Valley Cottage is a charming three-bedroom detached property, sitting on the edge of the historic Glen Estate, by Traquair. Offered to the market for the first time since it was built, the property allows peaceful rural living in a small community of homes which once served Glen House.

The property comprises a generous sitting room, dining kitchen, second reception room/third bedroom, a family bathroom and a large sunroom. The first floor comprises two double bedrooms each with views down the valley.

Externally Valley Cottage sits in a generous plot, mostly laid to lawn. There are several stone built outbuildings for a variety of uses and a separate vegetable garden and orchard. Reached by track, circa one kilometre from the main estate road, Valley Cottage offers incoming purchasers’ privacy in abundance with stunning countryside surroundings.

Residents have the added benefits of a residents only ‘Joiners Gym’ - subject to a modest fee - and Village Hall which can be hired for special occasions.

Glen Estate is a farm and residential community hidden in the hills of the Scottish Borders where a natural refuge of 18th century designed landscape of parkland and woods sweeps up to heather moorland on all sides. In the heart of the estate stands the Scots Baronial masterpiece Glen House, which is still retained by the family which it was built for.

The House, the farm and the cottages were built in the 19th century by the Scottish industrialist, Charles Tennant. Few new buildings have been introduced to the estate since and the result is unspoilt surroundings, with easy connection back to the wider central Scottish Borders.

Resident’s of Glen Estate will be subject to an annual management fee – further details can be provided on request. Note that separate grazing land for horses is also available to rent by separate negotiation.
