Haining House is an impressive detached bungalow set at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac in an elevated position enjoying absolutely lovely views across Selkirk and to the surrounding countryside both front and rear. It enjoys a high degree of privacy with a country feel, yet is within very easy walking distance of shops, schools and other local amenities. The accommodation is particularly spacious and well laid out, recently redecorated and upgraded to a good standard, and decorated in pleasant neutral tones giving a contemporary flavour and very much adding to the feeling of light and space within the house. There is an absolutely delightful, extensive and partly walled private garden, and it is worth noting that planning permission for building within the garden is currently pending. Whether or not to proceed with this would be entirely at the purchaser's discretion, but it would be unlikely to compromise the privacy of the house, which would still retain a very generous garden area.
