A Frank Lloyd Wright-style Borders house is for sale at £625,000
Think of the pretty Borders town of Melrose, with its 12th-century abbey, and modernist architecture won't be the first thing that springs to mind.

Three-bedroom home Nimbus is believed to have been designed by the architect Hamish Bremner sometime in the 1960s. Its style is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian houses, with their grid-like patterns and flat roofs with cantilevered overhangs. In 1977, an extension and decked terraces were added by Ron Russell, a principal architect to the celebrated Peter Womersley, whose famous works around the Borders include Gala Fairydean
