strong links to nearby Melrose and St Boswells,
The property itself is a striking sandstone Victorian home with many traditional features retained such as the original fireplaces and coving. With a choice of public rooms and a modernised kitchen on the ground floor, the property makes the most of open outlooks across the private wrap around garden. Three generous bedrooms are set on the first floor, with a smaller fourth bedroom or study, again allowing plenty of space for a growing family or hosting guests.
The outdoor complements the country aspect, with the large wrap around plot securing privacy and peace with mature sheltering trees and hedging. Largely laid to lawn and fully secured with fencing, there is no end of potential for play or further landscaping.
