14 Riverside Drive, Tweedbank, Galashiels

Positioned in a popular residential area towards the edge of the village, Riverside Drive is a premium and quiet cul de sac of modern home - ideally positioned for the Border Rail Link, with the local Primary School and Borders General Hospital within walking distance.

With a sheltered garden frontage and driveway extending to the garage, access opens from both sides to the enclosed wrap around garden set to the rear - a super space for young children and for entertaining. The main door opens to a vestibule and bright hallway, with a choice of public rooms, a useful ground level bedroom and a useful cloakroom on the ground floor.

Having undergone recent refurbishment the open plan dining kitchen is stylish and elegant; fitted with on trend cabinetry, streamlined in-built appliances, and a generous dining area enjoying a fantastic dual aspect. This flows through to a relaxed sun room accessing the patio and garden.

To the other side of the hallway, a sumptuous lounge; generously proportioned and finished in comfortable tones with plenty of space for a selection of freestanding furnishings. A ground level double bedroom opens quietly to the front, with a useful cloakroom and laundry cupboard adjacent, along with a selection of in-built storage areas.

Upstairs, two further double bedrooms are beautifully finished; with the master bedroom including a sleek shower room and in-built wardrobe space, with a family bathroom across the landing.

Externally the garden is a great complement to the accommodation; level and fully enclosed with complete privacy backing onto woodland, the garden is largely laid to lawn with planted borders, a section of patio and gated access round either side to the front drive and garage.

Location

Tweedbank, as the name suggests, sits adjacent to the River Tweed, and approximately 500 metres down river from Abbotsford House, the historic home of Sir Walter Scott. Abbotsford Estate is one of the most significant designed landscapes in Scotland, offering 6 walking trails, some of which follow the original paths laid out by Scott himself along the riverside, through the wonderful woodlands, taking in Tweedbank and Gunknowe Loch; a picturesque local nature reserve, in the heart of the village and home to the local ducks and swans.

The village lies between Melrose and Galashiels and is a popular choice for house hunters; with a peaceful yet central location it offers excellent transport links, ideally positioned for the commuter, with the capital city of Edinburgh under an hour’s drive and within easy walking distance of the popular Borders Rail Link.

An excellent and varied range of shops are available at nearby Melrose and Galashiels, including retail park with high street chains, as well as providing independent and specialist shopping, medical facilities and schools from nursery to secondary. The area has a strong sporting connection, with local rugby, football, golf, tennis and horse riding facilities close by and is surrounded by beautiful Borders countryside; with unlimited walks, river spots, hikes and trails.
