale Hills and Ruberslaw.
Hawick, with a population of around 15,000, is an important Borders town which has grown up at the junction of the Teviot and the Slitrig rivers.
