A 'UNIQUE' seven-bedroom historic farmhouse is on the market in the Borders for offers in the region of £650,000.
The Grade C-listed Greystonelees Farmhouse near Burnmouth, Berwickshire, was built in around 1750.
Agents say it "offers a perfect mix of historic character and contemporary family accommodation".
The property was first the homestead of the Lyall family, who were influential members of the merchant and agricultural class in the area at the time.
It even gets a mention in the Barchester Chronicles as the birthplace of Robert Lyall, a member of the family who went on to become an influential member of the Church of England, eventually being appointed Dean of Canterbury.

Due to its seven bedrooms – six with en-suite facilities – the farmhouse has also been used as a bed and breakfast in recent years.
Anthony Conroy, from Yopa estate agents, said: "Greystonelees is set on approximately 0.8 acres and is approached by sweeping driveways from two sides, leaving generous garden spaces surrounding.
"The gardens have been exceptionally well maintained and incorporate numerous features, including numerous mature flowering shrubs, a water feature with footbridge, a generous decked patio and a solidly built tree house.

"The gardens add hugely to the character of the property and offer an atmosphere of timeless tranquility.
"The Farmhouse is located in the eponymous townland at the end of a traffic free cul de sac.
"The neighbours to the south are located at the end of the gardens so are a comfortable distance away.
"The neighbours to the north comprise various farm animals throughout the year.

"The tranquil atmosphere belies its location just off the A1, close to the sea at Burnmouth.
"The property lies approximately four miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed, which offers a diverse range of retail social, educational and healthcare facilities.
"The smaller seaside town of Eyemouth to the north is also within easy reach. Edinburgh is accessible in just under an hour by road or rail as is Newcastle.
"This is an incredible opportunity to purchase a part of local history, create a wonderful family home and make your own special memories."
