The property has been extensively and sympathetically upgraded and renovated by the current owners, successfully combining the old with the new whilst retaining many of the beautiful period features, which include some stunning stained glass leadlight windows, original woodwork and ornate plaster cornicework.
Internally, the incredibly versatile accommodation lies over three levels and has six bedrooms, one of which has an unusually spacious en-suite, a shower room, a stunning sitting room with corner bay and fireplace with open fire, an open plan dining room/kitchen, a utility room, and a useful downstairs WC. Additionally, there is an extremely useful cellar which has potential for several uses. The windows are double glazed and include several new Velux windows and there is a new gas heating system, with the boiler and hot water tank located within the utility room, which was formerly an outhouse now incorporated within the house.
Externally, vehicular access to the house is from the rear where there is a pull in parking space and gates enclosing access to the detached timber garage. The lovely mature gardens are fairly sizeable and have been designed to be very pet/child friendly, with gates and fences separating the sections, linked by strategically positioned paths. Whilst predominantly sloped, they include a flat grassy area to the back, ideal for use as a drying or play area, and are planted with a variety of both mature and young trees and shrubs.
Only eighteen miles from the Borders Railway, which runs to Edinburgh, Hawick is conveniently located for commuting, with Edinburgh and Carlisle easily accessible via the A7 and most Borders towns within easy reach.
