THE PROPERTY Gattonside House is a magnificent four-storey villa built by John and Thomas Smith of Darnick in 1826. The property was the administrative headquarters of The Brothers of Charity for most of the 20th century. The property sits in generous grounds with mature trees and benefits from southerly views across the River Tweed to the Eildon Hills. Gattonside House and grounds are situated on the south side of the B6360 which runs through the village, with the River Tweed forming part of the southern boundary. The total site extends to around 33.1 acres (13.4 ha). There are currently two vehicular access points from the B6360. The main access will be in the centre of the site and the existing access to the western boundary by the Lodge is to be closed as part of the development and retained for the use of pedestrians and cyclists. Gattonside House is a Category B Listed classical villa built over four floors with adjacent chapel to the east. In addition to the main property, there is a former Coach House and Cottage to the west and north which are also Listed and a Lodge which is located at the western boundary of the site. Much of the site is undeveloped and a range of modern buildings are proposed for demolition as part of the redevelopment plan. These buildings formed part of a care facility and are now redundant as a smaller care home has been developed within the former walled garden. The site lies within the village Conservation Area, the Eildon and Leaderfoot National Scenic Area and is in an Area of Great Landscape Value.

LOCAL INFORMATION Gattonside is a small village in the Scottish Borders lying alongside the B6360 which connects to the main north-south trunk road, the A68. It is located on the north side of the River Tweed around 1.8 miles (2.9 kilometres) from Melrose; a foot bridge on the south side of the village also provides access to Melrose. Gattonside is well located for access to the regional centres being around 36.3 miles (58.4 kilometres) west of Berwick-upon- Tweed and 36.6 miles (4.7 kilometres) south-east of Edinburgh City Centre.
