Rowanlea is an extremely attractive and particularly spacious, traditional property with tremendous charm and character in a convenient location within the popular Borders town in Selkirk. It offers well proportioned accommodation, and has recently been extensively redecorated and re-carpeted and is therefore in walk-in condition. The accommodation, arranged over three floors, is highly flexible, enjoying an absolutely lovely outlook to the front taking in the rolling Borders countryside to the west, and with a very pleasant outlook over the beautifully landscaped garden to the rear.

LOCATION
The former County Town of Selkirk lies within the prime catchment area of the Central Borders approximately 5 miles from the larger town of Galashiels. The town itself has retained its county charm and has a good range of recreational and educational facilities including a swimming pool and gym, 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 some of the most glorious scenery in the Borders.
