The Hollies, Stainrigg Mains Farm, Coldstream, Scottish Borders, TD12 4LZ

Property Description
The Hollies is a wonderful 4 bedroom family home offering well presented accommodation, attractive garden grounds and fantastic equestrian facilities set in the heart of the popular Berwickshire Countryside. Approached up a private driveway off the B6461 to a large parking area in front of the house and positioned over two principal floors. The property offers two public rooms and 4 bedrooms and is beautifully presented throughout. The large kitchen with dining area is positioned at the back of the house and has an excellent range of modern units, appliances, and ample space for a large dining table. Directly off the kitchen is a large utility room which in turn leads to a boot room.
The Hollies has an attractive and well established garden to the front with an orchard and mature trees, a large patio with raised beds to the rear and a further patio off the boot room which is ideal for alfresco dining. The land of the property surrounds the house and is either accessed from the property or via a separate vehicular driveway. Both lead to the 225 square meter agricultural shed which houses 4 large loose boxes and a pony stable all with automatic water drinkers and rubber matting, a wash bay, a secure tack room and a feed room. The grazing is flat and well fenced and provides about 25 large round bales of haylage each year. Water has been taken to the fence line and it would be easy to connect automatic water troughs. There is also a 30 m x 45 m paddock that sits behind the house and beside the stable block that would make a fantastic outdoor all weather arena. There is easy access to off-road and quiet country road hacking.
