Flat D, Newfaan Isle is a spacious three-bedroom flat full of the most fabulous period features and striking views back towards the Eildon Hills. Only a short distance from the new Borders Railway, there are stations at both Galashiels and Tweedbank which run to Edinburgh.

Built in 1887, the main accommodation lies across the ground floor and includes the original cellars. Of particular note, is the most welcoming entrance vestibule with mosaic tiles, lead and etched glass detailing, leading into a large dining hall with ornate cornicing, freize-work and timber panelling. The size of the rooms, in this charming property, with tall windows and high ceilings also provide excellent natural light.

Internally, the property comprises three double bedrooms, (one with ensuite bathroom and a dressing room), a further bathroom, a dual aspect sitting room, a dining hall, a kitchen, and a utility room. There is also a basement housing three cellar rooms which offer excellent storage, or potential as a hobby space or workroom.

The property sits within large grounds, with private driveway parking to the front for several cars, and a lawn area with a variety of shrubs, rhododendrons and a specimen sequoia. There are patio areas to the side and rear plus a garden shed and greenhouse.

Most Border towns can be reached from this central location, with the A7 with direct routes to Edinburgh and Carlisle is immediately available, as well as the new Borders Railway which only make this region more and more accessible.
