Peaceful Home in Historic Borders Town

A traditional stone built semi-detached villa dating from 1890, situated on a quiet street in the historic ‘old town’ area of Peebles. Ideally located with the famous river Tweed five minutes walk from the front door, and the town centre, that gives access to shops, restaurants, gym, swimming pool and theatre, an easy 10 minutes walk in the other direction.

Our cosy home is spacious, comfortable and warm, with central heating throughout and an Aga cooking range in the kitchen. The ground floor comprises a lounge with traditional cornicing and wooden bay window, a well equipped kitchen including dishwasher, a large garden room with dining table and direct access to the patio, a utility room with further fridge and a freezer and washing machine. There is also a downstairs toilet. The two double bedrooms are located upstairs with the shower room and toilet. The main bedroom, at the back of the property, has a super king size bed and ample hanging/ storage space. The second bedroom, overlooking the front of the property, has a double bed. The shower room has a large walk in shower, toilet, handbasin and shaver point.

The house has gardens to front and rear - and depending on the time of year there may be fresh fruit and vegetables to harvest! There is a Larch building at the top of the back garden which includes an art room to which you would have access.
