Summary - UPPER ALDIE, ALDIE CRESCENT, MELROSE, DARNICK TD6 9AY
5 bed 2 bath Apartment
Expansive five-bedroom period apartment with garden, garage and strong school catchment.
Five-bedroom double upper apartment over two principal floors plus attic rooms
Upper Aldie is a rare five-bedroom double upper apartment set within a handsome period mansion on the edge of Melrose. The main-door flat occupies two principal floors (with attic rooms) and delivers spacious rooms, high ceilings, original sash windows and abundant natural light — ideal for a growing family who value character and space. The property includes a private garden, driveway parking and a garage with workshop and storage, giving genuinely useful outdoor and secure storage for vehicles and equipment.
Practical day-to-day living is supported by gas central heating, good broadband speeds and a strong local school catchment. The Borders Railway at Tweedbank is about a mile away, and the Borders General Hospital is within easy walking distance, making commuting and healthcare access straightforward. Attractive elevated views and established stone boundary walls and mature planting add privacy and a pleasant outlook from the raised lawn and patio.
Buyers should note material running costs and environmental ratings: Council Tax Band F and an EPC rating of D58 will increase ongoing expenses. The listing sits in an area described as having high local deprivation, which may affect resale dynamics in some market segments. The accommodation is presented as immaculately kept, but the age and size of the building mean periodic maintenance and sensitive upkeep of period features will be required.
Overall, this is a versatile, characterful family home with scope for flexible use of the second-floor/attic rooms and excellent external storage. It will suit buyers seeking period charm, generous internal space and convenient Borders transport links, while being prepared for the costs associated with a larger, older property.
