Location
Situated at Yarrow Fues, the area is a firm favourite with those who appreciate the outdoors, in search of all the benefits of rural living and looking for a change of pace and scenery. There is no shortage of walks, cycle routes, horse trails and undiscovered countryside to explore, with local landmarks such as St Mary’s loch close to hand. Yarrow Feus strikes an excellent balance with modern life being well connected just off the A708, allowing swift access to Selkirk, Innerleithen and Moffat, the hamlet is a 30 minute drive to the M6 and an hour to Edinburgh, making it an easy consideration for the commuter. Yarrow Feus benefits a well regarded local Inn “The Gordon Arms”, with a primary school within walking distance from the Steading. Secondary education is available at nearby Selkirk, some 20 minutes drive, as well as further amenities including supermarket, medical centre, bank, post office and a variety of independent retailers and sporting facilities. While rural, the Steading doesn’t feel in anyway isolated, as the conversion comprises four unique properties, with further neighbours and local farms a short stroll. The steadings are centred around a charming inner courtyard and number 4 is provided access for maintenance, but hugely benefits by its own private garden positioned to the far side – allowing those enviable far reaching views.
