Situation High Letham Farmhouse and its cottage sit in an elevated position at the foot of Halidon Hill, a mere 1.5 miles from the border with Scotland.

Northumberland and Berwickshire are among the genuinely rural areas of the northern . Despite its proximity to both Edinburgh and Newcastle, the area has a low population and can therefore offer a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare. The area provides a good variety of recreational activities from events and gardens, just across the border at Paxton House, to excellent opportunities for the country sports enthusiast. There is salmon fishing on the River Tweed, trout fishing in various local lochs and pheasant shooting and grouse shooting on local estates. There are a number of good golf courses in easy reach, including two 18 hole courses around Berwick-upon-Tweed, plus both Duns and Eyemouth, and the championship Roxburghe near Kelso on the Duke of Roxburghe’s estate. Northumberland is also home to Europe’s largest Dark Sky Park, extending to some 572 square miles.

Berwick-upon-Tweed (2 miles) is a vibrant town with a good range of services and retailers and a number of hotels, restaurants, pubs and a wine bar. There is the popular Maltings Theatre and Cinema as well as a regular market and a number of galleries and arts and crafts shops. Schooling is well catered for locally with primary and secondary schooling available in the town as well as private schooling from age 3 to 18 at Longridge Towers School. The prep schools of St Mary’s, Melrose and Belhaven at Dunbar are both within 36 miles while Mowden Hall near Newcastle is slightly further afield but easily reached via the A1.

Transport links are excellent, with the A1 trunk road only 0.5 miles away and the mainline railway station at Berwick-upon-Tweed (2 miles) providing a fast link to London Kings Cross, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Leeds.
