13 Mathieson Street, Innerleithen, EH44 6LP

A charming three-bedroom mid-terraced house, featuring private gardens, peacefully nestled in a sought-after and well-established residential area in the picturesque Borders town of Innerleithen. Dating back to the 1950s and occupied by the same family since new, this charming property offers 925 square feet of accommodation arranged over two levels, and presents the new owner with an exciting opportunity to modernise, redesign, and create an interior to their own taste.  Ideally situated just a short walk from the vibrant high street, with its excellent selection of shops, bars, and eateries, this property also benefits from nearby nursery and primary schools, as well as direct access to the breathtaking Tweed Valley countryside and cycle trails. Early viewing is highly recommended.

With a welcoming approach through the front garden, the accommodation begins with an inviting inner hallway featuring a staircase leading to the upper floor which incorporates generous storage space beneath.  The sitting room features dual-aspect windows to the front and rear, flooding the space with natural light and creating a relaxed, homely ambiance, while offering ample room for both lounge and dining areas.  Accessible from the sitting room, the kitchen is fitted with a range of units, complemented by contrasting worktops and a tiled splashback. Integrated appliances include an eye-level electric oven, gas hob, and extractor hood, while there is also space and connections for a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge, all of which are currently in situ.  A rear-facing window provides views over the private garden and the hills beyond, while an external door allows convenient access to the outdoor space.  On the first floor, a bright and spacious landing features a ceiling hatch leading to a generous loft, providing practical storage.  The property offers three comfortable double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted storage, two at the front and one at the rear, enjoying views of the hills beyond.  Completing the accommodation is the family shower room, fitted with a WC, wash hand basin, and shower enclosure, with a rear-facing opaque window that fills the space with natural light.

Externally, there are private garden grounds to the front and rear of the property.  The front garden is mainly laid  to decorative chippings and an array of mature plantings.  One paved pathway leads to the property, whilst another to the side gives shared access to the rear.  With great views over the Pirn Craig hills, the rear garden enjoys areas of lawn bordered by timber fencing and mature green hedging, whilst a large paved patio area offers the ideal spot for outdoor furniture during the warmer summer days. Ample parking is available to the side of the terrace, and on surrounding streets.
