We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Nestled within the stunning Scottish Borders countryside, Kaimhouse Lodge presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a characterful detached home offering space, flexibility and a truly enviable rural lifestyle.
From the moment you arrive, the property exudes charm and individuality.
The welcoming porch leads directly into the entrance hall and immediately creates a sense of space, leading to accommodation that has been thoughtfully arranged to suit modern family living whilst retaining the feel of a traditional country lodge.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive 22ft dual-aspect living room, a beautifully proportioned space flooded with natural light and offering ample room for both relaxing and entertaining.
French doors connect seamlessly to the delightful conservatory, creating the perfect spot to enjoy the changing seasons whilst taking in the surrounding countryside.
Adjacent to the living room sits a separate dining room, ideal for more formal occasions or family gatherings, while the kitchen offers a practical layout with easy access to the main living accommodation.
The ground floor provides two generous double bedrooms, making the property particularly attractive for those seeking flexible accommodation or multi-generational living.
The principal ground floor bedroom benefits from en-suite facilities, excellent proportions and attractive bay windows, while an additional family bathroom adds everyday practicality.
Ascending to the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress with two further double bedrooms together with a dedicated office.
This superb home office provides an ideal environment for remote working, allowing owners to embrace countryside living without compromising on modern working requirements.
The first floor also benefits from two sizeable store rooms, offering exceptional storage or potential for future adaptation, subject to the necessary permissions.
One of Kaimhouse Lodge's greatest strengths is its versatility.
The layout naturally lends itself to a variety of lifestyles, whether accommodating a growing family, providing guest accommodation, creating hobby rooms or establishing an enviable work-from-home environment.
Throughout the home there is an abundance of built-in storage, with multiple store rooms on both floors ensuring practical day-to-day living without sacrificing living space.
However, what truly sets Kaimhouse Lodge apart is not simply the accommodation—it is the lifestyle on offer.
Imagine beginning each day surrounded by rolling countryside, enjoying peaceful walks straight from your doorstep, cycling quiet country lanes, or simply relaxing in the garden listening to birdsong rather than traffic.
Yet despite its wonderfully rural setting, the property remains conveniently located for commuting to Edinburgh and the wider Central Belt, making it ideal for buyers seeking the best of both worlds.
Whether you're looking to escape the city, raise a family in healthier surroundings, enjoy retirement in tranquil surroundings or simply find a home that offers space to breathe, Kaimhouse Lodge represents a rare opportunity to embrace a slower pace of life without compromising on comfort or convenience.
Accommodation comprises: Welcoming entrance hall Spacious 22ft living room Conservatory Separate dining room Kitchen Four double bedrooms Dedicated home office Family bathroom Separate WC Multiple internal store rooms Approximate internal floor area of 1,918 sq.ft.
(178.3 sq.m.) A home to experience, not simply to view.
Kaimhouse Lodge offers a unique opportunity to exchange the ordinary for an exceptional countryside lifestyle in one of the Scottish Borders' most desirable settings.
