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.
LOCATION
The former County Town of Selkirk lies within the prime catchment area
of the Central Borders. The town itself has retained its county charm
and has a good range of recreational and educational facilities, restaurants,
shops and a scenic golf course. The area is surrounded by rolling hills
and lies close to the largely undiscovered Ettrick and Yarrow valleys
providing.
