The Beeches, Tweedbank, Galashiels, TD1

32 The Beeches is an immaculately presented and deceptively spacious four/five-bedroom detached house located in a popular residential development in Tweedbank, which lies halfway between the Borders towns of Melrose and Galashiels.
With interior modifications and recently upgraded bathrooms and interior doors, along with planning permission to extend the existing accommodation, the property is only a short distance from the Borders Railway, which runs from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, which is a particular feature of this desirable location.
Internally, the house lies across two levels and comprises four main bedrooms, two ensuite shower rooms, a family bathroom, a study/bedroom five, a sitting room with family area, a dining kitchen, a utility room and a downstairs wc. With flexible layout, allowing space to work from home, there is good storage throughout with gas fired central heating and double glazing.
Externally, the property has private driveway parking for two cars and an attached garage, with garden ground to the front. To the rear lies an enclosed garden with an attractive backdrop of trees that is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area and large garden shed.
