A look at Bannerrigg

Here are just a few photographs of Bannerrigg, we've tried to capture the ambience of this magnificent house but to truly understand why we think it's so special - you really must visit.

Exterior.

Bannerrigg is easily recognised by its green door.
Tub with a view.

Open the doors from the hot tub out into the garden and unwind after your day on the hill...add a glass of wine...perfect!
8 seat hot tub.

Nestled in the corner of the rear garden is our 8 seat hot tub it's in its own building so it can be used 365 days a year.
Rear patio.

At the rear of the house is a huge patio, which gets the sun until dusk - perfect for barbeques.

White Christmas?

We do get snow at The Terrace - we love it! Due to our proximity to the main roads snow isn't too much of an issue. The Council tend to get the main roads up and running quickly.
