Scottish home with sweeping green views that was once village school for sale

A one-of-a-kind Scottish home that was once a village school has just gone on the market.

Rowanburn Hall is a stunning three-bedroom period property set on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Canonbie. It is currently available to buy for offers around £350,000.




Formerly the village’s school and headmaster’s accomodation, Rowanburn Hall is now a fabulous family home with far-reaching countryside views. The property is tastefully decorated yet still retains a wealth of historic period charm, while an idyllic garden wraps around the outside.

Stepping inside, the property’s main reception room is easily its highlight. Featuring stunning wood flooring, a wood-burning stove, and large windows that bathe it in natural light, the flexible space previously served as the principal school room.

Elsewhere, there is a cosier snug that looks perfect for relaxed nights in with the family. Meanwhile, the kitchen and breakfast room is centred around a gorgeous deep blue oil-fired AGA cooker.

Rowanburn Hall is also home to three fitted bathrooms, two on the ground floor and one upstairs. The first floor also features all five of the property’s bedrooms, including the stylish master.

From the boot room, doors open to the garden at the rear. A raised decking area provides a lovely space for entertaining and al fresco dining, while the front porch also leads directly to a further patio area.


The rest of the garden is mostly laid to lawn, with plenty of space for little ones to run around in. There is also off-street parking for two vehicles, with potential for an outbuilding where the previous garage stood.

More information and images can be found on the Galbraith listing.
