A striking late Victorian mansion house, set within 2.5 acres and complemented by its own gate lodge – Nether Soonhope House is a trophy house of Peebles with outstanding views of the Tweed Valley hills set within an excellent location just a short-walk from the bustling centre of Peebles.

Approached from a tarmac driveway leading to a wide gravel sweep the property sits in a generous enclosed plot of close to three acres. Owned by the current family since the 1970s the property is presented to market in wonderful condition having been loving cared for and conserved over the years. The property is rich in key period features throughout melding alongside carefully thought-out modern upgrades to enhance and improve energy efficiency.

The main house boasts six large bedrooms over three principal floors. Entered from a large vestibule into a wide entrance hall there are three large reception rooms each with garden views, a generous dining kitchen with conservatory and a guest WC. The house offers flexible family living with classical proportions, high ceilings, ornate cornicing and two open fireplaces. Completing the ground floor are a number of ancillary rooms providing capacious storage, garaging and a laundry room.

The first floor offers four generous double bedrooms – the principal boasting an ensuite bathroom – each with leafy views over the mature wraparound gardens. Completing the first floor is a large family bathroom with bath and shower, separate WC and ample storage closets.

The second floor comprises two good sized double bedrooms, bathroom and an extremely useful reception room which could easily serve as a seventh bedroom space if required.

Externally the property is bathed in sunlight due to its south-facing position, the gardens are mostly laid to lawn with ample specimen trees, rhododendrons and deep herbaceous borders – the remnants of a large vegetable garden are enclosed within high yew & beech hedging offering incoming, green-fingered purchasers a wonderful chance to cultivate and grow produce. There are two single garages, an array of outbuildings and a glass greenhouse too.

The property also benefits from a cosy one-bedroom lodge by the entrance gates; the lodge serves as excellent additional accommodation for guests or could be utilised as a useful buy-to-let to generate income.
