Neutral interiors with period charm
Living/dining room with focal-point fireplace
Fitted kitchen with south-facing aspect
Private front garden with leafy plants
This two-bedroom ground-floor flat is brought to market in excellent decorative order, enjoying bright and spacious interiors finished in neutral tones. The lovely home forms part of a traditional, c-listed building (dated 1886), which has a beautiful façade and a convenient location in the heart of the Peebles conservation area. It offers period charm and modern styling, and comes with private and communal gardens.
A shared entrance leads to the flat’s front door which opens with a warm welcome into a central hall leading to all accommodation. The living/dining room is to the right, bathed in neutral décor and the rich tones of the varnished wooden floorboards and picture rail. It is an instantly inviting aesthetic, which is further elevated by a handsome fireplace that forms the focal point for comfy lounge furniture. Twin windows bring lots of light into the space, whilst a press cupboard provides handy storage. In the kitchen, there are base and wall cabinets alongside stone-effect worktops, backed by colourful splashback tiles. It has a south-facing aspect and light décor, ensuring a bright and cheerful cooking environment. An oven, gas hob, and extractor hood come integrated, with a freestanding fridge/freezer, and a washing machine also included. Meanwhile, the two bedrooms are both spacious doubles finished in neutral tones to enhance an airy ambience. The principal bedroom further benefits from a press cupboard, a south-facing aspect, and a fitted carpet for underfoot comfort. The second bedroom, on the other hand, has varnished wooden floorboards, adding a warm glow to the decoration. Finally, the three-piece bathroom features an overhead shower and a pleasing combination of tongue-and-groove panelling, white décor, and easy-to-clean wet walling. The property has gas central heating and traditional sash and case windows with secondary glazing (except the bathroom).
Outside, the home has a private front garden with leafy plants and it also has a substantial communal garden, which features sweeping lawns, a drying area, and patios for summer dining. In addition, it benefits from a refurbished (private) external store for housing items such as bikes, golf equipment, and garden tools. Unrestricted on-street parking is available in the area as well.
Extras: All fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, integrated kitchen appliances, a freestanding fridge/freezer, and a washing machine to be included in the sale.
