Wildwood is a charming and unique family home, set within a peaceful community of detached homes on the outskirts of the Borders market town of Hawick. Set in a prominent position with south-facing aspect Wildwood is an incredibly private and spacious home with flexible accommodation over one principal floor. The current owners have extended and expanded the house over their 18 years as owners to make an impressive family home in a peaceful leafy green setting.
Entered from a large patio terrace the property boasts a generous modern dining kitchen with adjoining utility room, the central hall opens into a dual aspect sitting room with french doors into the conservatory (complete with underfloor heating.) The house boasts three large double bedrooms – two of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms – bedroom three has access to a private balcony overlooking the south-facing garden. There are two further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a comfortable home study.
A large family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and is complete with rolltop bathtub and separate modern shower. The lower ground floor of the property opens into a large double garage with ample parking for two cars and generous storage/power and potential for conversion – subject to planning – to provide extra reception or bedroom accommodation.
Externally the property sits in a large south-facing plot looking out over mature specimen trees, the garden is mostly laid to lawn with laurel hedging, mature shrubbery and monkey puzzle tree. The garden is perfect for those looking to follow the sun all-day with a large, decked terrace, green house, patio and comfortable summer house. Set in a peaceful plot Wildwood is a fantastic family home within easy reach of schooling and local amenities in Hawick.
Situation
Wildwood sits peacefully in what were the grounds of Linden Park Masion which was destroyed by fire in 1921 circa 2 miles from the bustling centre of Hawick. The centre of the town benefits from an ALDI, Sainsburys and Morrisons supermarket, a wide range of local shops and businesses, banks, restaurants, public houses, sports clubs, leisure centre, and schools for all ages. The town also boasts a high-school and several local primary schools.
Hawick is a historic town, regarded as the ‘Home of Cashmere’ and is surrounded by the beautiful, picturesque Scottish Borders where there are opportunities on the doorstep for walking, cycling, golfing, horse-riding, fishing, as well as many other country pursuits. Equally well known for its proud rugby tradition and the venue for the famous Common Riding every June, Hawick has good road access to the nearby towns of Galashiels, Selkirk, Melrose and Kelso and to the south via the A7. There are bus links to the cities of Carlisle and Newcastle upon Tyne, and the Borders railway to Edinburgh has stops at Galashiels and Tweedbank, both just a 25-minute drive away.
