2 bed Flat For Sale £335,000
Lower Tweedknowe is the most charming and spacious two-bedroom ground floor apartment situated in a prime residential area of the much sought-after Borders town of Melrose. Recently voted 'One of the Best Places to Live in Scotland in 2022' by the Sunday Times, there is excellent potential to extend the existing footprint, subject to the necessary permissions.
Containing some attractive period features, and beautifully maintained inside and out, the property forms part of a larger semi-detached house sitting in an excellent location only a short walk into the centre of town. The railway station at Tweedbank is only one and a half miles away, and the Borders General Hospital lies on the edge of Melrose which offers strong transport links and access to an array of amenities. Also located in a much sought after primary and secondary school catchment, the house also has charming garden ground, and plentiful private driveway parking.
Lying across one main level, but incorporating two cellar rooms, the generous accommodation comprises two double bedrooms, an ensuite shower room, a bathroom, a large sitting room, a dining kitchen and a snug.
There is an excellent feeling of space through this large apartment with good storage throughout, including the cellar space providing potential to work from home or use as a hobby space, plus gas central heating, making this a very flexible home in a highly accessible location.
Externally, there is a driveway to the side which provides useful off-street parking for around three cars, plus garden ground with small lawn and borders. To the side and rear is a fabulous, enclosed garden with extensive lawn, and a large patio providing excellent space for more informal entertaining. With an array of fruit trees, deep flower bed and shrubs there is also double gated access out onto Waverley Road.
Given the location, and its unique and deceptively spacious layout, it really is a property that should be viewed to be appreciated.
Edinburgh is easily accessible via the A68, with most Borders towns readily available from this central location, as well as via the aforementioned Borders Railway.
