West Ord Farmhouse 5 Bedrooms, 3 Reception Rooms, River Views
West Ord Farmhouse represents an exquisite example of early Georgian architecture, occupying a prominent yet private position with breathtaking views across the River Tweed. Constructed circa 1700-1710, this Grade 2* Listed house features a perfectly symmetrical rectangular design, with identical opposing façades. A later addition to the west elevation comprises a single-storey stone extension under a slate roof. The main house is built of painted ashlar stone with a Scottish slate-covered hipped roof, tall plain parapets, and dormer windows.
The property epitomises classical elegance while combining charm and functionality to create an exceptional family home. With an abundance of natural light, excellent proportions, and a sense of grandeur, the interior also delivers comfort and practicality. Period features include extensive wall panelling, finely detailed hand-carved cornicing, moulded architraves, fluted pilasters, ornate doors, and a feature staircase. The property has been carefully maintained and improved over the years, with significant works including a complete rebuild of internal gutters and chimney stacks in the early 1990s, as well as the installation of Ventrolla timber-frame sash and case windows. Modern kitchen and bathroom fittings have been stylishly integrated, and the property is decorated to a high standard.

The steading is served by mains electricity (three-phase) a private water supply (with mains back up) and has CCTV installed.

Farm Land
The farm extends to 186.90 hectares (461.83 acres) in total (when sold as a whole) which includes 154.54 hectares (381.87 acres) of arable land, 19.69 hectares (48.65 acres) of permanent grass and 6.58 hectares (16.26 acres) of woodland. Situated on the Banks of the River Tweed the farm is home to an abundance of wildlife – oyster catchers, dippers, kingfishers and otters to name a few. The land reaches 48 meters above sea level at its highest point and the topography is relatively flat across the arable fields with a gentle slope to the north. There are steeper hills within the permanent grass fields ideal for shelter and adding to the character of the property. The land at West Ord has an excellent network of internal roads and tracks providing excellent access. Fields are all of a good size, ideal for large machinery and are for the most part enclosed by either neat hedgerows or stock proof fences/stone dykes. The fertile soils consist of relatively easy-to-work medium bodied loams, which are free-draining and consistently yield high-quality cash crops.
The land has an Agricultural Land Classification of Grade 2 and is therefore capable of producing a wide variety of crops. The farm currently works on a five-year cropping rotation and in recent years the land has successfully grown winter wheat, spring barley, oil seed rape, winter and spring oats.

Please see the brochure for summary of yields that have been achieved in the past four years, along with further details.
