An elegant home benefitting from both a beautiful countryside aspect and the convenience of an accessible location, 1 The Priory is a truly stunning period property. Finished to an impeccable standard, the thoughtfully designed extension blends seamlessly with unique restored features to provide spacious accommodation over three floors, with excellent and easily maintained outdoor space.
This carefully extended Victorian sandstone sits in an gently elevated position to the edge of the town - offering both a peaceful location and panoramic views. With a host of traditional features including a bay windowed turret, the luxurious accommodation is presented over three floors and is truly a masterclass in country elegance.
Thoughtfully modernised, 1 The Priory’s striking frontage perfectly sets the tone for the beautifully finished interior; with highlights including a family kitchen complete with a decked terraced, a generous lounge with bay windows, restored cornicing and open fireplace, a master boasting dressing room, ensuite and balcony, in addition to two further ensuite bedrooms – this is an impressive and immaculate home offering a flexible use of space, and viewing comes highly recommended.
The property is quietly positioned to the edge of the town of Selkirk; with a drive leading off Ettrick Road and into the well-kept cul de sac, one of nine privately owned properties. The town caters well for a range of amenities, with a good selection of small local and independent shops and cafes providing for everyday requirements, and schools from nursery to secondary level all easily accessible. The property also benefits from easy access to Edinburgh via the A7 and is within easy reach of the Borders rail connections, with the nearby stations at Galashiels and Tweedbank proving extremely convenient for the residents of Selkirk. The area also has good road and bus connections to all central Borders towns and employers such as Border General Hospital and Scottish Borders Council headquarters, and the town is well known for its breath-taking local countryside with rolling hills and scenic valleys all close to hand.

•Location, Location, Location!
Selkirk is a popular choice for families, couples and retirees like - offering a wonderful balance between country living while remaining well connected for modern requirements and commuters. The Priory sits prominently at the top of Ettrick Road, providing it with beautiful views across the town and countryside; particularly enjoyed from the bay windows and terrace.
•Style, Size and Sunlight!
The interior is classic, elegant, and stylish; with a sophisticated yet comfortable feel. The layout and finish fits both the period of the house and modern extension and works for couples or as a family home, with plenty of entertaining space, excellent levels of light and practical elements such as storage space.
•Garden Options
The large decked terrace opens directly from the kitchen, and is a great entertaining space or play area being fully enclosed with timber fencing and gated steps to the drive below. The balcony above opens from the master – a quiet spot for a morning coffee! A well-appointed section of lawn lies to the front adjacent to the drive way, with scope to enclose and accessing the workshop.
•Features & Favourite Spots
The lounge has to be seen to be fully appreciated; the room proportions, ceiling height and that wonderful bay and view are unlike anything currently on the market. Bedroom three, previously the honeymoon suite of the former hotel, is also a favourite, as is the grand staircase and the freestanding bath in the master ensuite!
