Single garage, which leads into the utility room, has recently been altered into office space. The well presented accommodation is bright and spacious throughout, enjoying wonderful views from every angle over the beautiful rolling countryside that surrounds the house. The large sitting room includes a traditional open fire and is large enough to accommodate a dining table, as is the family kitchen, and both open out to decking running along the side and rear, creating excellent outdoors living space for the summer months. Upstairs are five bedrooms, four of which are doubles - the master boasting a stylish en-suite bathroom, and a recently refurbished shower room, complete with a state of the art shower cum steam room style unit. Lying on the fringes of town within easy reach of the High School, the house occupies a generous plot extending to around 1/3rd acre, with the gardens planned to be relatively easily kept and including masses of parking in addition to the double garage. Another useful extra is the summer house, which has patio doors and has been kitted out with a bar, but lends itself well for use as a games/teens room, or even as another home office alternative. Buyers from far and wide are becoming increasingly attracted to the Borders region as a whole. It is a beautiful area renowned for its spectacular scenery, sense of history and tradition, quieter pace of life and low crime rates. The relative ease of access to Midlothian towns, the city by-pass and indeed Edinburgh city centre is leading to this becoming an area of real appeal to the commuter who wishes to live outwith the hustle and bustle of city life. Selkirk lies within the prime catchment area of the central Borders, and provides a good range of recreational and educational facilities, with leisure activities including a golf course, swimming pool, horse riding and rugby club plus a variety of hotels, bars and shops catering well for every day needs, with a wider range of major retail outlets in either Hawick (approx 12 miles) or Galashiels (around 6 miles). Travelling through Selkirk on the A7, turn into High School Lane, then turn right and drive along Goslawdales, following the road up the hill until you come to Ashbrae, which is the second house you come to.
