DESCRIPTIONNetherfield is a substantial detached bungalow, which sits within the small readily accessible hamlet of Upper Blainslie on approx. just under 2 acres of ground, including a good sized and very private mature garden, a paddock and stabling. Whilst the idyllic rural location and ground could undoubtedly appeal to those with an interest in equestrian pursuits, equally, subject to investigation, the position of the land may offer potential as a future investment to sell on as a building plot or plots.

NETHERFIELD Upper Blainslie

The house itself is in need of considerable refurbishment, but offers well proportioned accommodation with fantastic potential, and is presently fitted with oil fired heating as well as double glazing. Whilst the bank of trees bordering the garden provide a screen and privacy, removal of some to the rear would open up the stunning views, currently enjoyed from the land set to the side where the paddock and stables are located.

The location is rural yet accessible, with the A68, a major trunk route North and South bound, just a few minutes drive from the house. The small hamlet of Blainslie enjoys an active sense of community and has much to offer those with a penchant for the country lifestyle, yet who need to be within comfortable reach of town and city amenities. Edinburgh city centre is readily commutable, whilst Border towns such as Lauder and Melrose are the nearest for day to day facilities. The property is situated within the heart of the Lauderdale Hunt, and the Berwickshire and also the Buccleuch Hunts are within close proximity.

Viewing comes highly recommended.
