Set within private gardens and approached off the main street, this hidden gem enjoys a peaceful setting with views across the Cheviot Hills and landmark Peniel Heugh.

Susan Guthrie, handling the sale on behalf of Galbraith, said, “Inchdarnie House is one of those rare properties that combines history and charm in a sought after village location.

“It will be of interest to a wide range of buyers due to its versatility of layout, suiting those looking for a substantial family home, multi-generational living, or even space to work from home.”

The property, which has undergone extensive renovation and requires some decoration blends original period character with exceptional potential for modern family living.

Inside, a grand reception hallway welcomes visitors with ornate plasterwork, an open fireplace and a sweeping timber staircase, illuminated by a beautiful double height window. Three south facing reception rooms – two with working fires – feature bay windows, intricate cornices and original working shutters.

The dining kitchen retains its traditional charm with a working gas Aga and scope to extend into the adjacent utility room, creating a large open-plan space. The layout also incorporates former butler’s quarters, a boot/boiler room, and internal access to the garage. A secondary staircase leads to a flexible additional bedroom or office space.

Upstairs, seven spacious bedrooms offer versatile accommodation, with three enjoying far reaching southerly views. The principal bedroom features a period fireplace and bay window, while another benefits from an adjoining dressing room suitable for conversion to an en suite. Two bathrooms serve the upper floor, with an additional WC on the ground level.

The mature gardens, mainly laid to lawn with fruit trees and established borders, provide privacy and ample space for outdoor entertaining.
