Summary - LOWER MELROSE, OLD CHURCH ROAD, PEEBLES EH45 8LH
Two-bedroom ground-floor flat with private front and rear gardens
Set within a handsome 1870 stone house in Peebles, this spacious two-bedroom ground-floor flat offers 895 sq ft of character-filled living with private front and rear gardens. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space benefits from dual-aspect windows and a wood-burning stove, blending period charm with contemporary fittings. The kitchen includes integrated appliances and the fully updated shower room provides modern comfort. FTTP broadband, gas central heating and excellent mobile signal support working-from-home needs.
Externally, low-maintenance front landscaping, a timber storage shed and a secluded rear bistro area make outdoor space easy to enjoy. On-street parking is available directly outside. The property sits within the Peebles Town Conservation Area, so exterior changes may be subject to controls. There is no flooding risk and the EPC is rated C (72) with potential to improve.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, included fixtures and fittings, and an accessible ground-floor layout suitable for buyers seeking single-level living. Notable considerations: the building dates from 1870 and, while much appears updated, older properties can carry ongoing maintenance and conservation-related repair costs. The local area is identified as very deprived, which may influence resale and local services for some buyers.
