This elegant townhouse situated in the heart of Melrose is ideally located for those wishing to explore the borders of Scotland. Perfect for groups of friends, families and three dogs, the outdoor enthusiasts among you can enjoy walking and biking within the Eildon Hills, Southern Upland Way and nearby Glentress Forest, whilst the urbanites will love exploring the bustling town centre with its excellent range of boutique shops, quality eateries, friendly inns and art galleries.

Almost a house of two halves, the reception rooms in this stylish home showcase antique furniture and wonderful period features such as ornate fireplaces and intricate cornicing, whilst upstairs the bedrooms are simple and contemporary. Characterful and beautifully renovated with some unusual but stylish features, the house is both welcoming and extremely comfortable.

Step inside the grand entrance hall to store all your outdoor clothing and head up the beautiful period staircase. Cook up a storm in the stylish kitchen, before gathering around the large table in the striking dining room. Afterwards, challenge your guests to a game of pool, then retire to the comfortable lounge where colourful artwork punctuates cream walls. Light and bright during the day, this room is cosy once the evening draws in and the wood burner is lit.

Simple and bright, a minimalist feel has been created in the five, individually decorated bedrooms, with bright feature walls and colourful linens making a welcome retreat at the end of your day. A lovely twin bedroom and stylish bathroom with a gorgeous roll-top bath are on the first floor, whilst a further four bedrooms are on the second floor. With careful consideration given to the needs of large parties, the three en-suite shower rooms make life easy for mixed-age family groups.

Outside, the fully enclosed patio area with hot tub is the perfect place to enjoy a midday al fresco lunch or an evening of stargazing with a nice glass of wine, good local beer or a wee dram. Take a morning stroll around the pretty streets with a coffee in hand and your pup at your heels and watch the bustling shops come to life. There is parking for one car in the garage, roadside parking subject to availability and multiple car parks within a short walk from the property.
