7 Scott Road, Lauder, Scottish Borders, TD2 6QH
Guide Price £160,000

7 Scott Road is an immaculately presented and deceptively spacious two-bedroom semi-detached house situated in the heart of the much sought-after Borders Town of Lauder.
The property would make an excellent first home or investment opportunity, offering commuter access to Edinburgh via the A68, or by train from Stow, that runs to Edinburgh, which lies approximately six miles away.
Situated in an excellent school catchment with strong transport links, the accommodation lies across two floors and comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, a sitting room, a breakfasting kitchen, and a study. With good storage, the property also has double glazing and gas central heating.
Externally, the property benefits from on-street parking and an area of lawn immediately to the front of the property. The large, enclosed garden sits to the rear with access onto the patio area from the sitting room, and a gated access to the side. An excellent space for more informal entertaining, it offers opportunity to extend the downstairs, subject to the necessary permissions.
Edinburgh is easily accessible via the A68, as are most Border towns. The Borders Railway, running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, has a stop at Stow which is approximately six miles away, with the journey from Stow to Edinburgh Waverley being around forty-five minutes.
Edinburgh 27 miles. Earlston 7.5 miles. Stow 6.0 miles. Melrose 12.5 miles. (All distances are approximate)

The thriving old mill town of Galashiels sixteen miles to the South West offers a fuller range of shopping facilities, which include Tesco, ASDA, Next and Marks & Spencer.
Local tourist attractions include Thirlestane Castle on the southern side of Lauder, nearby Mellerstain House, and Abbotsford House on the outskirts of Melrose. There are also a variety of outdoor pursuits in the area that include fishing, rough and syndicated shooting, horse riding, golf, mountain biking and a selection of walks that cross through the Scottish Borders.
Local schools include the Lauder primary school, which has recently been built, the highly regarded St Mary’s preparatory school in Melrose, and Earlston High School.
The Borders General Hospital lies just outside the town of Melrose which is only twelve and a half miles away, and Lauder sits in an easily accessible area with Edinburgh in easy reach via the A68, which also provides links to the north of England. The Borders Railway, running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, has a stop at Stow which is approximately six miles away.
