The Coach House is an impressive period family house which is in need of full refurbishment. It is built of stone, under a slate roof and therefore benefits from a wonderfully light and bright atmosphere. It has huge scope to provide really comfortable family accommodation with well proportioned, formal reception rooms and excellent bedroom and bathroom facilities. Of particular note is the large drawing which runs almost the full width of the building. Outside, and adjoining the house, is garaging for three cars, whilst at the back of the house is a loose box, stores and a slated pole barn. Below the garages is the enclosed stable yard with two loose boxes and a feed room/tack room. A tarmac drive leads to a parking area at the front of the house. It also gives access to parking at the back of the house, the outbuildings, stables and the front paddock (which has post and rail fencing and its own water supply). A right of access in favour of The Coach House extends over the first part of the drive from the gates off the main road to the private drive that leads to The Coach House. Most of the garden is on the bank at the back of the house with an expansive lawn at the front.


Surrounded by mature trees, and with a good deal of privacy, The Coach House House is positioned in a sunny, elevated position high above The River Tweed, in the heart of The Scottish Borders approximately 2 miles south of Galashiels, just off A7. Galashiels offers a good range of local shops and supermarkets, commercial and leisure facilities, services and schools; the Borders General Hospital is nearby. Nearby Melrose is widely considered to be the most attractive small town in the Scottish Borders. Situated between the River Tweed and the Eildon Hills, it offers a remarkable combination of historic architecture, shopping, schooling (both state and private), restaurants/hotels, sporting facilities and easy access to glorious countryside. The town originally developed round the medieval abbey – now a picturesque ruin, made famous in the 19th century by Sir Walter Scott. Melrose is known for its civic pride and wealth of community activities; for example, it has won several recent Britain in Bloom and best-kept small-town awards. Not surprisingly therefore, a recent survey carried out by The Sunday Times found that Melrose is the best place to live in Scotland.

The Coach House is highly accessible. It lies 38 miles from Edinburgh, with its many city facilities and international airport, and 40 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed with its main line (inter-city to London) railway station. Seven years ago the Borders Railway between Edinburgh and the Borders was re-opened. The railway terminus (with parking) is at Tweedbank, just outside Galashiels which makes the town and the surrounding area very convenient for commuting to Edinburgh for work or school. Galashiels also has a station; the current journey time from Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley is 55 minutes. Glenmayne is ideally situated for those wishing to take advantage of the wealth of recreational opportunities available in the Scottish Borders, an area renowned for its unspoilt beauty and strong equestrian tradition – each year Galashiels hosts The Braw Lad's Gathering. It is an excellent base for those who enjoy walking, equestrianism and cycling, whilst for the golf enthusiast, there are courses at Galashiels, Melrose and Selkirk. Some of the finest salmon fishing in Britain is available on the nearby River Tweed, and the area boasts challenging shooting for both pheasant and grouse.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
