Priors Walk, Melrose, Roxburghshire, TD6

Melrose is one of the most sought-after towns in the Scottish Borders, known for its historic charm, vibrant community, and excellent quality of life. It offers a wide range of facilities including independent shops, cafés, restaurants, a health centre, and reputable schools. The town is also home to Melrose Abbey and the renowned Borders General Hospital, both within close proximity. Nearby towns such as Galashiels, St Boswells, and Earlston are easily accessible by car or public transport, offering additional amenities, schooling options, and retail parks. For commuters, Melrose benefits from excellent transport links. The Borders Railway, with its nearest station in Tweedbank just under 3 miles away, provides regular and direct services to Edinburgh Waverley in under an hour. The A68 and A7 trunk roads are also easily reached, connecting to Edinburgh, Carlisle, and beyond, making the property ideal for those seeking rural living without compromising on connectivity. The location lends itself perfectly to a variety of buyers, from families to professionals seeking space to work from home while enjoying a scenic, well-connected lifestyle.


Internally, the property offers significant flexibility, with multiple reception spaces ideal for modern family life or those working remotely. The entrance hall is bright and welcoming, providing access to both the main living spaces and an under-stair storage cupboard. The living room is bright and stylish, boasting wooden flooring, a log burning stove-a valuable feature during winter months-and a large window framing stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The current layout includes a spacious dining room, which could alternatively function as a second lounge, playroom or home office, offering versatility to suit varying family needs. Double doors lead from this room into the light-filled conservatory, which is currently used as a snug and connects directly through patio doors to the rear garden. With its calming garden views and built-in storage, this space could also serve well as a dining area, freeing up the dining room for alternative use. The kitchen is well laid out with ample storage and workspace, bright décor, and a handy breakfast bar. It has designated spaces for white goods, tiled flooring, and modern lighting. Off the conservatory lies a convenient downstairs W/C, completing the functionality of the ground floor. The principal bedroom sits at the rear of the house and features an en-suite shower room, garden views, and excellent natural light. Upstairs, there are three of the four bedrooms which all benefit from built-in storage, and one includes a vanity unit with a sink, an unusual but potentially useful feature if adapting the property for a house of multiple occupancy or a home-based business renting out rooms to Air BNB or other short term let companies. The family bathroom and two good sized hallway cupboards on the landing further enhance the practicality of the upper floor.

Externally, the rear garden is generously proportioned with a combination of lawn, decking, and patio space, while the front garden has been attractively landscaped with planters, rockery and seating to maximise its elevated position and picturesque views. The property sits towards the upper end of Priorswalk, a residential street within a desirable and peaceful part of Melrose. Its elevated position provides fantastic views over the Valley and beyond, while also offering easy access to footpaths that lead directly into the heart of Melrose town centre. The rear gate of the property opens to a path that descends into the town, allowing for a scenic and convenient walk to local amenities.
