Property Description

Elmbank is a distinctive 1920s home, admired for its preserved Arts & Crafts character and careful upkeep. Tastefully decorated and well presented, the house blends period charm with modern comfort. Set on the edge of the village, it offers the best of both worlds—close to local amenities yet enjoying a peaceful outlook across open countryside.

A gated private driveway leads to the front, providing ample parking along with a carport and timber garage. The front garden is attractively planted, with mature trees and hedging that give shelter and privacy. Pathways to either side guide you to the main garden at the rear, a quiet and secluded outdoor space.

Inside, the ground floor flows naturally from the central hall. A generous lounge and dining area run the length of the house, enhanced by bay windows, lofty 10’ ceilings, original cornicing, and a handsome wood-burning stove. Off the hallway are a cloakroom with WC, a Butler’s pantry, and a wine store. The kitchen, fitted with country-style cabinetry and an AGA, forms a welcoming family hub with room for informal dining and links directly to a large utility/scullery with access to the patio and gardens.

Upstairs, a striking studio extension was created in the 1970s, with panoramic windows designed to capture the views. Originally an artist’s studio, it now makes a bright retreat, equally suitable as a bedroom, snug, or home office. From the landing, a choice of well-proportioned, restful bedrooms are accessed, each with individual character, feature fireplaces, and spectacular countryside outlooks. Bedroom two benefits from a Jack-and-Jill ensuite, while the family bathroom lies across the landing.

The gardens are a highlight—private, level, and lovingly maintained. They wrap around the house, offering peaceful corners for relaxation along with a large patio, expansive lawn, and established borders of roses, shrubs, and perennials. Additional features include a potting shed, a useful outbuilding for storage, and a colourful wildflower bed.

Key Features:

• Elegantly maintained period home with timeless features
• Unique Art Studio on the first floor with wraparound views of the countryside.
• Three generous double bedrooms.
• Two large bathrooms (one jack & jill en-suite) and one W/C.
• Large drawing room spanning the full-length of the property.
• Cozy Farmhouse style breakfasting kitchen with AGA.
• Private and mature gardens with laid-lawn, herbaceous borders and several specimen trees.

Positioned within 7 miles of the thriving town of Kelso, Town Yetholm offers wonderful countryside village living with an array of local amenities within the locale. There is a well-regarded primary school, general store, post-office, butcher/deli, pub/hotel, garage & petrol station.
