St. Dunstans Park, Melrose, TD6

22 St. Dunstans Park is a deceptively spacious three-bedroom terraced house situated in the heart of the much sought-after Borders town of Melrose. Recently voted 'One of the Best Places to Live in Scotland in 2022' by the Sunday Times.
Needing a degree of upgrading the property sits in an excellent location only a short walk into the centre of town, with the railway station at Tweedbank being only one and a half miles away, and the Borders General Hospital lying on the edge of Melrose. Also located in a much sought after primary and secondary school catchment, the house also benefits from a private back garden, and on-street parking which is readily available. Lying across two levels, the accommodation comprises three bedrooms, a shower room, a sitting room, a breakfasting kitchen and a conservatory. With double glazing there is also good storage throughout, including the attic with loft ladder access.
Externally, there is garden ground to the front overlooking the central square of the development with a charming garden to the rear, with access to a built-in external store and gate leading to a pedestrian path at the back. There is also on-street parking a short distance from the property.
Edinburgh is easily accessible via the A68, with most Borders towns readily available from this central location, as well as via the aforementioned Borders Railway. Given the location, it really is a property that should be viewed to be appreciated.
