4 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Coach House, Linglie Road, Selkirk TD7

Set to the edge of the town this charming period property offers exceptional accommodation with a flexible layout, a mature private garden and substantial garaging ideal for work space or indeed further conversion

The Coach House enjoys a peaceful setting just off the main thoroughfare of the historic market town of Selkirk, offering immediate access to local amenities while being perfectly placed to enjoy the rolling countryside, woodland walks and picturesque valleys that define the Scottish Borders. Dating from 1881, this handsome former coach house has been thoughtfully adapted to provide exceptionally versatile family accommodation, balancing period character with the flexibility demanded by modern living.

Extending to five bedrooms, with a practical arrangement that allows for ground-floor living if required, the house offers an adaptable layout suited to a range of lifestyles. Whether accommodating a growing family, welcoming visiting guests or embracing multi-generational living, the accommodation has been carefully configured to provide both generous entertaining space and quieter, more private areas. The substantial former stable block and garage further enhance the property, offering excellent workshop and storage facilities together with clear potential for further adaptation, subject to the necessary consents.

A gated entrance opens to an attractive cobbled courtyard, providing private parking and access to the former stable buildings, while a pathway leads to the principal entrance and the beautifully established gardens beyond. The conservatory forms a delightful introduction to the house, filled with natural light and enjoying attractive views across the garden

At the heart of the home is a welcoming country kitchen, designed as a natural gathering place for everyday family life. Opposite, the principal sitting room is both elegant and inviting, centred around a wood-burning stove and opening directly onto the garden through glazed doors, allowing the outside to become an extension of the living space during the warmer months. A generous dining hall provides an excellent setting for formal dining and entertaining, while an adjoining second reception room offers considerable flexibility as an additional sitting room or fifth bedroom. To the rear of the property, a double bedroom and shower room provide well-considered accommodation for guests or those seeking the convenience of single-level living.

The first floor has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise light and space. Above the former stable block, a particularly impressive principal bedroom created through a sympathetic conversion by the current owners, enjoys a peaceful outlook and benefits from an en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms, a study area and a well-appointed family bathroom complete the upper floor, providing comfortable and well-balanced accommodation throughout.

The garden is a particular feature of The Coach House, offering a wonderfully private setting that complements the character of the house. Extending to the side and rear, the mature gardens comprise lawn bordered by established shrubs, flowering herbaceous borders and colour throughout the seasons.

To the front, the attractive cobbled courtyard provides ample off-street parking and serves the substantial garage and former stable block. These versatile outbuildings offer excellent storage and workshop space and present an exciting opportunity for further enhancement, whether for home working, hobbies or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.

Combining historic character with flexible accommodation, generous garden and highly adaptable outbuildings, The Coach House presents a rare opportunity for a modern buyer.
