Edrom Newton Farmhouse is a house of great charm and character. Dating from the late 18th century/early 19th century, it is typified by its pavilions and Venetian windows. It is a substantial, detached, south facing house in a private position in the centre of its own garden and grounds. Although in need of some modernisation, it provides extensive family accommodation and, by virtue of its open aspect, benefits from a wonderfully light and bright atmosphere. Of particular note is the well-proportioned bedroom and bathroom accommodation and the sizeable reception rooms, which allows the house to be flexible in its configuration, depending on how the annex is utilised – either as part of the main house or as a holiday let. (See floor plans for room layout and dimensions.) The attic space (5 rooms – currently accessed by Ramsay ladder), subject to obtaining the necessary consents, has terrific scope to increase the available accommodation.
Gardens and Grounds
Stone gate piers stand either side of the entrance and drive that terminates in a sizeable parking area at the front door. Much of the garden is wooded, with lawns bordered by mature trees. The garden includes a semi-walled garden and has huge scope to create something very special. The sheltered paddock lying to the south of the house extends to approximately 4.2 acres.
Outbuildings
At the bottom of the drive is a stone garage; adjoining the house (in the west wing) is a large storeroom, ideal for storing garden equipment.
Edrom Newton Farmhouse is situated in lovely countryside just to the north east of Duns. The house has a private setting and has all the benefits of a rural lifestyle whilst being only 11 miles from the A1 and the main line railway station at Berwick-upon-Tweed. These excellent communication links to both north and south place it firmly within commuting distance of Edinburgh and Newcastle. From Berwick-upon-Tweed there is a fast main line train service to Edinburgh and London with the journey times being approximately 45 minutes and 3¾ hours respectively. There are regular scheduled flights from both Edinburgh and Newcastle international airports to a number of UK and European destinations.
Berwickshire is a genuinely rural area with a low population and a wonderful quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare. The countryside surrounding Edrom Newton is famous for its beauty and its wealth of sporting and recreational opportunities. It is therefore an ideal base for those who enjoy all outdoor pursuits. Berwick-upon-Tweed and Duns, are the principal towns in the area with a good range of local services and both primary and secondary schooling. The nearby coastlines of south east Scotland and north east England are exceptional and have wonderful beaches, links golf courses and superb opportunities for walking, sailing, surfing, wildlife and diving enthusiasts.
