Converted Mill House With Stylish Interiors, Private Yard And Central Innerleithen Location

Originally built as part of a mill in 1877, 6 Cleikum Mill is today a stylish two bedroom home that blends the character of its heritage with modern design touches. Converted to residential use in the early 2000s, the property offers striking interiors, contemporary fittings and a central location just a short stroll from the amenities of Innerleithen.

The living room sets the tone on entry, with quality wooden flooring underfoot and soft grey walls keeping the décor modern and fresh. A large front window fills the space with natural light, while ceiling spotlights add evening brightness. It is a versatile room with plenty of scope to arrange sofas and furniture in different ways.

Leading off the living room, a WC also sits on the ground floor. Thoughtfully designed with grey painted walls with one wall behind the sink featuring wood panelling to half way. A wall mounted mirror adds depth, while a chrome towel radiator provides both function and finish.

Steps rise from the living room up into the kitchen and dining area, a real centrepiece of the home. Fitted with glossy grey cabinets and topped with dark marble-effect worktops, it’s a sleek, modern and stylish space. Brick-effect tiling provides a textured backdrop along the worktop, while integrated ovens at eye level and a gas hob with extractor hood above ensures the space is well equipped for cooking. Kickstrip and under-cabinet lighting bring a sophisticated touch, and the sink is set neatly into a breakfast bar with space behind for stools. It’s a generous room with space for a dining table and chairs, finished with wooden flooring and ceiling spotlights that make the most of its bright, airy feel.

Upstairs, the landing benefits from a cosy nook space, perfect for a reading chair and decorated with stag themed wallpaper adding character. A small radiator adds warmth and soft grey carpet continues the home’s contemporary theme.

The first of the homes bedrooms is a large double, decorated in light tones with a leafy feature wallpaper and a matching grey floor finish. A run of built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors maximises storage, and three small windows allow in natural light.

The second bedroom is equally generous, offering bold colour on the walls, a grey carpet and twin windows side by side. Two built-in double wardrobes, both finished with mirrored sliding doors, make the room exceptionally practical for storage.

The shower room is another contemporary space finished with style. A large shower cubicle includes black fitments and a luxury rainfall head, while the walls are lined with modern wood effect wet-wall panels. A vanity unit with storage beneath the sink, a toilet and a black ladder towel radiator complete the look, while a large mirror enhances the sense of light and space.

To the rear, a private courtyard is enclosed by timber fencing, offering a quiet block-paved space to enjoy the outdoors. Compact yet practical, it provides a secluded spot for a table, chairs or even planters.

6 Cleikum Mill is a home with character and modern appeal, offering bright living areas, two spacious double bedrooms and a stylish kitchen and shower room. With its private courtyard, historic origins and prime position close to the centre of Innerleithen, it presents a rare opportunity in the local market.

About Innerleithen

Innerleithen is a delightful town tucked into the heart of the Tweed Valley, midway between Peebles and Galashiels. Its name reflects its setting at the meeting point of Leithen Water and the River Tweed, embraced by wooded hills like Caerlee Hill and “Rocky” Pirn Craig. The town’s history stretches back to pre-Roman times and saw growth through its wool industry and the healing spring of St Ronan’s Well, famously celebrated by Sir Walter Scott.

Today, Innerleithen balances its rich heritage with a vibrant outdoor scene. It’s part of Scotland’s 7Stanes mountain bike network and boasts some of the most challenging downhill trails in the UK, supported by multiple local bike shops. A bustling High Street offers independent shops and cafés, and nearby Traquair House and the iconic printing museum enrich the cultural mix.

Families gravitate here for excellent schooling, St Ronan’s Primary sits amid spacious grounds, while secondary-age students head to Peebles High School.

Scenic, historic and outdoor-focused, Innerleithen offers a compelling blend of lifestyle and location.
