Situation
11 East High Street sits just off the high street of the historic Royal Burgh of Lauder. Lauder offers all the facilities expected of a thriving small town including a Co-operative supermarket, a popular art gallery and coffee shop, a delicatessen, three hotels, an artisan baker, an award-winning butcher, a greengrocer, a petrol station, a pharmacy, a post office and a number of independent retailers contributing to the strong sense of local community. Both the primary school and the health centre have been rebuilt in recent years. Lauder lies in the catchment area for the highly regarded Earlston High School (7 miles), which enjoys a splendid new campus and consistently scores well in national league tables. In the private sector, St Mary’s School in Melrose (10 miles) includes kindergarten, pre-prep and prep classes. Being both close to the Lammermuir Hills and at the start of the Southern Upland Way, Lauder is able to take advantage of all the outdoor opportunities nearby including walking and riding, the latter either informally or during the week of the Common Riding. Field sports and fishing on the Leader and the Tweed are also all readily on hand. There is also a community run Leisure centre and gym as well as a football club with youth and amateur teams. It is possible to commute to Edinburgh by car (50-minutes) and by bus, making this property well positioned for those looking for a more peaceful way of life while still being commutable to the capital. The Borders Railway Terminus in Stow just a 6-mile drive away also provides a direct rail link into Edinburgh.
