An attractive, family home set in generous, mature grounds extending to around five acres with an original stone steading, has been brought to market.
Ettrick Hall, presented for sale by Rettie, is surrounded by the stunning countryside of the Ettrick Valley.
Ettrick Hall offers well-proportioned accommodation over two floors, with wonderful period features including ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and wooden shutters.
To the front of the ground floor are two elegant reception rooms, as well as a bright conservatory leading to the garden.
To the rear of the house is a kitchen with modern fitted units, Belfast sink and Leisure range cooker, an adjacent utility room and downstairs bathroom.
Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Accessed via a separate stair is a study which could serve as a fourth bedroom.
Externally, the grounds extend to just over five acres and includes a mature garden with pond, lawn and attractive specimen trees, and grazing in four enclosures. To the front of the house is a gravel sweep parking area.
The original stone-built steading, reputedly the birthplace of James Hogg, The Ettrick Shepherd, has a games room (ideal as a home office or studio), six loose boxes and feed room, as well as a workshop and a courtyard, where the current owner has a polytunnel.
The steading has separate road access and previously had consent for conversion to four dwellings, though this has now lapsed. Close to the steading is a modern open-faced barn.
Ettrick Hall is located in the pretty rural village of Ettrick, in the heart of the Ettrick Valley, the birthplace of the poet and novelist James Hogg, The Ettrick Shepherd, who was reputedly born in the steading of Ettrick Hall.
