South Riggs, Bowden, Melrose

Nestled at the foot of the Eildon Hills in the delightful village of Bowden, South Riggs enjoys an enviable position on the fringes of the village, with open aspects from the front of the property across rolling countryside.

The generous plot provides excellent levels of privacy and off street parking. This spot in a popular village is just a short drive to nearby amenities in St Boswells and Melrose.

The three bedroom detached bungalow offers an enormous amount of potential for extending or more obviously, an attic conversion to create additional bedrooms, or an impressive master with en-suite facilities - subject to the necessary permissions, South Riggs has the potential to make a stunning family home, but equally would suit those looking to downsize or retire to a peaceful Borders village.

Externally, the bungalow sits within a generous wrap-around gardens, with mature gardens including a large patio area, a small lawn to the front and mature hedging encompassing the property and providing good privacy from surrounding properties. There is also a greenhouse, timber shed, potted plants and raised beds, perfect for the green fingered enthusiast! A driveway provides parking for several vehicles and a single garage with abundant space useful for external storage.
