Linton Burnfoot Farm presents a unique opportunity for investors and renovation enthusiasts, situated in the scenic Scottish Borders. Nestled at the base of Linton Hill and bordered by the tranquil Kale Water, this expansive property spans approximately 12.95 hectares (31.99 acres) and boasts a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s, along with an impressive array of traditional farm buildings ripe for repurposing or enhancement. The property features well-defined outdoor spaces including a private walled garden, an all-weather tennis court, and remnants of a previous outdoor arena, all offering significant potential for invigorating renovations.
The main residence exudes period charm with spacious rooms that showcase original architectural details, making it an ideal canvas for modern updates. Inside, potential buyers will find three reception areas highlighted by wood-burning stoves, a sunroom with garden views, and a generous breakfasting kitchen featuring an oil-fired AGA. The layout comprises four bedrooms on the first floor—each offering ample space—and additional accommodation on the second level that could be transformed into personalized retreats.
The extensive range of agricultural buildings includes garages and storage facilities that could serve multiple purposes depending on planning permissions. Notably, there is also a detached derelict cottage on-site poised for redevelopment opportunities. Located just 1.5 miles from Morebattle and within reach of Kelso’s amenities, this property combines rural tranquillity with convenient access to community services.
Investors will appreciate the potential for further development subject to obtaining necessary consents, alongside a Clawback Agreement that allows future owners to navigate enhancements responsibly while considering financial implications during any prospective planning approval processes.
