This mid-terraced two-bedroom house in Newtown St. Boswells offers spacious rooms and a large south-facing rear garden, ideal for family use or rental income. The layout includes a generous lounge/dining room with French doors, kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and two double bedrooms plus store room upstairs. At approximately 856 sq ft, the accommodation feels larger than many comparable terraces.
The property requires a degree of renovation: the exterior shows weathering and moss, some repair is needed, and the interior would benefit from modernisation to maximise value. Services are in place — gas central heating, double glazing and mains connections — which reduces the scope of major upfront works, though the boiler is housed in a store room and should be inspected.
This is presented as an opportunity for a first-time buyer or small-scale investor to add value. It is offered £10,000 below the home report valuation and sits in a popular commuter town with local shops, a primary school and good road links to Melrose and the A68. Practical drawbacks include slow broadband speeds and a local area classification indicating high deprivation, which may affect long-term demand and rental yields.
Externally there are private front and rear gardens, a garden shed and unrestricted on-street parking nearby. Council Tax is low (Band B). Buyers should factor renovation costs, potential garden upkeep, and the slow broadband when assessing affordability and return on investment.
