The Gables is a charming and unique three-bedroom house situated in the popular village of Gattonside, which lies just across the River Tweed from the much sought after Borders town of Melrose.
Dating from the 1700s and converted around fifty years ago to make the most lovely home, this desirable property occupies a large plot of extensive garden ground, in a peaceful residential area. With plentiful driveway parking and some outbuildings, which includes an office, workshop and a garage at road level, there is potential for ancillary accommodation within the large garden grounds, along with opportunity to extend the existing footprint, subject to the necessary permissions.
Gattonside is based in a highly accessible position with the A68 only a short distance away and is approximately one and a half miles from the Borders Railway, which runs from Tweedbank to Edinburgh. As well as sitting in a strong primary and secondary school catchment, the Borders General Hospital also lies on the outskirts of Melrose.
Internally, the main accommodation which is on a split level measures 165 square metres/1776 square feet, and comprises two main bedrooms, an ensuite shower room, a bathroom, an open plan sitting room with dining area, a fully fitted breakfasting kitchen, a family room/bedroom three and a utility room. A particular feature is an internal staircase leading down to a large and useful office, with store room/cellar off, plus adjacent workshop and garage. With plentiful storage throughout, the property has gas fired central heating, double glazing and a living flame gas fire.
Externally, the property has a gated entrance leading to plentiful driveway parking for several cars. The large garden is a particular feature of this property and comprises extensive lawn, attractive borders and flower beds plus a vegetable patch, greenhouse and summer house. A covered barbecue area to the side, off the utility room, provides an excellent space for more informal entertaining.. The additional benefit of the ground level space provides an office, plus a workshop and adjacent garage provides you with a very flexible home in a superb location. Only a relatively short walk into Melrose via The Chain Bridge over the River Tweed, Edinburgh and Newcastle are easily accessible via the A68, and most Border towns are readily available from this central location, with the aforementioned Borders Railway nearby.
