Old Orchard Cottage, Nr Hawick, TD9 9ST

*  Equestrian Property * We are delighted to bring to the market this beautifully presented three bedroom bungalow situated in the sought after hamlet of the Old Orchard around 1.5 miles from Hawick.  Offered for sale in excellent order, this equestrian property benefits for extensive grounds extending to around 4.2 acres with seven stables, riding arena, turn out area, double garage, paddocks and field.  Internally the accommodation is tastefully decorated with a beautiful kitchen and a conservatory taking advantage of the stunning surrounding views down the Teviot Valley.

Internally, the property is entered via a porch into the hallway where there is a large storage cupboard and a two piece cloakroom.  The main formal sitting room is a large and bright room located to the front taking advantage of the stunning surrounds via double glazed patio doors out to the garden.  There is a delightful exposed stone chimney breast and a recently fitted multi fuel stove offering a cosy focal point.  The heart of this property is undoubtably the open plan living room with kitchen and dining area.  This very sociable space houses the well appointed shaker style kitchen which is beautifully presented in white floor and wall units with built in electric oven and microwave, dishwasher and full size integrated fridge and freezer.  There is a Belfast sink, freestanding island and a cream oil fired Aga which is a desirable addition.  There is also ample space in here for a dining table and chairs and sofas making it a very usable space for day to day living.  Located off this room is the conservatory which is situated to the side and offers a beautiful outlook down the valley towards the Minto Hills.  This is double glazed and has under floor heating and doors out from both sides to the immaculately tended gardens.  From the kitchen, another door leads through to a handy utility room where the oil boiler is located and also the electric meter and switchgear.  There is single bowl sink and space and plumbing for a washing machine in addition to an excellent range of storage facilities.

There are three double bedrooms all generously proportioned with built in wardrobes and light fresh décor.  The family bathroom is a four piece room with bath, corner shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally the property is set in a plot of around 4.2 acres within the stunning Borders countryside with breathtaking views down the valley and beyond towards Minto and Denholm.  In addition to the well tended garden grounds/patios, there is a separate field with mains water troughs currently housing some cattle and two separate pony paddocks.  These are all bounded by recently erected electric fencing.  Also within the grounds are seven timber stables (three with rubber matting), tack room, hay store and rug room.  For equestrian enthusiasts, there is also a 30m x 50m riding arena with silicone sand and rubber crumb surface and a woodchip turn out area.  A drive to the rear offers parking for several vehicles in addition to the double garage with electric door which houses the oil tank.
