Description
Cammerlaws Farmhouse is a charming stone built house which lies in a sheltered and peaceful position on the southern side of the farm away from the farm buildings. Constructed of red sandstone and lying beneath a pitched slate roof, the house provides comfortable family accommodation over two floors as shown on the accompanying photos and floorplans. The house has many original features typical of its period including stripped timber floors, sash and case windows, working shutters and cornicing. The accommodation on the ground floor flows from the welcoming front porch and once inside the sitting room and dining room are situated on either side of the hallway. Both reception rooms have open fireplaces and a southerly aspect overlooking the garden and beyond to the surrounding farmland. Of particular note is the sitting room which has a cosy feel to it and benefits from a bay window and window seat. To the rear of the house there is a breakfasting kitchen, practical utility room and rear door which is used as the day to day entrance. Completing the accommodation on this level is the farm office and a shower room. Close to the front door, timber stairs rise to the first floor where there are four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom, which lies to the front of the house, has built in wardrobes and an enviable view over the gardens. Servicing the bedrooms is a family bathroom. Within the bathroom there is access (via a Ramsey ladder) to the loft which provides useful storage space.
Gardens and Grounds
To the front of the farmhouse there is an enclosed south facing garden set within a drystone wall providing shelter, enhancing its enjoyment during the summer months. The garden is easily maintained and is predominantly laid to lawn interspersed by mature trees and potted plants. Much of the front elevation is ivy clad with large and colourful rose bushes flanking the front door. To the rear of the house there is a further lawned area and driveway with space for a number of cars. Close to the back door stands a stone built garage. To the front of the house there is a gated driveway which sweeps round to the front door.
Cammerlaws Cottages
Situated on the right hand side of the farm drive close to the entrance there are three, two storey farm cottages lying beneath pitched slate roofs. The accommodation on the ground floor of each property comprises a sitting room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen whilst on the first floor there are two further double bedrooms. To the rear, Cottage Nos. 1 and 2 have a shared garden and cottage No.3 has its own private garden. Two of the cottages are currently occupied by farm workers while the third is occupied by a family member.
Land
Lot 1 extends to 237 acres and comprises 184 acres of arable and temporary pasture, 35 acres of permanent pasture and 3 acres of woodland. The farmland is classified as a mixture of Class 4(1) and Class 4(2) by the James Hutton Institute of Soil Research and the land lies between 200m and 220m above sea level. The soils are of the Hobkirk series which comprise brown forest soils and are derived from drifts of sandstone. The land is ideally suited for arable and permanent pastures. The majority of the fields at lot 1 have direct road access.
Location
Cammerlaws and North Hurdlaw farm sits in a scenic part of Berwickshire nestled between the heather clad Lammermuir Hills to the north and Greenlaw Moor to the south. The area is renowned for its productive farmland which is ideally suited for the production of stock and growing good crops of silage and cereals. The farm lies on the edge of Westruther, a small hamlet which has a local pub and village hall. Close by are the towns of Duns (10 miles) and Kelso (16 miles) which provide a greater variety of amenities and facilities.
Kelso, the historic county town of Roxburghshire, with Floors Castle to the north and the River Tweed flowing through, is a thriving centre, particularly geared to serving the surrounding agricultural community, country sports enthusiasts and tourists with excellent shops, schooling, recreational facilities and professional services. There is a choice of both public and private schooling available locally including a village primary school in Westruther and a high school in Earlston (15 miles). Longridge Towers, a private primary and secondary school is located close to the town of Berwick. There is a further selection of private schools in Edinburgh where all the cultural, professional and shopping facilities of a capital city can be found.
Edinburgh city centre (36 miles) is highly accessible either via the A68 through Lauderdale, or by the new Edinburgh-Borders railway which can be joined 22 miles away at Tweedbank. Berwick-upon-Tweed lies 25 miles to the east and offers a regular rail service on the main east coast line to London King’s Cross (journey time from 3 hours 40 minutes). Both Edinburgh Airport (42 miles) and Newcastle Airport (80 miles) offer a wide range of domestic, European and international flights.
The Borders is a genuinely rural area which is famed for its scenic landscapes, productive farmland and its country sports. The nearby River Tweed is one of Scotland’s finest salmon rivers, while the well managed grouse moors – the Lammermuirs – lie to the northeast and the Cheviots to the south. This is also wonderful riding country with three active hunts (Lauderdale, Buccleuch and Berwickshire) and pony clubs nearby. Kelso Racecourse is an easy drive and there are many golf courses in the area, including the picturesque 18 hole championship course at The Roxburghe and a course at Jedburgh.
The area is well served by numerous grain merchants, agricultural suppliers and livestock markets, including St Boswells (20 miles) and Wooler (33 miles). The major agricultural show, The Border Union, takes place in July at Kelso and the annual Kelso Ram Sales in September is the largest event of this type in Europe.
