Morven is a substantial 1930s detached family home set on a generous south-facing plot in the popular Borders town of Melrose. The house retains period character — curved bay windows, a gabled roof and generous room proportions — arranged over two floors with flexible reception space for everyday family life and entertaining.
The ground floor centres on a dramatic double-height reception hall, formal sitting room and a large dining kitchen with shaker units and an AGA. A ground-floor bedroom suite and utility room provide genuine one-level living or convenient guest accommodation. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and loft access to a converted games room that could be adapted further subject to consents.
Outside the wraparound gardens are mostly lawned, enjoy a favoured south-facing aspect and include specimen trees, outbuildings, a chalet hut with firepit and a large double garage. The location is within easy walking distance of Melrose centre, schools and transport links, offering the blend of town conveniences and attractive rural outlooks.
Practical points to note: the house is older and will suit buyers prepared to maintain or sympathetically update period fabric — walls are timber frame with partial insulation assumed, the EPC is D and council tax is band G (quite expensive). The loft/games-room offers scope for extra accommodation but would require consent for further conversion.
