Sunnylea was built in the 1930's by Scotland's motorcycle grand prix winning racer (19 wins) James aka “Jimmie” Guthrie. Sunnylea is a substantial, beautifully presented, five bedroom Arts and Crafts family house. It was cleverly extended by the current owners, thereby adding two more bedrooms and two bathrooms, all the while retaining many of the original features such as the fine wooden floors throughout the house, together with
other mahogany and cedarwood features. The reception rooms are both spacious, and well proportioned.
Of particular note are the garden room and dining room, their use being interchangeable, with enough space in the garden room for the “home office”. These rooms, together with the living room and well-equipped kitchen, are the focus of the house providing fantastic space (along with the garden/terrace) for entertaining.
With an enclosed garden, at the front of the house are well stocked, terraced flower beds with block paved paths and drive extending around the side of the house to the extensive lawn that stretches down to the riverbank (separated by a fence). At the end of a drive is a double (tandem) garage and attached workshop or possible office space. Separated from the garden by a fence is a bridleway (owned) that leads down to and across the river which is used by equestrians all year for fording the river.
Services
Mains water and electricity, oil fired central heating, drainage to a septic tank and “Starlink” broadband. Electricity generated by solar panels is sold into the National Grid. These services have not been tested and therefore there is no warranty from the agents.
Sunnylea is situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders in the leafy suburbs of Hawick, on its southern edge, by the banks of The River Teviot. A good selection of shops and services is available in the town. Road connections
are very good; Carlisle has a regular main line intercity rail connection to the north and south. Galashiels, approximately 19 miles to the north, provides a regular service along the re-opened Waverley line linking the Scottish Borders and Edinburgh (journey time approximately 55 minutes).
The area has a good selection of schools with nursery, primary and secondary in the locality. This part of the world is noted for its sporting opportunities and facilities with golf courses, rugby grounds, cycling, shooting and fishing. This is “Reiver Country”; the surrounding countryside is famous for its scenic beauty and strong equestrian tradition with the annual Common Riding being a major feature in Hawick's historic, and social calendar. For those who enjoy walking, the opportunities are almost endless.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
