Situated within a popular residential development the property enjoys views across to the Eildon Hills, with access to woodland walks as well as the neighbouring golf course.
Within walking distance of the town centre, and the Borders General Hospital, the property is approximately two 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 five double bedrooms, two ensuite shower rooms, a family bathroom, a sitting room, a family room, a breakfasting kitchen with dining area, a conservatory, an office off the rear hall leading to a play area which could offer an array of uses and is a real bonus, a utility room and a downstairs wc. Beautifully appointed throughout, the property includes a wood burning stove, granite worktops and integrated kitchen appliances plus excellent storage throughout with fitted wardrobes in four of the bedrooms. There is also cat 5 cabling to most rooms, double glazing and gas fired central heating providing a warm, and modern family home.
Externally, the house sits in an extensive plot surrounded by garden ground which includes generous lawn to the front with attractive borders, which are well stocked with plants and shrubs. There is also a spacious monobloc driveway offering parking for several cars to the front of the integral double garage. To the rear is a fabulous, enclosed garden with a most attractive backdrop of trees, and a gate leading into the woods offering a selection of walks on your doorstep. Landscaped, with double lawn, borders, raised planters, and a full width patio area plus an additional area in the corner of the garden allows for more informal entertaining. A particular feature is the sunken trampoline in the decking, plus extensive wood store to the side.
The development lies adjacent to the Melrose Golf Club which nestles below the Eildon Hills, and is also conveniently located for commuting with Edinburgh easily accessible via the A68, and most Borders towns readily available from this central location.
