Goshielaw is a striking modern family home set within approximately 11 acres of grounds on the outskirts of Kelso, offering a rare combination of contemporary living, privacy and panoramic views across the Tweed Valley to the Cheviot Hills. Built by the highly regarded John Laidlaw and Sons of Jedburgh, the property provides generous living spaces, high-quality finishes and versatile facilities ideal for family life, equestrian pursuits or smallholding ventures. Previously, the property was successfully run as a luxury boarding kennels, highlighting its potential for commercial as well as private use, all within a short 10-minute drive of Kelso and with excellent access to Edinburgh and Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Approached via a sweeping driveway and elegant pillared entrance, the home opens into a welcoming reception hall with cloakroom/WC. The dining hall features oak flooring and a bay window framing open views across the gardens and paddocks towards Hume Castle. A formal drawing room with a south-facing bay window, ornate cornicing and a feature stone fireplace with woodburning stove flows seamlessly into a bright garden room with double doors, perfect for year-round use.
The generous kitchen is fitted with a central island, breakfasting area and a range cooker, opening onto a sunken family snug with doors to the rear patio. A rear hallway provides access to a home office, boot room, utility, additional cloakroom/WC and an integral double garage, with a staircase leading to a sixth bedroom or study.
Upstairs, an impressive galleried landing with an elegant seating area enjoys far-reaching views and leads to the luxurious principal suite, featuring a Juliet balcony, walk-in wardrobes and a large en-suite with a bath and shower. Four further generously proportioned double bedrooms, including a guest en-suite, are complemented by a sleek family bathroom, while abundant storage throughout ensures effortless, well-organised family living.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with woodland, a pond and paddocks to the rear and across the road, all enjoying outstanding views over the Borders countryside. Outbuildings include a large workshop and a substantial barn with four generous stables featuring hatches that allow the horses to look out towards the house. The barn also incorporates a tack room, hay store and multiple internal and external kennels. Planning permission was granted in 2023 for a 20m x 40m outdoor equestrian arena, with details available via the Scottish Borders Council public access planning portal (please note this may have lapsed by the time of purchase).
Additionally, the property offers a well-established kitchen garden with raised beds, a large greenhouse and a chicken run, making it ideal for those seeking a rural lifestyle with superb equestrian and smallholding facilities.
