Fiaray is a substantial detached property built in the 1960's, with extensive beautifully landscaped gardens and an adjacent paddock - outline planning permission for a house currently pending - with a timber stable block already in place. The house lies at the edge of Minto Village, with breathtaking, panoramic views to the south and west, taking in Ruberslaw and the beautiful surrounding Borders countryside, and only a stone's throw from the highly regarded golf course opposite. The property has recently been completely redecorated, ensuring that it is offered in excellent condition and presented in pleasant neutral tones which maximize the excellent levels of natural light throughout, adding to the feeling of continuity within the highly versatile accommodation.

LOCATION
Minto is a highly regarded Borders village sheltering below the Minto Hills with a superb golf course and enjoying fine views to Ruberslaw, an extinct volcano lying south of Denholm, Minto Crags and its pele tower known as Fatlips Castle. The village centres around the Parish Church, a Victorian building in the Gothic style designed by Playfair (1830) replacing a much earlier medieval building which stood a short distance to the east and dated back to c.1275.

The village of Denholm is one mile distant with its local shops, village pubs, bistro, garage and Primary School with a wide choice of Secondary Schools nearby at Hawick, Jedburgh and Melrose.

DIRECTIONS
Fiaray is situated on the south eastern edge of Minto Village, opposite the golf course. It is the first house on the left, past the entrance to the golf course on the road from Denholm.
