Black Barony Home Farm is a hidden gem.
From its high vantage point, this traditional detached 5 bed property, plus 2 bed barn conversion, enjoys exceptional views over the surrounding Peeblesshire hills. Elevated above the village of Eddleston, only ten minutes from Peebles and forty minutes from Edinburgh, this home offers privacy and seclusion whilst being within easy travelling distance of essential services and amenities. The property is nestled sympathetically in its idyllic rural setting. Alongside the formal garden surrounding the house, it boasts a further 8.6 acres of native woodland and 4 acres of traditional wildflower meadow which was sown 15 years ago and is a haven for flora and fauna.
A much-loved family home, the ground floor of Black Barony Home Farm provides a generous area of flexible and easy to live in space. The property has an abundance of natural interior light and with doors leading to the garden from two of the public rooms and sunroom, there is a natural flow between the inside and outside. Whilst the open plan drawing room/dining room is an obvious entertaining space, there are lots of nooks to escape to for some quiet time. A room over the garage is currently used as a home office. This is a stylish, tastefully designed retreat that is comfortable and cosy; its interior having evolved over the 20 years that the current owners have lived there.
A hard tennis court separates the main property from a delightful 2 bed barn conversion. Accommodation includes a sitting room with adjoining kitchen, two double bedrooms and shower room with workshop/stables below. This provides accommodation for guests, extended family living, or alternatively a source of income generation as a holiday let.

Area Insights
Black Barony Home Farm enjoys an elevated hilltop position, minutes from the village of Eddleston. Founded circa 1785, Eddleston Village is set where the Eddleston Water meets the Longcote Burn and the Dean Burn. Most of the central village, including three quaint old bridges fall within the local Conservation Area. The traditional Horseshoe Inn, central to the village, offers excellent dining and accommodation as a small hotel. The luxurious Cringletie Country House Hotel is also nearby.
Peebles lies 10 minutes away by car. A thriving country town, Peebles has all the amenities one would expect with excellent independent retailers and service providers adding plenty to the mix. There are two national supermarkets in Peebles and some truly fantastic local suppliers such as Cocoa Black Chocolatiers, Forsyth’s of Peebles Butcher, Ross Dougal Fishmongers and Coltman’s Kitchen & Deli. There is a list of useful links below that might be of interest. Peebles also offers several medical practices, dentists, a library, art galleries and a museum. Schooling is well regarded in the immediate area with a choice of four Primary Schools and Peebles High School. Private schooling is available in Edinburgh and several of these schools offer bus services from Edinburgh to outlying areas.
The area around Peebles has many attractions to explore like the medieval stronghold of Neidpath Castle, Traquair House or the gardens of Kailzie or Dawyck. The area offers some fantastic sporting pursuits including cycling, bowls, curling, golf, hill walking and fishing on the River Tweed, arguably the most famous salmon river in the world. In general, the Borders provides excellent riding facilities with Kailzie Equestrian offering livery and excellent hacking opportunities. There are also a number of local point to points and the annual Peebles Beltane Week. Glentress, just outside Peebles is one of the 7 Stanes world class mountain bike venues, bringing the Tweed Love Festival to the area annually.
The A703 offers swift and easy access up to Edinburgh and for those not wanting to negotiate the Edinburgh traffic there is a handy park and ride facility at Straiton. Edinburgh Airport is very easily accessed around the Edinburgh by-pass.
