Strathannan is a deceptively spacious four-bedroom detached house situated in a desirable residential area of the much sought-after Borders town of Melrose. With two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor, along with spacious living accommodation throughout it provides an excellent family home with charming views.
Within walking distance of the town centre, and the Borders General Hospital, the property is approximately one and a half miles away from the rail-link at Tweedbank which runs to Edinburgh. The property also sits within a strong primary and secondary school catchment which is a particular bonus.
Internally, the flexible living space, which lies across two levels, comprises four bedrooms, an ensuite shower room, a family bathroom, a further shower room, a large sitting room, a dining room, a breakfasting kitchen, and a sun room. In addition to the living space there is an abundance of storage to the eaves and attic, a large airing cupboard, an integral garage with workshop and greenhouse off, plus a sun porch to the rear overlooking the lovely garden. With potential to extend the current footprint, there is also a real flame gas fire, gas central heating and double glazing providing a warm and comfortable home.
Externally, the house sits well back from the road and occupies an extensive plot surrounded by the most desirable garden ground which includes a circular tarmac driveway, offering plentiful parking and access to the integral garage. There are also attractive borders and a central circular lawn adorning the front. However, the feature of this property is the garden to the rear which is stunning. Mainly laid to lawn with fabulous, well stocked borders with an abundance of plants, shrubs and trees, there are also numerous areas to sit out and enjoy the sunshine, including the generous terraced area, plus strategically placed ‘sitooteries’ to enjoy this stunning outside space which is ideal for outside entertaining.
The property is also conveniently located for commuting, via the aforementioned railway, with Edinburgh also easily accessible via the A68, and most Borders towns readily available from this central location.
