Guide Price £235,000

Byfield is a deceptively spacious three/four-bedroom terraced house which lies across three levels whilst benefitting from attractive rural views. Requiring a degree of upgrading, it would make a lovely family home.
Internally, the flexible accommodation comprises three main bedrooms, a bathroom, a shower room, a sitting room, a dining room/bedroom four, a kitchen, a utility/shower room, and downstairs wc.
Externally, the property benefits from a small range of outbuildings, with small courtyard leading to extensive garden to the rear, which is a particular feature, along with a garage and parking space to the front of the property.
The village of Maxton is only a mile and a half from the popular Borders village of St. Boswells, which sits in a strong school catchment, and provides some excellent amenities.
Most Border towns are readily accessible from the area, as is Berwick-upon-Tweed which has a mainline railway connection to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London. The Borders Railway, running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, lies approximately eight and a half miles away and adds to the accessibility of the St. Boswells area.
Kelso 8.5 miles. Edinburgh 40 miles. Melrose 6.5 miles. St. Boswells 1.5 miles. Tweedbank 8.5 miles. (All distances are approximate)
