The village of Broughton offers a tearoom, bistro, pub, garage, art gallery, church, bowling green, tennis courts and village hall, and is a 5 minute drive away. The former market towns of Peebles and Biggar have numerous cafes, restaurants, bars, a wide variety of speciality shops, supermarkets, sports facilities and recreational parks. There is primary schooling available in the village of Broughton which is also in the catchment area for Peebles High School, with a large number of private schools to choose from in Edinburgh.

The local area has a range of all year round outdoor sporting and recreational activities. A short distance from the property is the River Tweed for which fishing permits are available. These activities also include excellent golf courses found at Biggar, Carnwath and Lanark, and hill walking and trout fishing on the Clyde.
