Appletreehall House is a charming four-bedroom stone-built detached house situated in the small but popular Borders village of Appletreehall, around one and a half miles from the principal Borders town of Hawick.

With ample storage throughout, including stairs to a large attic, part of which is used as an office, there is oil fired central heating, woodburning stoves in the sun room and sitting room plus open fires in the dining room and bedroom two, creating a warm and comfortable home.
The grounds extend to around one acre with generous gravelled driveway parking for the main house and a double bay carport. The established gardens are a joy with extensive lawn area to the south-facing front garden, with well stocked borders offering a wealth of colour. The garden to the rear is large and predominantly laid to lawn with an abundance of fruit trees. A well laid out vegetable garden to the side is complimented with a soft fruit area which has been caged. There is also a chicken run, a double loose box stable, with wood store, and a further shed which is utilised as a workshop with power and lighting as well as two greenhouses.
Given the extent of the garden there is potential to develop, subject to the necessary permissions.
