For those seeking a much needed escape from it all, the far reaching views and peace and quiet will be a much needed draw.
Sitting less than an hour from Edinburgh, it is also perfectly placed for enjoying a short break - why not bring family or friends for a weekend of outdoor adventures! - 4 x 4 driving, clay shooting and fishing can all be easily arranged nearby.
Presented in a traditional country house style, the spacious accommodation features a number of interesting pieces sourced by the owners including a blend of antique furniture punctuated by delightful objets d’art, offset against soft, earthy colours and muted tweeds in keeping with the surroundings.
Downstairs there’s an elegant drawing room and a separate cosy sitting room both with magnificent, uninterrupted views over rolling Borders countryside. The large farmhouse kitchen and dining area provide the perfect setting for convivial cooking and long, atmospheric meals. A large boot room / drying room provides plenty of space for outdoor kit and dogs.
Upstairs the overall look is timeless. The charming bedrooms offer complete flexibility with a winning combination of calming, neutral colours, interesting antique pieces and wonderfully inviting beds with feather duvets and pillows and Egyptian cotton bed linen topped with cosy wool blankets.
Halliburton is set in a wonderfully tranquil setting, with an attractive, fully-enclosed garden and breathtaking views over open countryside. A sheltered outside dining area is the perfect spot to sit and watch the sun set over the hills.
