Leabrae, 38 High Cross Avenue, Melrose, The Scottish Borders, TD6 9SU
Guide Price £550,000

Leabrae is a deceptively spacious three/four-bedroom detached house in a much sought after residential area of the Borders town of Melrose. Dating from 1860, the property is within walking distance of the Borders General Hospital and the new rail-link running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh which is only one and a half miles away.
The house benefits from a number of period features, including working shutters in a number of rooms, cornicing, sash and case windows and distinctive sunburst panelling in the bay windows.
Internally, the house offers flexible living over two floors and comprises three main bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, a shower room, a sitting room, a dining kitchen, a family room/bedroom four, an office, a utility room and an integral garage. With excellent storage in the floored attic, there is potential to extend the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.
Externally, there is an attractive front garden with path to the front door and a private gated driveway leading down to the rear of the property with extensive parking for several cars. The garden is a particular feature and has an array of well stocked borders with shrubs and small trees with large lawn and charming patio area for al fresco entertaining. The two garden sheds and revolving summer house are also included in the price.

Only two and a half miles from the new Borders Railway, which runs from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, it is conveniently located for commuting, and sits in a strong primary and secondary school catchment. Edinburgh is also easily accessible via the A68, or the A7 with most Borders towns readily available from this central location.

Edinburgh 39 miles. Galashiels 5 miles. Tweedbank 1.5 miles. Peebles 22 miles. (All distances are approximate)
