2 Bed Detached House For Sale

Lismore is situated in an elevated position on Wylies Brae, a much sought after location on the north side of Galashiels. The house is ideally placed for ease of access to the railway station and town centre amenities.

Galashiels is a popular Borders town within a fairly central location within the region and benefits from a good range of shops and a wide variety of recreational and sporting facilities. There are several primary schools together with a secondary school located in the town. Local medical facilities are also nearby and the surrounding countryside, which is noted for its scenic beauty, offers superb opportunities for horse riding, walking, golfing, cycling and fishing.  Galashiels has excellent road links with Edinburgh and the north of England and there is a regular train service between the town and Edinburgh.

Lismore is an attractive and deceptively spacious former bungalow built in the 1960’s and latterly extended into the roof space and the house is south facing with fine views over Galashiels and beyond to the surrounding countryside. The versatile family sized accommodation briefly comprises of a welcoming entrance hallway, large living room with picture window to the front affording superb views. To the rear there is a breakfasting kitchen which offers ample wall and base units and access to the rear garden, a large double bedroom again peacefully to the rear is complimented by the family bathroom which is located next to it. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a large dining room which would formally have been the second bedroom but now provides access to the large room in the roof space which is flooded with light via the various Velux sky lights present. There is also a useful storage cupboard to the far end of the room in the roof. The current layout could easily be adapted to re instate the second ground floor bedroom if so wished or it can be retained in its current format.

Outside the house are pretty terraced gardens to the front and rear. The garden is well stocked with trees and shrubs and plants. Steps leads from the bottom of the garden to the terrace in front of the house and steps and paths continue around the side of the house to the rear garden which is predominately laid to lawn. There is a single garage and parking at the bottom of the garden path.

Properties with such lovely views are hard to find and early viewing is highly recommended.
