Access to the garage for vehicles is from the road and there is also access to it from the garden. The property is extremely private and has stunning views over the loch, which is popular for windsailing and fishing. The market town of is Selkirk 17 miles, and Moffat 16 miles. Edinburgh is 43 miles.
