The Whitehall Estate is a secluded country estate on the banks of the Whiteadder Water with fabulous views south across the valley to the Cheviot Hills in the distance. At its centre is New Whitehall House built close to the site of a substantial country house demolished in 2015. It is an estate diverse in its extent and scope. Not only does it include traditional elements such as productive arable land, woodland, thoroughbred breeding and fishing but other income streams as well, such as let commercial property, and holiday accommodation. There is also potential to create additional income opportunities by utilising existing planning consent to develop additional holiday accommodation (Scottish Borders planning reference 08/01681/FUL), static caravan plots stabling etc and housing within the estate (Scottish Borders Council planning reference 9910237FUL). Whether it is lifestyle, sporting, farming, tourism development, woodland management, re-wilding or the concept of natural capital, The Whitehall Estate offers a multitude of opportunities to buyers.

New Whitehall House is a bespoke designed (architect certificated) south facing contemporary country house which provides extensive family accommodation and, by virtue of its open aspect, benefits from a wonderfully light and bright atmosphere. Of particular note are the full-width, open plan living/dining/kitchen accommodation and kitchen with its feature fireplace/stove at its centre, the well-proportioned bedroom and bathroom accommodation, the hall and staircase, the upstairs reception room and the office (rateable value £4,500) which also runs the full width of the house. Until retirement, the current owner of the estate ran a thriving business from this office. The house has fantastic views to the south over the Tweed Valley to the Cheviot Hills and English border, not least from the balcony that runs most of the length of the house. Around the house are the paddocks; close by are the stables. Planning permission has been granted for a new stable block and indoor school.
(See floor plans for room layout and dimensions.)

Holiday lodges, static caravan pitches and commercial premises.

Set apart from New Whitehall House are the three extremely comfortable, timber clad, holiday lodges which generate a useful income. They occupy secluded woodland positions high above the Whiteadder Water and have spectacular views across the river. All have been finished to an exceptionally high standard with open-plan living accommodation, verandas and, in the case of The Lodge, the main bedroom suite has a fantastic balcony and a wood burning stove. They are very popular, with large gardens with privacy, generating a large number of bookings and repeat bookings. Planning permission for the estate includes four more lodges of similar type and a tennis court.

There is also planning permission for 102 static caravan plots in the woodland either side of the north drive and some mobile caravans. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop a really progressive business that will contribute to the income stream. Beside the west drive is “The Laundry”, a commercial building that is let successfully to a local business and, which, produces a good income (rateable value £6,800).
