The living area offers plenty of space for lounge furniture, whilst a fitted table, with space for four diners, creates an ideal setting for sit-down meals and dinner parties.

Area - Stow

Some seven miles north of Galashiels on the A7, the historic village of Stow promises an enticing escape to the country and is particularly convenient for commuters to Edinburgh. Stow railway station reopened in 2015 as part of the new Borders Railway and allows swift links into the heart of the capital in just 40 minutes. Historic landmarks include The Old Kirk, which was built in the 1400s on the site of a much older place of worship dating back to the 600s. Just opposite is Pack Bridge: the very first bridge across the Gala Water, built-in 1659. For everyday essentials, the village boasts a shop and post office, a café and gallery, a health centre, The Station House restaurant and bar, as well as a bookshop. The close community offers a fantastic range of clubs and associations to suit all ages, interests and abilities. These include Stow Pipe Band, plus a bowling club with an adjacent park, football pitch and children’s play area. Stow Town Hall also hosts a range of year-round events and activities, including fitness classes. More extensive retail and leisure facilities are available in nearby Galashiels, which is a short bus, train or car journey away. Schooling is provided locally at Stow Primary School, followed by secondary education at Galashiels Academy or, alternatively, Earlston High School. Galashiels is also home to the Scottish Borders Campus of both Borders College and Heriot-Watt University.
