An eight-bedroom period mansion set directly on the border between Scotland and England has been listed for sale. Carham Estate House, located on the banks of the River Tweed, is on the market through Galbraith for offers over £1.2 million.
The property was originally built as three separate cottages before being combined into a single residence. It retains a wealth of period features, including cornicing, fireplaces, and timber joinery, and offers views over the surrounding garden and parkland.
Accommodation and grounds
Inside the main house, the accommodation includes a reception hall, drawing room, sitting room, dining room, a kitchen with walk-in larder and breakfast room, a study, conservatory, boot room, eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, and three dressing rooms.
The surrounding mature, walled gardens feature manicured lawns, rose and shrub borders, fruit cages, gravel paths, seating areas, and a rockery with views. The sale also includes a separate two-bedroom cottage near the main house, which Galbraith says provides "excellent additional accommodation perhaps for a relative or housekeeper". The cottage comprises a sitting room, dining room, galley kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.
Agent's view
Galbraith partner Sam Gibson said: "This is a simply superb period property in an exceptional setting, amidst unspoilt rolling countryside on the historic border between England and Scotland. The house is in the charming village of Carham and a short distance from Cornhill-on-Tweed, a tranquil yet accessible rural location."
Gibson added: "In addition to the main house there is considerable flexibility to make use of the cottage and outbuildings as further accommodation, or potentially to generate an income in the future. Opportunities to acquire a home of this quality in such a beautiful setting are few and far between."
