An immaculately presented four-bedroom detached house in Gattonside, offering roomy family living across two floors and a generous, well-kept garden. The elevated position provides attractive, charming views and the large lawn, drystone walls and decked entertaining area create a flexible outdoor space for children and adults alike. Practical features include a detached garage, extensive driveway parking, gas central heating and double glazing.
The layout suits family life: sitting and dining rooms, a fully fitted kitchen with conservatory, utility room and a ground-floor WC, plus four bedrooms with built-in wardrobes in three rooms, an en-suite and a family bathroom. The property sits approximately 1.5 miles from the Borders Railway and a short walk into Melrose via the Chain Bridge, making schools, shops and local amenities easily reachable.
Notable positives for buyers include being approximately £40,000 below the home report valuation and a location close to Borders General Hospital and strong primary/secondary school catchments. That said, there are practical drawbacks to note: broadband speeds are slow, the council tax sits at a high band (G), and the wider area records indicators of higher deprivation. Buyers seeking ultra-fast connectivity or low running costs should factor these points into plans.
Overall, this traditional-style detached house will appeal most to families seeking a comfortable, well-presented home with generous outside space and good local amenities, while purchasers wanting full modern connectivity or the lowest ongoing tax burden may need to allow for upgrades or budget adjustments.
