Lauder Road, Stow, TD1

General Description
22 Lauder Road, Stow, is a very well-presented, semi-detached bungalow situated in a quiet residential area of Stow which was constructed in 1951. The property is of orlit construction under a pitched roof with interlocking tiles which has recently been scraped and treated for moss.

The street side elevations conceal a generous rear garden area which has been terraced for functionality. It has 4 sheds for ample outdoor storage as well as dog kennels. The rear garden can be accessed directly from the side of the property using the newly built private staircase as well as from the rear door in the kitchen up the shared staircase, it benefits from all day sunshine and has stunning views of the village and rolling hills. There is space for parking at the front of the property.

Internally, the accommodation is spacious and in good order with ample storage throughout. There are 3 double bedrooms, each with built in storage, a bathroom, kitchen and living room with multi fuel stove. There is an oil-fired central heating system with a new boiler installed end of 2023. The property has been decorated to an extremely high standard using a mix of neutral & modern décor, offering any potential purchaser the ability to place their own stamp on the property. There is potential to upgrade the bathroom and kitchen in the property however, as they stand, they are in good condition and a reasonably neutral colour pallet avoiding aging. The bathroom benefitted from a new shower unit in 2022.

LOCATION
The property is situated in an advantageous, elevated position, away from the main A7 road through Stow. The area has become increasingly popular recently, following the drive to escape the City. Stow is popular at present with its railway station, health centre, shop, café, new state-of-the-art primary school and further amenities.

Stow, being a small village with a population of 720, is situated 7 miles north of Galashiels and has benefitted greatly from the reinstatement of the Borders Trainline to Edinburgh Waverly.

The station is only a short 10 minute walk just 650 metres from the property and has half hourly services at peak time and hourly services through the remainder of the day with the first service leaving Edinburgh at 06.21 arriving at stow at 07.06 and the last weekday service leaving Edinburgh at 23.54 and arriving at stow at 00.40.

The town of Galashiels undoubtedly offers a more extensive range of amenities, with an excellent variety of shops, supermarkets, pre-school, primary and secondary schooling, and superb sporting, leisure and recreational facilities. The Heriot-Watt Scottish Borders Campus has a thriving student community, and there is a good selection of restaurants and bars in the town and surrounding area.

COMMENTARY
22 Lauder Road offers the complete package with generously proportioned rooms, ample storage space, vast garden space - perfect for children and pets and on street parking. It is presented in a contemporary order and sits in a position with a relatively private feel due to its set back and secluded location. The property will appeal to buy to let investors, families, professional couples and those looking to get away from the city. There is also scope for AirBnB and holiday let.

The property benefits from double glazing throughout. The living room also has a working dual fuelled fire, ideal for creating a cosy feel in the evening. The kitchen has space for a dining table and usual unit fittings as well as integrated fridge freezer, washing machine and dish washer. The garden is split level with the highest point of the garden giving the most stunning views over the valley with the rolling hills as a backdrop. There is also a dog kennel on this tier which could be kept as is or could be used as a great space to have a summer house benefitting from the summer sun through the day and the stunning sunsets over the hills across the valley. The flexibility of the gardens layout gives the potential buyer scope to create a haven in their back garden extending their home outside with eating areas for alfresco dining, seating areas to enjoy the evening sunshine and flower beds /planter for the keen gardeners to take advantage of. There is also a fantastic space in the front garden which is lucky to have all day sunshine in the height of summer with space for 2 cars to park on the street in front of the house.
