WHEN Robert and Noreen Finlayson turned up to view the Walled Garden back in 2003, they were led by curiosity rather than house-hunting. The couple had moved into another house in Innerleithen, moving to the Borders from Edinburgh just three months previously.
“We had been searching in the Peebles area, and Innerleithen was a bit of a discovery for us,” Robert recalls.
Having just moved to a new-build property, they were in no rush to move again. Or so they thought. “We had spotted an advert for the Walled Garden and it sounded pretty amazing,” says Robert.
The house sits within a south-facing walled garden on the Caerlee estate, in a 1.5-acre plot that includes an area of mixed woodland, with a private woodland walk giving access to Caerlee Hill. “We were a bit intimidated about viewing the house at first because of the amount of land,” Robert explains, “but we had a quick look, thought it was probably out of our league and left it at that.”
Then, a month later, Robert spotted the fixed price sign. “Friends and family told us we were mad, but this was too good an opportunity to miss,” he says.
The Walled Garden’s previous owners, a professor and his wife, had designed and built the house in 1984. “They had the vision to have this house built within the confines of the walled garden, and it was very contemporary for its day with these big windows overlooking the Tweed,” Robert says. “Even the kitchen, although it was 20 years old when we bought the house, was expensive; it was all the best stuff of its time.”
The property had stood empty for a while before being sold, and when Robert, a project manager working in finance, and Noreen, a beauty therapist, arrived in January 2004, the nettles were standing 6ft high in the garden. As Robert says, “We didn’t even know if the central heating was going to work the day we moved in.”
