Raemartin House, Raemartin Square West Linton, EH46 7ED

Offers Over £325,000

Raemartin House is a property of great character and charm, situated in the heart of the much sought after borders village of West Linton. This substantial property affords a well proportioned layout over three floors with interesting aspects from each window and lovely views from the upper floors towards the open countryside.

The property was built in 1789 as coaching inn serving travellers between Edinburgh and Moffat.

Raemartin House forms a spacious family home with many of the original features being retained such as decorative cornice work and a period staircase and fireplace.  This is enhanced by stain glass and delightful oak finishings.

The property has been restored to reveal the much-admired stonework and has been upgraded and modernised to include family kitchen/dining room, contemporary bathroom and shower room facilities and Biomass heating system.

The Biomass heating system is run by a wood pellet fired boiler and serves the radiators and hot water via a Megaflo cylinder. Okofen pellet heating systems are top of the range.  Installed in 2015, the Okofen PE25 boiler has an integral 130kg hopper for hand-filling with wood pellets which may be purchased from one of the many local suppliers.

The accommodation comprises; entrance vestibule, hall, large family kitchen/dining room with small oak pew, study/bedroom 5, double bedroom 4, large walk in storage cupboard and boiler room with access to the rear courtyard/garden.  The first floor is approached by the period staircase and leads to the traditional lounge with period fireplace, master bedroom and family bathroom.  The staircase continues to the upper floor with double bedrooms 2 and 3, shower room and attic space. To the rear of the property there is a fully enclosed private garden/courtyard with Asgard pellet store and access to the rear lane.

Located in the heart of the picturesque borders village of West Linton, Raemartin House is surrounded by a host of excellent amenities including a quaint village green, bookshop, grocers, restaurant, café, village pub, churches, health centre and primary school.  West Linton is also within easy commuting distance of Edinburgh’s city by-pass as it is only 15 minutes driving distance away, yet offers the best of both worlds with genuine rural lifestyle whilst still being within touching distance of the city.

The Single Survey Home Report value does not include any value attached to Ofgem’s Cashback scheme relating to the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). Domestic RHI is paid to the owners in relation to installation of the Biomass boiler and is currently paid at the rate of £3,200 per annum until December 2022. This income stream is transferrable to the new owners. 

The RHI is available to be transferred to the new owners based upon the Heat Demand as noted per the most recent EPC (47,207 per Single Survey Report) times the rate in force at the time of installation (6.43p) per annum, as adjusted for RPI. This will equate to over £16,700 cashback from July 2017 to December 2022. Full details may be found on Ofgem’s website.
