****lot 1 - Appletreehall House, Appletreehall, Hawick****
***White Cottage available by separate negotiation***
Appletreehall House is a charming four - bedroom stone - built detached house
situated in the small but popular Borders village of Appletreehall, around one
and a half miles from the principal Borders town of Hawick.
South facing and dating from 1782 the house has been sympathetically renovated
throughout including the retention of numerous attractive period features.
Offering deceptively spacious family accommodation with a most attractive
outlook, it provides versatile living inside and out.
Occupying approximately an acre of garden ground, the house is conveniently
located with Hawick as the closest town with an array of amenities, and with
the A7 readily available, providing excellent transport links, the property’s
idyllic village situation also provides numerous nearby walks and cycle routes
for those who love the outdoors.
Internally, the accommodation lies across two levels and comprises four
bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room, a family bathroom, a sitting room,
a dining room, a dining kitchen, a sun room, a utility room, a downstairs
shower room and a boot room. With ample storage throughout, including stairs
to a large attic, part of which is used as an office, there is oil fired
central heating, woodburning stoves in the sun room and sitting room plus open
fires in the dining room and bedroom two, creating a warm and comfortable
home.
The grounds extend to around one acre with generous gravelled driveway parking
for the main house and a double bay carport. The established gardens are a joy
with extensive lawn area to the south - facing front garden, with well stocked
borders offering a wealth of colour. The garden to the rear is large and
predominantly laid to lawn with an abundance of fruit trees. A well laid out
vegetable garden to the side is complimented with a soft fruit area which has
been caged. There is also a chicken run, a double loose box stable, with wood
store, and a further shed which is utilised as a workshop with power and
lighting as well as two greenhouses.
Given the extent of the garden there is potential to develop, subject to the
necessary permissions.
In summary, Appletreehall House is a property that offers a little bit of
everything.
Approximately three quarters of a mile from the A7 and fifteen and a half
miles to the railway station at Tweedbank the property is conveniently located
for commuting, with Edinburgh and Carlisle easily accessible, along with most
of the Borders towns as well as the Borders General Hospital on the outskirts
of Melrose.

and a half miles from Hawick, the largest of the Border towns, with a
population of over 14, 000 that lies on the banks of the River Teviot.
The town is famous for its common riding, rugby and fine cashmere companies

and the Borders Distillery all enjoying a resurgence in the town under the
banner ‘Famously Hawick’. The town also provides an extensive choice of
amenities ranging from a leisure centre, a variety of specialist independent
shops including large supermarkets, and a selection of restaurants and hotels,
mostly situated around the High Street area of town.
The annual Common Riding, which is one of the oldest Border festivals combines
the annual riding of the boundaries of the town’s common land with the
commemoration of a victory over an English raiding party in 1514. Hawick is
also well known for its rugby at Mansfield Park, home of Hawick Rugby Football
Club, plus its events in the town which include the Summer Festival and the
Hawick Reivers Festival. Local attractions include the Borders Textile

Prep School in Melrose also offers options for children between the ages two
to thirteen.
