A spacious five-bedroom detached home on a generous corner plot in Oxton, offered freehold and built c.1996–2002. The house provides flexible accommodation that can suit a family needing multiple bedrooms, home working space or a formal dining room. Principal highlights include large private gardens, a substantial double garage with electric roller door, off-street parking and far-reaching rural views.
Practical strengths include double glazing (installed before 2002), oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a large utility room and WC for everyday convenience. The property sits within easy reach of the A68 for commuting north to Edinburgh or south into the central Borders, and falls within the Earlston High School catchment.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the property currently has an EPC rating of D, oil heating (not a community supply), average broadband speeds and an expensive council tax band. The wider area is classified as a remoter, agricultural community with a higher level of area deprivation, which may affect services, investment prospects and resale comparables.
This home will suit buyers prioritising space, a rural setting and garaging who are willing to accept the upkeep and running costs associated with oil heating, an older EPC rating and the location’s limited local services. There is scope for energy improvements and cosmetic modernisation to enhance comfort and reduce running costs.
