There is an attached garage with twin timber doors to the front and door to the rear garden, workshop and additional utility/boot room.
The pretty conservation village of Skirling is situated approximately 2 miles from the thriving country town of Biggar. It is within easy reach of Edinburgh (approx 28 miles), Glasgow (approx 36 miles) and the M74, making it a popular area for those seeking country living within easy access of the city.
As well as offering rural bliss, Biggar is a thriving former market town situated a stone’s throw from the Scottish Borders. It has long been a popular commute for those seeking country living within easy access of the City Centre. Biggar is just 28 miles from Edinburgh and 39 from Glasgow and is well located for access to the M8, M9, M74 and both Edinburgh and Glasgow International Airports.
The bustling High Street boasts an excellent range of general stores, speciality retail outlets, cafes and restaurants. Biggar has a golf course, boating pond and tennis courts, along with well-patronised bowling and rugby clubs. Whatever your interest there are various clubs and associations ranging from bridge to theatre workshop, music to rambling, as well as the prize-winning Biggar and Upper Clydesdale Museum. Biggar also boasts the famous Purves Puppet Theatre and the popular, family-friendly, Biggar Little Festival which is held in October. The surrounding countryside provides almost limitless opportunities for fishing, hillwalking, trail running and mountain biking, (the nearby Glentress Forest is a mountain biking mecca).
For education, there is transport provided for Broughton Primary School & Peebles High School.
