Colislinn SteadingsNewmill On Slitrig, Hawick, Roxburghshire, TD9 9UQ

Colislinn Steadings is situated in a small hamlet in the Scottish borders yet within easy reach of all the amenities available in neighbouring towns. The original stone and pitched slate roof buildings included a mill and are thought to date back to 1772. Together they make up an adaptable property with plenty of character and potential.
The main house provides comfortable living accommodation most of which is on the ground floor. There is a centrally located entrance hall with glazed doors to the rear of the house. Two rooms, both dual aspect and currently used as a study and a dining room lead to the kitchen. The country style kitchen is fitted with shaker base units under a solid wood work surface and is spacious enough for a large kitchen table and also includes a double Belfast sink, an electric range cooker, an additional wood burning stove with hot plate and oven and a walk-in pantry with wall mounted storage cupboards and shelving. The accommodation at this end of the house is completed by a separate utility room with access to the rear of the property and a wet room with shower and WC. A large sitting room is at the other end of the house, featuring a double height ceiling with exposed beams, a wood burning stove, dual aspect windows and a glazed door to the garden. There are two large bedrooms in this part of the property that share a bathroom.

The annexe is adjacent to the house and has a separate entrance to the side opening into a utility/boot room with a useful wet room with shower and WC. Beyond the utility/boot room is a spacious open plan living room and kitchen area. Glazed double doors open to the front and stairs lead to two large double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. This is an excellent space for guests and has the potential to be a holiday rental.

To the front of the property is a driveway with room for several cars. The main garden is lawned and to the rear of the house with an enclosed vegetable area including a Hartley brick and glass greenhouse. There is another wooded area containing garden plants and shrubs that could be redeveloped between the garages and the steel portal barn.

Connected to the house is the former mill to which the mill wheel is attached on the gable end. Internally, it is a very generous space reaching into the eaves with potential for a variety of uses. It is currently used as a workshop and includes three separate store rooms and has double doors allowing vehicle access. Opposite the mill building there is a double garage, dog kennels and more storage.

The stock fenced grazing land is on either side of the property and is divided into three areas with the largest paddock to the north. There are two further paddocks to the south, a small productive orchard of mixed fruit trees and a useful steel portal barn with electricity and water connections.

The Slitrig Water borders the full length of the property on the eastern side while the B6399 forms the western boundary and takes you by a scenic route south to Newcastleton and to the larger town of Hawick 3 miles to the north.
