Upper Norwood, 12 Melrose Road, Galashiels TD1 2AY

Upper Norwood forms the upper levels of a stunning detached red sandstone villa located in a popular elevated part of Galashiels with lovely views and well tended mature gardens.  Boasting a wealth of traditional period features, the property has two spacious bedrooms in addition to a versatile dining room and study.  Must be seen to fully appreciate.

Entering from the rear, steps lead up to a front door and there are two useful outhouses for storage externally. The grand, split level entrance hall has a wooden stair up to the main hallway where the majority of the accommodation is located.  The hallway has two useful storage cupboards and a further staircase leads up to the extremely spacious floored attic which has power and light and currently houses the washing machine/laundry.  The lounge is a delightfully bright and welcoming double aspect room with large period windows offering stunning views over the front garden and to the side.  There is traditional cornicing to ceiling in here and a pleasing timber fire surround with open coal fire making a homely focal point.  In addition to the lounge, there is a separate dining room to the front with ample space for a large table and chairs which could be used for a variety of purposes. The kitchen, which offers more casual dining facilities, has a range of timber floor and wall mounted units with built in breakfast bar area.  There is an integrated oven with gas hob and space for an under counter dishwasher (at present the fridge freezer is housed in a hallway cupboard) There is also single bowl sink with window above.

There are two generous double bedrooms within the villa.  The master is a light double aspect room with windows to the front and side.  A door leads through from here to the dressing room/study which can also be entered from the hallway and would make an ideal home office.  Bedroom 2 is also a generously sized bedroom with carpet flooring.  Completing the accommodation is the four piece family bathroom which comprises shower enclosure with mixer shower within, free standing roll top bath, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally to the property, there are generous garden grounds which are both well tended and established with a good stock of mature trees, shrubs and perennials.  There is an immaculate area of lawn to the front and a patio for alfresco dining.  To the rear is a shared drying green and a timber garage which is accessed via a shared drive between the upper and lower villas (12 and 14)
