2 Ryefield, Windyknowe Road, Galashiels

In a quiet setting off the main town, Windyknowe Road is a collection of traditional townhouses and more modern homes, with a gently elevated position allowing for fantastic outlooks over the town and countryside beyond. Set back from the road, with a manicured hedge line border and stone pillars, Ryefield is a striking sandstone property comprising of three privately owned homes – each with their own separate entrances, parking and gardens.

2 Ryefield enjoys the prominent and traditional main entrance to the former mansion house; opening to a tiled vestibule and cloakroom, and on to the main accommodation. The lounge is a sumptuous reception room with bay window overlooking the garden, a triple aspect and ornate detailing heralding the era including plaster cast ceiling roses and beautiful hand painted cornicing. The kitchen is positioned across the hallway, quietly to the rear with a charming aspect towards the treeline boundary, and is fitted with modern cabinetry and appliances and a breakfasting bar for casual dining.

The principal bedroom is luxurious in its proportions, with a focal fireplace and fantastic dual aspect windows, and could easily be interchangeable as a further entertaining reception room. Two further comfortable bedrooms are positioned along the landing, with the family bathroom to the far end featuring a fabulous freestanding bath.

In addition to the drive and double garage, the garden is a wonderful complement to the accommodation; with exceptional privacy it is a tranquil spot enclosed by mature sheltering trees and hedges, with two large stretches of level lawn and patio area.

An ideal home for those couples in search of a balance between country aspect and town amenities, with easy access to Edinburgh via the train link within walking distance of the property, Ryefield can also lend itself as a family home, a second home or holiday getaway.
