An extremely handsome traditional three-bedroom detached family house with a double garage occupying a pleasant position situated within a desirable area located in the picturesque Borders town of Peebles. Named “Terret”, the property was originally built in around 1890 and has been extended and remodelled over the years creating a spacious family home offering accommodation totalling an impressive 1,717 square feet over two floors. Benefiting from generous private gardens to the front and side of the property, a location just a short walk from the bustling town centre with excellent amenities, and access to the open countryside on the doorstep, this delightful property is sure to prove popular and early viewing comes highly recommended.
In need of slight modernisation, the internal accommodation comprises: Welcoming entrance hallway with cloak cupboard and an extremely sizeable, and useful storage cupboard. Featuring a large arched window to the front, the relaxing sitting room is of a generous size and enjoys a leafy outlook over the front gardens.

Open to the kitchen through an archway is the formal dining room which is flooded with natural daylight via large dual aspect windows to the front and side of the property and allows the ideal space for entertaining family and friends. A stairwell within the dining room leads up to the first floor landing which gives access to all upper floor accommodation. With a window to the side of the property, the principal bedroom is of a generous size and features a separate dressing area which is fitted with built in wardrobes and also gives access to a private en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, a bright and airy comfortable double enjoying a triple aspect with windows to the front, side and rear, and a generous single which features a rear facing window. Completing the accommodation of this wonderful property is a large family bathroom which incorporates a fitted vanity unit with WC and wash hand basin, and there is a separate panelled bath with electric shower over. A Rear facing window allows in the natural light.

The front garden is fully laid to lawn bound by a low stone wall. The side garden which is accessed directly from the kitchen enjoys a west facing aspect and has a large area of lawn, with planted borders, a raised bedding area, and a paved patio are ideal for alfresco dining in the summer months. The side garden is bound by both traditional stone walling, and timber fencing. The large section of ground opposite the property is again fully laid to lawn with an array of mature trees.
