Some homes simply provide somewhere to live. Others tell a story.

Dating back over 140 years, 20A Main Street is a beautifully presented one-bedroom upper period home that effortlessly blends timeless character with modern living in the heart of Gorebridge.

Situated within the Gorebridge Conservation Area, the property forms part of the village's historic streetscape, helping to preserve the character and heritage that make this home so unique.

Original stone walls, impressive ceiling heights and traditional sash and case windows celebrate its rich history, while thoughtful modernisation ensures it's perfectly suited to today's lifestyle.

At the heart of the home is a wonderfully bright open-plan living space. Flooded with natural light from the large sash and case windows, it immediately creates a feeling of space, warmth and character. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, the contemporary kitchen sits comfortably at one end of the room, offering generous storage and worktop space while remaining connected to the living area, perfect for both everyday life and entertaining.

The generous double bedroom continues the home's period charm, with impressive ceiling heights, a peaceful leafy outlook to the rear and excellent built-in storage, creating a calm and relaxing sanctuary at the end of the day.

Completing the accommodation is a bright, contemporary bathroom featuring a full size bath with a shower over, carefully designed to complement the character of the property while providing all the comforts and practicality of modern living.
