Description
58 Forest Road offers the complete package with generously proportioned rooms and low maintenance grounds. It is presented in a good order and sits in a central position within the town. The property will appeal to investors, first time buyers and those looking to get away from the city.
Selkirk and the surrounding area appears to be benefitting from a good level of publicity and an increase in local tourism following large local investment in events including the rail link, new tapestry building, leisure facilities and sporting events such as Melrose 7s. There are also a good number of other attractions locally including Abbotsford House and Tea Room, a selection of well-established golf courses, breath-taking countryside with heritage walks and trails through the area including St Cuthbert’s Way. There are also local festivals at each of the local towns during the summer months celebrating the proud traditions of the area.
Location:
The property is situated just off the town centre. The street is popular for investors looking for buy-to-lets. The Royal Burgh of Selkirk lies on the Ettrick Water, a tributary of the River Tweed. This characteristic town offers an array of recreational facilities including golf course and racecourse together with primary and secondary schools and a wide range of shops and restaurants.
The Heriot-Watt Scottish Borders Campus has a thriving student community in nearby Galashiels, and there is a good selection of restaurants and bars in the town and surrounding area. Selkirk is easily commutable to Edinburgh via the A7 or A68 trunk roads, and airports are located at Edinburgh and Newcastle.
