Farm for sale

Grey Peel is a wonderfully secluded Borders farm with a superb main house, farm cottage and fabulous views to the English Border. Grey Peel sits in an elevated and private position just south of the historic Royal Burgh of Jedburgh and close to the Cheviot Hills. It is amongst some of the most beautiful and varied countryside in the Borders. Jedburgh is rich in history with a 12th century Abbey, Ferniehirst Castle and Queen Mary's house where she sought refuge on her way north.

It is a particularly impressive and expansive property which was restored and rebuilt by the present owners. Encircled by 138 acres of land, it is approached by a private Beech lined tarmac drive. With French, Italian and English Country House influences, there are many period features such as, stone staircases, original antique oak doors and fireplaces. Doors from the Garden Room, Library and Principal Suite lead into the Italian Garden, a sun trap with Haddonstone Dolphin fountain and stone surround rescued from one of the old stables.

The sale also includes Flax Cottage which lies beside the main driveway. It is surrounded by lawn and borders with a delightful little garden which has a very special atmosphere described as having 'good Karma'.
