10 Murison Hill, Selkirk

Forming part of a highly sought after and rarely available small cul-de-sac of just 14 houses, which lies on the fringes of town at the end of the Ettrick Valley, a position which gives absolutely stunning open views, 10 Murison Hill is a very smartly presented and comfortably sized detached 3 or 4 bedroomed property, providing ideal family accommodation with a versatile layout. The sunny south facing garden enjoys a very good level of privacy and is of a size to be easily kept but very useable, with a spacious patio ideal for summer living and dining and a canopy offering shade when needed.

The spacious open plan sitting room/dining room opens to a delightful sun room, altered from a conservatory by the addition of a roof and radiator, to create a lovely every day and all year-round living space. Featuring a bespoke island/breakfast bar the kitchen has excellent storage and includes integrated appliances. Located downstairs, with a WC to hand, the fourth bedroom is used now as a home office but could be ideal as a guest room or for those who find stairs challenging. Upstairs are the three further bedrooms, one of which has a stylish en-suite shower room, as well as the unusually spacious bathroom which takes full advantage of the views and includes a large cupboard.

Although the location and views provide a setting which gives the feel of being in the countryside, the town centre is readily accessible, as are both the rugby and cricket clubs. Selkirk itself is well placed for travel to many of the region's major towns and is well served by public transport, with the railway station at Tweedbank, which offers free parking and brings Edinburgh city centre into a one hour journey, just a short ten minute drive away.

The accommodation comprises: vestibule, hall, open plan sitting/dining room, sunroom, kitchen, 4 bedrooms (one en-suite), bathroom, WC. A floored attic accessed from bedroom two offers very useful storage. Gas central heating. Double glazing.

Externally, there is garden ground with grass and ornamental planting to the front. A paved drive leads to the single garage, which has an up and over door to the front and a door leading out to the rear garden. The south facing rear garden is screened by beech hedging, with a secret gate giving access out onto the fields which lie behind the house. The garden includes a large Yorsktone patio, an area of lawn, mature plants and shrubs and two timber sheds.
