Glendale Hall is a beautifully renovated 4 bedroom property in the idyllic village of Morebattle in the Scottish Borders. This wonderful home boasts spacious and versatile accommodation, period features, outbuildings and mature landscaped grounds.
Property description


Approaching Glendale Hall from Main Street, you are welcomed by a charming, gated entrance that opens onto a gravel path, flanked by neatly clipped box hedges, leading gracefully to the front door. Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a spacious and inviting entrance hall, complete with soft pink boot room cabinetry that adds both function and charm.

To the left of the hall lies a bright and airy dining kitchen, featuring an oil-fired Aga, classic sage green in-frame cabinetry, a traditional Belfast sink, and a useful pantry perfectly blending character with modern convenience. This delightful space flows seamlessly into a recently replaced garden room, thoughtfully designed to complement the original architecture while providing a stunning connection to the outdoors.

To the right of the entrance hall, the dual-aspect drawing room offers an elegant yet cosy retreat, with a handsome stone fireplace and a wood-burning stove as its focal point, ideal for relaxing evenings and entertaining guests.

Ascending the staircase from the entrance hall you are met with a large landing giving access to two double bedrooms, the principal offering an en-suite with a luxurious freestanding bath. To complete the first floor is a comfortable single bedroom and a family shower room.

An adjoining outbuilding, thoughtfully converted and seamlessly incorporated into the main house by the current owners, offers fantastic versatility. With minimal adjustment, it could easily be closed off to form a completely self-contained annex ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or potential rental use. Accessed via a door from the drawing room and down a set of characterful stone steps, this charming space opens into a snug sitting room with painted beams and a welcoming wood-burning stove. Beyond lies a practical utility area, which could be transformed into a fully functioning kitchen if desired.

Completing the space is a stylish shower room and a vaulted double bedroom, creating a comfortable and private retreat.
Tucked away behind mature hedging on Morebattle’s Main Street, Glendale Hall enjoys a rare sense of privacy while remaining at the heart of the village. This striking home is set within beautifully landscaped garden grounds, thoughtfully designed with a blend of patios, manicured lawns, gravelled pathways, sculpted box hedges, and well-established herbaceous borders that provide year-round interest.

The property also benefits from ample off-street parking and a generous double garage, complete with a versatile workshop above, flooded with natural light from Velux windows. An additional outbuilding with double doors opening directly onto the main street offers further flexibility, whether for storage, business use, or potential conversion (subject to permissions).
