A stunningly opulent mansion house with epic views out over the River Tweed has just gone up for sale. Glenmayne is an impressive A-listed Victorian mansion which has been completely renovated to create a luxurious country house in Galashiels in the Borders.
Built in the Scottish Baronial style, estate agent Knight Frank, the eight-bedroom mansion comes with five toilets, traditional features such as wood panelling and marble fireplaces, and comes with its own library, games room/ bar and even a gym.
Priced at offers over £4m it really has to be seen to be believed. Designed to enhance the original standing of the house, the current owners have turned it into a modern home which is approached through a splendid set of spectacular wrought iron gates designed by Robert Lorimer.
Outside you'll find a “turtle fountain”, which the current owners based on the “Fontana delle Tataruaghe” which is located in Piazza Mattei in the Sant’Angelo district of Rome, as well as a wonderful, terraced seating area and pagoda.
The property also comes with a former walled garden which now houses a 45m x 19m all-weather riding arena equipped with dressage mirrors and a viewing area.
Also part of the 30-acre site is an attractive Italian garden and the three-bedroom Glenmayne Lodge, a cottage which can be found close to the entrance gates.
