The property

Twizel House is a 19th Century end-terrace sandstone fronted property overlooking the Village Green set in Town Yetholm. Dating from about 1888, the accommodation lies over two floors and has great character and features original marble fireplaces, working shutters, an original Victorian stove and southerly views to the Cheviot Hills. The property also includes a two storey converted stone built stable with separate access and which in recent years has operated as an arts and crafts gallery known as “Stable Gallery”. The word ‘Twizel’ according to the Scots Dictionary can mean one of two things: either it is a house of two storeys or it is yarn that has been twisted in the spinning process. It may also have been named by a previous owner who came from the hamlet of Twizel which is just over the Border in Northumberland.

    A timber panelled entrance door with transom window over bearing the house name is centrally located between two windows on the lower floor. The entrance leads to an attractive and bright hall with stripped panelled doors with brass handles, two public rooms to the front, both with working shutters and large sash and case windows providing lovely outlooks over the village to the Cheviots. The living room features a marble fireplace with cast iron surround and decorative tiled inlay set on a stone hearth with shelved alcove cupboard to the side. The room benefits from an excellent view to Staerough Hill and is a relaxing sitting room open to a dining area to the rear which has a shelved cupboard and French doors out to the courtyard garden. The kitchen lies beyond and includes a traditional cast iron range on the far wall complete with original fittings. The kitchen has real old world charm with outlooks to the side and a door leading out to the courtyard garden. A connecting door leads off the dining area back to the main hall with a downstairs shower room, below stairs storage and a shelved cupboard. Coat hanging hooks compliment the traditional style with an astragalled staircase leading to the upper floor and a large deep sill side window providing good natural light.

  • STABLE GALLERY

    The original stables lie to the rear with separate access off Back Lane and, subject to the appropriate Planning Consent, could easily be adapted to provide a holiday or granny annex. The self-contained building has accommodation over two floors which has until recent years served as a studio and picture gallery with hanging fittings in situ and available should a purchaser seek to reinstate this as a working studio. The original stable box downstairs makes an attractive feature, with an open-plan studio on the upper floor. The building is serviced with water, light and power.
