Accessing Scotland's Past Project

Grove House, or Grovehill, appears to have been built some time between 1852 and 1860, and was probably demolished to make way for the area of housing known today as Grovehill.

According to the first edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map of Roxburghshire (1860), Grove House stood within its own grounds, much of which appears to have been wooded. At this time, the house is shown as being situated at the end of a long driveway which had a lodge at the junction with what is now Edenside Road. Several buildings are shown to the rear of Grove House, arranged along one side of a rectangular courtyard. This courtyard appears to have been covered over by the time the second edition 6-inch map of Roxburghshire (1898) was published.
