Description
Lot 1: Todheugh Farm is set in an idyllic location of the Scottish Borders by the banks of the Whiteadder Water. The house sits elevated above the river and has open views over the surrounding land and countryside. The house dates from the early 1900s and has accommodation over two floors. The property would now benefit from being upgraded throughout but has a good layout and plenty of scope to extend. Surrounding the house are well stocked colourful gardens which have a variety of mature shrubs and plants. To the front of the house is a generous private driveway which leads down to the main road and there is also a garage.
Grounds and outbuildings: As well as colourful gardens Todheugh Farm also benefits from having an area of woodland which extends to about 2.1 acres. Within the woodland is a sandstone quarry. Adjacent to the house is a 2 acre paddock which forms part of the larger field (lot 2) albeit it is currently fenced to create a easily maintained paddock. There is access into the paddock from the yard.
There are a range of outbuildings at Todheugh Farm which suit a variety of agricultural uses. Beside the house are a range of stone built outhouses which include an old dairy, byre and garage. To the east is a steel framed cattle shed and machine store as well as a calving shed and tool shed.
Lot 2: Lot 2 sits to the south of the house and comprises a single block of about 29 acres. There is good access to the field via the public road through double gates. The land sits around 70-75m above sea level and has been classed by the James Hutton Institute as class 3.1.
