Edelweiss, Wylies Brae, Galashiels
Far-reaching open views are only one of the attractions offered by this detached family villa in Galashiels Location is generally at the top of most buyers’ wish lists, but when it comes to choosing a family home, things like size, layout, specification, convenience and proximity to schools and safe play areas all impact on decision-making – and ticking all of these boxes and more is Edelweiss, a detached two-storey family home in a desirable residential area within Galashiels. Immaculately presented throughout, the house benefits from a garage and offstreet parking, fully enclosed child/pet safe gardens to the front and rear, and a setting in Wylie’s Brae that is only a 20-minute walk from schools (Galashiels Academy, St Peter’s and Glendinning primary schools) and within a short walk of the town centre, transport interchange, and Galashiels railway station, which provides an alternative means of commuting to Edinburgh city centre. Configured around family lifestyles and displaying a fresh and neutral colour palette throughout, the ground floor layout comprises entrance hall leading to an open-plan, south-facing living/dining room, a light and airy space with direct access to the rear garden, open views across the town to the hills and countryside beyond, and a fireplace/gas fire focal point in the seating area.
Fitted on two sides, the kitchen can be accessed from the hall and the living area. Features here include integrated appliances, partially tiled walls, additional walk-in cupboard/pantry – and access to an adjoining conservatory, again with stunning open views to the front as well as access to a paved patio. Completing the ground floor accommodation are a smaller, front-facing room – presently used as a dayroom/sitting room but could equally be a bedroom or study if required - and a south -facing double bedroom with fully tiled en suite shower room and plenty of space for freestanding furniture. A staircase in the hall leads up to the first floor landing, which has two built-in linen cupboards. The three bedrooms on this level all have combed ceilings that add character without compromising on space. Two are large double rooms with dormer windows, one bedroom also incorporates two substantial built-in wardrobes and a vanity unit, while the third single-size bedroom is currently utilized as a study.
