Station Brae is a particularly attractive Fjord Hus completed in early
September 2008, and presented in absolutely immaculate decorative order.
It offers well proportioned and particularly spacious, flexible accommodation
over two levels, finished to exceptionally high standards with many highly
stylish contemporary fittings combining well with additional touches such
as beautiful stone flooring throughout at the ground floor level with
under floor heating. The property benefits from off-road parking for 3
vehicles, with an easily managed, south facing garden to the rear which
enjoys complete privacy, laid mainly to lawn with an area of decking,
screened and sheltered on all sides by fencing and mature beech hedging.
There is a detached single garage, which mirrors the house design, and
with extensive attic storage above. The house benefits from an eco-friendly
and economical heat recovery system which can be used to provide air conditioning
in the summer and there is also an up-to-the-minute central vacuum system.
CAT 5 computer network in hall and all bedrooms.
LOCATION
There are excellent educational and recreational facilities in Earlston,
(with the High School being held in very high regard), and the surrounding
area including golf, fishing, walking and horse riding. Ideally located
for commuting to Edinburgh with the imminent opening of the Dalkeith bypass
reducing the journey to the City Bypass to approximately 30 minutes. Also
very well located in the Borders itself, having the towns of Kelso and
Galashiels within a 10 mile radius and only 5 miles from Melrose.
