The property offers an attractive three bedroom farmhouse requiring modernisation, plus a useful range of modern and traditional farm buildings, and a productive mix of arable land, pasture and grazing ground, along with several areas of amenity woodland and rough grazing.
Duncan Barrie, a partner with Galbraith, said: “The sale of Westwood Farm offers an excellent opportunity to acquire an attractive, versatile farm in a private position in the pretty hamlet of Houndwood in rural Berwickshire.
“There is good potential for the purchaser to expand on a variety of agricultural, sporting, natural capital, or environmental interests at Westwood Farm, or to develop some of the buildings in a variety of ways, if desired and subject to the necessary planning consents.
“The farm is well located with excellent access onto the A1, combining a highly desirable and scenic rural setting with easy access to local towns and villages, while Edinburgh is about an hour to the north and the farm is less than 15 minutes from the English Border.”
The traditional stone-built farmhouse requires modernisation and refurbishment throughout but offers excellent potential to create a spacious and characterful family home accompanied by a useful range of modern and traditional farm buildings.
The land is bisected by the A1 and the Eye Water, with the majority of the farmland extending north from the farmhouse, while the land in Lot 2 is situated to the south of the A1, accessed via a shared private road.
The village of Reston is approximately four miles to the southeast, while the coastal town of Eyemouth is about eight miles offering a good range of amenities, as well as primary and secondary schooling. The historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is 13.5 miles to the southeast.
