Located in a prime position in this popular Borders market town, a well-proportioned, traditional sandstone townhouse, providing spacious & flexible living accommodation, with 5 bedrooms over three floors, with a 1 bed annexe, adjacent private garden, courtyard, parking & three garages to rear.
Offered to the market with no ongoing chain, and found in generally good order, but in need of updating and priced accordingly, a great opportunity to acquire a deceptively spacious, family home, to the northern fringe of this sought after Borders town.
Dating to the late Georgian / early Victorian period, with a host of character features having been retained, the property is built in local red sandstone, and is well known in the area having originally been a "manse" to the nearby church, and then the home of the local doctor.
Following a traditional 4 square layout, the property has been extended to the rear, the accommodation now comprising to the ground floor a central entrance hall, with wine cellar below, sitting and dining rooms to the front, study and kitchen to the rear, beyond which is a utility room which connects to the annexe which consists of a shower room, living / garden room and double bedroom with kitchenette.
To the first floor are 3 double bedrooms, the master having an ensuite bathroom, and the separate family bathroom.
To the top floor are two further double bedrooms and a shower room.
Externally, to the rear of the property is an enclosed courtyard with parking, and further parking in front of the three garages.
Connected by a short pathway to the rear of the annexe is the private enclosed garden, which is mainly to lawn with well stocked beds and borders.
Ideal as a family home, or with excellent potential for use as a bed and breakfast, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
