High Street, Earlston TD4


Description
Ideally placed within the central Borders, the Old Post Office is a mixed residential and commercial premises offering excellent scope as a business with refurbished accommodation and the exciting prospect of further development to fit a range of uses for a buyer in search of outbuildings and work space.

Set in the village of Earlston the property currently hosts a large retail unit with adjoining workspace and Old Smiddy, connecting to beautifully presented accommodation above, with an enclosed garden and a further stone built annexe. Having undergone extensive renovations and upgrades by the current owners, the retail and residential elements are defined with separate entrances – though the potential to create one cohesive home would be easy to create. In its current use it is the ideal purchase for those seeking a lifestyle choice blending both work and home, set within a well-placed village for amenities and transport links, as well as open countryside within walking distance.

The retail unit benefits a welcoming shop frontage with double window overlooking the High Street, with plenty of on-street parking and within a good footfall for further shops and facilities of Earlston. Trading as a successful homeware and gift shop, internally the premises is fitted with freestanding display units and furnishings, heating and electrics, neutral fitted flooring and a historic well – a charming feature with secure fitted surround and glazed top. Two adjoining doors open to the rear; one extending directly to the entrance hall for the accommodation, and a second leading onto a cloakroom w/c and workspace servicing the shop, and then to the Smiddy.

The traditional Smiddy building and it’s adjoining workspace have both benefitted new roof timbers and attic beams, making it an ideal prospect for development. Currently still housing the original forge, whether it's for work or hobby space, or as a part of the existing accommodation, this is a great development opportunity.

Upstairs the accommodation is comfortable and spacious and has also been afforded upgrades to the condition and décor throughout. With a traditional tiled vestibule and entrance, a stair extends to the main accommodation comprising; lounge with double window to the front and open fireplace, neighbouring dining kitchen, fitted bathroom and the principal double bedroom, with two further bedrooms on the upper level benefitting refitted double glazing installed throughout the frontage of the accommodation.

Externally, a walled garden sits quietly to the rear and boasts yet further opportunity! Currently cultivated to host a quiet seating area with lawn and storage, a fantastic stone built both-office sits in its grounds, fully fitted with electrics and floored attic, again with a host of possible uses as a home office, garden room or annex accommodation.
