  • Spacious Four-Bedroom Semi-Detached House
  • Requires a Fair Degree of Upgrading
  • Potential to Extend
  • Large Garden
  • Southerly Views
  • Strong School Catchment
  • Excellent Transport Links
  • Charming Village Location

East Bourtrees is a deceptively spacious four-bedroom semi-detached house situated on the western fringes of the charming village of Maxton. Only a mile and a half from the popular Borders village of St. Boswells, the property, which requires a fair degree of upgrading and refurbishment provides flexible family living throughout, with the potential to extend the current footprint, subject to the necessary permissions.
Of particular note is the generous garden ground accessed by a driveway that leads to a gravel sweep at the front, with the garden sitting to the rear, side and front which is south-facing. The property is also located in a strong school catchment with the Borders Railway station at Tweedbank, and the A68 offering excellent transport links to Edinburgh and the North of England.
Lying across two levels the accommodation comprises of four main bedrooms, an ensuite shower room, a family bathroom, a sitting room, a dining room, a breakfasting kitchen, a utility room, and a downstairs wc. There is also good storage throughout which is particularly useful as well as gas fired central heating system, although it is currently disconnected.
Externally, a gated entrance to a driveway which leads up to the property and a gravel sweep at the front. The garden ground is predominantly laid to lawn on all sides and there are borders and semi-mature trees, with hedging. With south-facing views there are plentiful areas to sit out with the garden providing an excellent space for informal entertaining.
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)

Location:
East Bourtrees is located on the fringes of the charming village of Maxton only one and a half miles from the popular Borders village of St. Boswells, which benefits from the famous Buccleuch Arms Hotel with Blue Coo Bistrot, a small supermarket, an award-winning bookshop, a garage, local cricket, tennis, golf and rugby clubs and a variety of small shops.
There is also a highly regarded primary school and the property is also within the Earlston High School catchment. Nearby Melrose offers a wider range of amenities as well as the well-respected St Mary’s Preparatory School.
The area is one of great scenic beauty with the River Tweed snaking its way through the Borders countryside with its pretty towns and villages. Fishing, golf, shooting, horse riding, mountain biking and walking are all readily available. Kelso (10 miles away) is a thriving market town with a larger array of amenities including a racecourse, the historic Floors Castle, home of the Duke of Roxburghe, and a championship golf course.
Alternatively, Galashiels has a large selection of High Street names such as Tesco, ASDA, Next and Marks & Spencer, with Kelso also benefitting from a Sainsburys supermarket.
St. Boswells sits off the A68 which is the main route between Edinburgh to the North and Newcastle to the South, with International airports located in these cities. Berwick-upon-Tweed, reachable in under one hour has a mainline railway serving the East Coast, and a fast train to London taking around four hours. 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.
