About
* OPEN VIEWINGS SATURDAY THE 19TH OF SEPTEMBER 2026 BETWEEN 1PM - 2:45PM - NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY * Glenrath Hope is a truly special rural property, occupying an enviable and exceptionally private position at the head of the beautiful Manor Valley, surrounded by open countryside and uninterrupted views across the rolling hills.
With no immediate neighbours, the property offers a rare sense of peace, privacy and seclusion, with the outlook extending across the surrounding landscape where sheep and wildlife are the only company.
The property also has a fascinating history.
The original Bothy was built as a Shepherd's cottage, with a date stone above the former entrance bearing the date 1824 and the name ‘James Burnett of Barns'.
This has a particularly interesting connection to John Buchan's historical thriller John Burnett of Barns, which is set in this part of the Scottish Borders.
The surrounding Manor Valley is itself an area rich in history, with the remains of an ancient Iron Age settlement visible on the hillside above Glenrath Burn.
Approached by a private, unmade road extending approximately 1.5 miles from Glenrath Farm, the property sits within approximately 2.9 acres of grounds and enjoys an idyllic countryside setting, yet remains within easy reach of the historic market town of Peebles, approximately eight miles away.
The detached house has been significantly extended and is complemented by the original Bothy, together with a range of substantial outbuildings, creating an unusually versatile property with considerable scope for modern country living, home working, hobbies or a small rural enterprise.
It is the setting that truly sets Glenrath Hope apart - a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a peaceful country home or rural retreat where privacy, space, history and spectacular open views are at the heart of everyday life.
