1 bed townhouse for sale in Duns
This incredibly stylish, recently completed townhouse has been formed from the conversion of a previous shop, to provide what is now a brand new home within a traditional building. The design of the property has been exceptionally well planned with energy efficiency being a core principle of the concept; some of the impressive eco credentials include air source heating, a heat recovery system in the shower room, incredible levels of insulation as well as an electric car charging point and provision for rain water harvesting. With the accommodation currently extending over two floors, there are also excellent opportunities for the purchaser to add value for themselves and future proof the property; the attic floor has been fully developed and is ready for the installation of a staircase to access a second double bedroom should a purchaser wish to. Located in the heart of Duns, all local amenities are readily available and quite unusually for a town centre property, there is private parking to the side of the building and a shared drying area.
