Description
Situated in an established modern development in Innerleithen, with lovely views of the forest and the hills, this detached bungalow offers convenient single-storey accommodation, including two bedrooms, three reception areas, a breakfasting kitchen, and a shower room, and it is accompanied by lovely gardens and a private driveway. The home is ideally proportioned for first-time buyers, small families, couples, professionals, downsizers, and rental investors.
The front door opens into a welcoming hallway with built-in storage, setting the tone for the interiors to follow with neutral décor and a comfortable carpet. On your left is a living room, with a spacious footprint for furniture, soft grey décor, classic coving, and a carpet for optimum comfort underfoot. A large southeast-facing window floods the space with sunny natural light throughout the day and frames wonderful open views of the adjacent hills and woodland. In the neighbouring breakfasting kitchen, space is provided for a small table and chairs – ideal for morning coffee – and cream-coloured wall and base cabinets are framed by ample worktops and splashback tiling. An oven, hob, and extractor fan are integrated, whilst an undercounter washing machine is included. The kitchen benefits from handy garden access. A dining room across the hall presents various options for use, including a children’s play room, a home office, or a third bedroom, if desired, and it is adjoined by a conservatory with a door out to the garden.
The bungalow’s two double bedrooms are well-proportioned and both benefit from built-in storage. The larger of the two enjoys the same sunny aspect and scenic outlook as the living room. Finally, a stylish, contemporary shower room completes the accommodation on offer, comprising a walk-in enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a WC-suite set into a vanity unit, with display/storage shelving, and a tall chrome towel radiator. The home is kept warm by a gas central heating system (with a new boiler fitted in March 2022) and benefits from double-glazed windows.
Externally, the bungalow is flanked by well-maintained gardens to the front and rear. The front garden features neat lawns, whilst the rear is predominantly lawned, with a mono-block patio for outdoor dining furniture and barbecues. Off-street parking is provided by a private driveway.
The sale of this property is not subject to an onward chain.
Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings, light fittings, integrated kitchen appliances, and washing machine will be included in the sale. The dining room table and chairs and two single beds are available by separate negotiation.
Note: There is currently planning permission in place for a rear and side extension. Details of the permission can be found on the Scottish Borders Council planning portal using the reference: 23/00087/FUL.
