Melrose boasts a variety of specialist shops, a supermarket, hotels, cafés, bars and restaurants and can be reached within a few minutes’ drive or short walk cross country.

Excellent amenities in nearby Galashiels include a cinema, large supermarkets and well-known high-street retailers.

There are a variety of outdoor pursuits in the area including fishing on the River Tweed, horse riding, golf, mountain / road biking and a selection of walks including the Southern Upland Way, the Eildon Hills and St Cuthberts Way.

Local schooling includes Melrose Grammar primary school and the highly regarded St Mary’s preparatory school. For secondary school education, the property lies within the catchment area of Earlston High School which was one of only two schools in Scotland to feature in Tatler’s Top 20 State Secondary Schools 2018.

The Borders General Hospital lies just outside Melrose - and nearby Tweedbank, minutes to the west of Melrose, has a station on the Borders Railway providing a service into central Edinburgh with approximately an hour’s journey time. Berwick Upon Tweed (approx. 40 miles) provides a major rail link for travel to the South, and for the frequent flyer, airports can be found in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Newcastle. There are two bus stops within a short walking distance of the property which allows easy commuting links to all Borders Towns, Berwick and Edinburgh.

Description

Broomhill is a wonderful family home set in a generous plot of 0.94 acres with a large gravel driveway, walled garden grounds including sun terrace on the remains of a former bothy/washhouse, fruit tree orchard, multiple stone outbuildings and a private enclosed courtyard.

The ground floor is predominantly open plan, with the welcoming entrance hall leading to the dining room, kitchen and utility room on one side, and into the sitting room on the other. Recently having gone under renovation the kitchen is fitted with an abundance of black wooden base units, a range cooker, 2 fridge freezers, a combined filtered/boiling water tap, ample shelving and a fantastic breakfast bar with garden views, a perfect kitchen for a busy family. The adjoining dining room has been finished to a high standard with patio doors providing access to the outdoors and beautiful mosaic floor tiles. The sitting room benefits from an attractive wood burning stove providing heat over both floors with floor to ceiling windows allowing a natural flow of sunlight. Completing the ground floor there is a spacious study, small double bedroom/snug, WC, and beautiful guest bedroom with exposed stone feature wall, ensuite shower room, floor to ceiling windows and a single glass panel door allowing access to the courtyard.

Following a spiral staircase, the first-floor accommodation is composed of a principal bedroom suite with dressing room and shower room benefitting from beautiful views out of the 4 Velux windows, two further generous double bedrooms both with Juliet balconies and a capacious family bathroom with access to the attic.

Whilst the accommodation resides in just under half of the steading, the remainder of the steading is in good condition with a range of previous and current uses including boiler room, workshop/studio, garage and storage.

As is evident from the photography, the property benefits from beautiful scenic views out over the Roxburghshire countryside and rolling hills.
