Summary - SKIRMISH HILL, LYE ROAD, MELROSE, DARNICK TD6 9AT
3 bed 3 bath Detached Bungalow
Three double bedrooms with principal ensuite
Set on a generous plot on the edge of Melrose, this single-storey detached bungalow delivers bright, contemporary living with broad views to the Eildon Hills. Completed in 2017, the accommodation centres on a vaulted open-plan kitchen/living area with bifold doors to a sunken patio, plus a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove. Three double bedrooms include a principal ensuite and fitted wardrobes, making the layout especially practical for family life or downsizers who want one-level living.
Outside, gated parking for several cars leads to a detached double garage with power, light and water. The lawns and landscaped borders provide privacy and entertaining space; the site feels generous for the village location. Practical eco-features include an air-source heat pump and integrated kitchen appliances; the property is walkable to Melrose amenities and within easy reach of Tweedbank station for Edinburgh commuters.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the property sits within an area flagged as very deprived, council tax is Band E (relatively expensive), and mobile signal is average. The bungalow is well presented and largely move-in ready, but prospective purchasers should confirm any works or warranties given the 2017 build date.
Overall, this is a rare, low-maintenance single-level home in a desirable Border village. It will suit families seeking space and schools nearby, commuters wanting rail access, or buyers looking for a contemporary countryside home with strong outdoor amenities and secure parking.
