Description
Description
Altrive is a substantial and stone-built period house, set behind a mature front garden and presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a home of notable scale, presence and architectural charm in Peebles. With its handsome stone façade, bay window, traditional sash and case windows the house immediately conveys the grace and permanence associated with fine Borders villas.
Extending to approximately 2,356 sq ft in total, the accommodation is arranged over two principal floors and offers excellent flexibility for family living, entertaining and home working. The ground floor is particularly well balanced, with a welcoming central hall leading to a generous dining room, a well-proportioned sitting room, a study and a kitchen, together with useful ancillary accommodation including a store, bathroom/shower room access to the back of the house. The first floor provides five bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal bedroom with a bay window and generous proportions and views to the hills beyond Peebles.
To the front of the house is a garden set behind a low stone wall with pedestrian gate leading to the front door. At the back of the house is a mature garden with lawns and mature shrubs and trees.
Location
Altrive sits centrally within the historic town of Peebles. This attractive town offers excellent local amenities with shops, restaurants, professional services and supermarkets. It also has a primary school within a mile from the house with the High School just the other side of the river.
Peebles is well placed for the commuter. Edinburgh is only 23 miles to the north and Glasgow 53 miles to the northwest. Edinburgh Airport (27 miles) has an increasing number of domestic and international flights. Peeblesshire is one of the most beautiful and accessible parts of the Borders with rolling hills, farmland and woodlands. The area is renowned for its outdoor activities.
There are golf courses at Peebles (a short distance from the house), Innerleithen and Cardrona. The Peebles Hydro and Cardrona Hotel both offer good leisure facilities, while the Tweed Valley, including Glentress Forest and Innerleithen, is a world renowned location for mountain bikers. The River Tweed offers many beautiful walks and, of course, fishing.
