A BORDERS property built by a famed 19th century architect is currently on the market for less than £1 million.
The Schoolhouse at Minto, near Hawick, was built in a Gothic style in 1889 by 'Playfair'.
The period property is on the market with Hastings Legal for offers over £900,000.
The "eclectic and unique" property boasts amazing views of the Teviot Valley as well as an expansive garden with rhododendrons and fruit trees and the opportunity to expand an existing holiday let business.
A spokesperson for Hastings Legal said: "The main residence currently runs alongside the adjoining, and highly successful, holiday let apartment; based around the awe-inspiring Study, a 19th century Baronial reception room, with the additional Shepherds Huts in the grounds, the property offers a fantastic opportunity for a buyer in search of a portfolio comprising special something in the heart of the Borders – with options to continue with the interior styling, income potential to expand the holiday let business, and scope for permissions for a further self-build, this is an entirely unique prospect for those with a flair for period styling and a chance to create a wonderful home with viable commercial prospects, in a most desirable setting."
The Hastings and Legal spokesperson added: "Eclectic and unique in equal measure, The Schoolhouse is a true homage to period accommodation, with a tasteful modern influence and providing endless scope for a worthy buyer.
"The property is a strikingly beautiful 19th Century school, built in Gothic style in 1889 by prominent Scottish architect 'Playfair'.
"In addition to the remarkable building, the property boasts an enviable backdrop; with generous garden grounds with extensive tree and shrub planting, established rhododendrons, fruit trees and restorative outlooks over the Teviot Valley and neighbouring countryside."
