Nestled in a true beauty spot in the Bowland Valley between Galashiels and Clovenfords, Craigneuk is a wonderfully unique offering. Comprising a three-bedroom property, generous garden and 7 acre paddock the property offers flexibility, privacy and a wealth of opportunity for an incoming purchaser.

Retained within the same ownership for over 45 years, Craigneuk has been a labour of love for the current vendors. The property sits back from the banks of the Gala Water with a generous enclosed plot of some 8.3 acres. Much of the garden is laid to lawn with supplementary specimen trees, a separate vegetable garden and stream running through the edge of the boundary. An array of outbuildings offer a variety of storage options or could be used to house livestock and or horses.

Note that a section of the garden at the south-east end of the boundary is owned by a third party and may be available to purchase by separate negotiation. This piece of land has been used and maintained by the current owners during their entire ownership of the property.

The property itself comprises a generous sitting room, sunroom, open plan kitchen/living/dining space, large utility room, bathroom and second reception room – which could be utilised as a third bedroom. Upstairs there are two good sized double bedrooms with fine views of the gardens sloping down to the water’s edge.

The property is accessed from the B710 by means of a drove road track which is well maintained, coming over the brow of the hill you are struck by the surrounding green space and fine views of the Bowland Valley – the unique position of the property allows complete privacy whilst being quickly and easily connected to nearby Galashiels with its array of local amenities, schooling and shops. There are train stations at both Stow & Galashiels offering a twice hourly service to Edinburgh Waverley Station.
