An "impressive country house" in the Scottish Borders, set in a picturesque elevated position, has been put up for sale with offers over £850,000. Braw Gates House, a five-bedroom home near Selkirk, is being marketed by estate agents Galbraith.
Property features and layout
The accommodation spans approximately 321 square metres across three storeys, including a viewing tower with panoramic vistas. An inviting central hall gives access to three spacious reception rooms, a dining kitchen, a utility room, and a pantry. The first floor contains the five bedrooms, with the viewing tower reached via a spiral staircase from the en-suite master bedroom.
Four of the bedrooms have en-suite facilities, and one also offers Jack and Jill access. Two bedrooms come with French doors opening onto a Juliet-style balcony. The master bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with a tub and a separate shower cubicle.
Outdoor space and location
Outside, the property includes around 11.69 acres of grazing land, a private pond, equestrian facilities, and a separate outbuilding with a double garage and a workshop. The outbuilding could potentially be converted into a two-bedroom cottage. The house sits at the end of a tree-lined driveway, offering privacy and "wonderful open views across the surrounding gardens, grazing land, and countryside".
Selkirk provides local amenities such as shops, hotels, and pubs, while the nearby town of Galashiels offers a broader selection of services. Edinburgh is also within easy reach by road or rail.
