Description
Description
Quarter House is an attractive C Listed Victorian baronial lodge with a turret, dating from the 19th century. The house offers comfortable and modern accommodation across three floors and has been upgraded by the current owners. The property is elevated, facing due south, with views over its own grounds to the hills beyond. There are fine period features throughout, such as decorative cornicing, high ceilings, wall panelling, window shutters, and sash-and-case windows.
The front door is situated on the south side of the house within the turret, where there is a vestibule that opens into a welcoming hallway. The sitting room is a wonderful space with southerly views. It has a wood-burning stove for warmth in the winter months and is a great room for entertaining. A music room/study also leads off the main hall, with the formal dining room linking the main hallway with the kitchen, where there is both a sitting area and an area for everyday family dining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary units, with additional walk in larder, an AGA and underfloor heating, as part of the extensive limestone floor. Off the kitchen is the rear entrance hallway accessing the garden and a laundry room/cloakroom with storage, WC and sink. Running along the back of the house is a further rear hallway with a separate WC.
The first floor is accessed by a staircase from the main hallway. The principal bedroom faces south, with wonderful views, and is accessed from the turret. There is a range of built-in wardrobes and a dressing table with a hidden door to the luxurious en suite. Across the first floor are a further four double bedrooms, along with a family bathroom and a separate WC with a basin. Up on the second floor is a sixth bedroom with an en suite, along with an attic room which has been used as a home office.
Quarter Cottage: Situated to the west of the house, Quarter Cottage provides excellent additional self contained accommodation. There is a sitting room, fully fitted kitchen, double bedroom and shower room.
Old Stables: Situated between the cottage and the house, there is a useful workshop/garage and potting shed, as well as a large converted double height party space and games room, heated by a wood-burning stove. This building could have a variety of uses including conversion into additional accommodation (subject to local authority consents), an art studio, or a generous home working space. Together the cottage and stables form a delightful courtyard linking to the extensive formal gardens.
The impressive gardens surrounding Quarter House are generous and mature. By the back door are steps to the upper courtyards and garden. Next to the house is the lower courtyard with outdoor fireplace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The gardens include a formal pond, extensive lawns, clipped hedges, raised beds and vegetable terraces, as well as shrub and herbaceous borders, providing colour throughout the year. The wider gardens include significant mature trees and woodland boundaries. On the south side of the house is a large gravel driveway, and beyond is a further south-facing lawn overlooking the field. The field extends to around 7 acres and is accessed by a gate from the public road. The field could be used for grazing horses or livestock and is also suitable ground for growing crops.
Further land is available to the west of the house and more information can be obtained from the selling agents.

Location
Quarter House is situated just to the south of Broughton in an accessible but rural location within the beautiful surroundings of Glenholm , one of the Borders most scenic glens. Broughton is a thriving village in the Scottish Borders almost midway between the towns of Biggar and Peebles.
The village hall provides a hub for community activities including a playgroup and choral society and across the road from here there is a popular bistro and café, Laurel Bank Tea Room. The village is also home to a commercial garage and primary school as well as Broughton Brewery, a craft brewery established in 1979. The local community was awarded a grant from the Scottish Land Fund to buy the village shop, Broughton Stores, and it reopened in the summer of 2019. The towns of Biggar and Peebles offer a wider range of professional services as well as secondary schools, supermarkets and a variety of sports facilities. They are also host to a number of theatre and music clubs.
Broughton is situated on the A701, so has good road links to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the south. There is a public bus service between Biggar and Peebles, and Edinburgh International Airport is about 34 miles away. The Caledonian Sleeper service calls at Carstairs Junction station (15.5 miles) providing a useful railway link to and from London.
The local area provides an abundance of outdoor sporting opportunities with exceptional hill walking and mountain biking on the 7 Stanes. There is shooting and fishing to let locally, and the spa at Stobo Castle and Dawyck Botanic Garden are a short drive away. Furthermore, the area has been immortalised in the writings of John Buchan. The John Buchan Way passes a short distance from the property as it winds its way over the hills from Peebles to Broughton.
In his book 'A History of Peeblesshire' James Walter Buchan was moved to comment: ‘There are many glens like Glenholm in the Borders. They are all beautiful but Glenholm takes pride of place, because of a certain grace and setting, it is perfect in form'.
