A spectacular agricultural and sporting estate in its own hidden Borders valley.
Calroust extends to circa 1,955 acres (791 Hectares) and is a fine residential and agricultural upland estate with a superb driven pheasant shoot. There is a highly productive in-hand hill farming enterprise which currently comprises a flock of 994 ewes and a suckler cow herd of 32 cows. The Hope The Hope is an attractive, semi-derelict farmhouse that occupies an elevated setting on the west side of the Calroust Valley. The farmhouse, which benefits from fine views, is built over 1½ storeys of stone under a pitched slate roof. Subject to obtaining the necessary consents, the property offers the opportunity to create a superb principal house in the heart of the estate. Calroust Farm Cottage Calroust Farm Cottage is situated to the north of the farm buildings and is accessed directly off the farm drive. The cottage, which is of harled construction under a pitched slate roof, has areas of garden to the front and rear. The accommodation, which benefits from a multi- fuel heating system, comprises sitting room, conservatory, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, hallway, bathroom. Features of the accommodation include a log stove in the sitting room, oak panelled doors and open fireplaces. There is a bothy attached to the east elevation of the cottage that is separately accessed. Subject to the necessary consents being obtained, the bothy could be utilised as additional accommodation for the cottage. Derelict Cottage Located within the farm steading is a derelict cottage that is constructed of stone under a pitched slate roof. The cottage is currently used for housing livestock. Subject to obtaining the necessary consents, the cottage offers the opportunity to be re-developed into additional estate accommodation. Farm Buildings Calroust has a versatile range of modern farm buildings and livestock handling facilities which are detailed on the enclosed plan and can be described as follows: The Land The land at Calroust rises from 260 metres (853 feet) at the Calroust Burn to 561 metres (1,841 feet) at the summit of Windy Rig, to the south of the farm on the border with England. The land can be analysed as follows: Land Type Acres In-bye 174 Rough grazings 1,734 Woods 33 Buildings/ misc 14 Total 1,955 Calroust is, in essence, its own private valley with the attractive Calroust Burn at its floor. The land rises steeply from the burn before levelling off at the eastern and western flanks of the estate. The majority of the better quality in-bye grazings are to the north, close to the farm buildings, and these fields are well fenced and capable of growing productive crops of grass or roots for grazing and conservation. The rough grazings have benefited from a programme of drainage, lime application and fertilising with the result that there are several fields of improved grazings to the south of the estate that are fenced, produce good crops of grass and also act as useful enclosed parks. The majority of the land is green hill and rough grazings; however, there is some heather on the estate that has been systematically burnt, encouraging new growth. A particular feature of the estate is the attractive Calroust Burn that is flanked by mature alder trees and flows almost the entire length of the estate before reaching its confluence with the Upper Bowmont Water, itself a tributary of the Till. There is also a useful hardcore estate road that bisects the land and provides access to most parts of the estate
