The property
Beechhurst is a first floor flat within a divided Victorian mansion house dating from c1850. The property enjoys an idyllic location with attractive grounds and private gardens to side and has an attractive sandstone frontage, crow stepped gables, bay windows and castellated central tower. Unusually for an out of town property there is the advantage of mains gas believed to been provided at the insistence of the original mansion owner who had some influence as proprietor of the Hawick Gas Company! Beechhurst is set back off the road from Hawick to Bonchester Bridge with the original lodge house at the entrance and drive to the house set in surrounding grounds. A true country setting just two miles from the town centre. Hawick has a large range of shops and supermarkets (Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Lidl & Aldi), restaurants, schools, sports centre, theatre and cinema complex and the much acclaimed Wilton Lodge Park. The Borders Railway at Galashiels and Tweedbank lies 20 minutes away providing a rail link to the heart of Edinburgh with the main A7 some 30 miles to Carlisle and good links to airports with both Newcastle and Edinburgh within a 70 mile radius.
