The property
Marchlea House is a superb example of a Georgian townhouse which offers the proportions and all of the grandeur that you would expect from such a property. Positioned in the centre of town with all local amenities literally on the door step, this B Listed property extends over four floors with beautifully presented accommodation showcasing a number of traditional features as well as some well-considered contemporary design elements. The interior has been restored and upgraded by the present owners to an exacting standard, including a complete rebuild of the top level which now houses an impressive master bedroom suite, complete with dressing room and luxurious bathroom. Boasting an interesting history, there are some unique features to Marchlea House, not least the former Schoolhouse which is located within the rear garden - now utilised as a double garage and workshop but with potential for a host of different uses - interestingly the tunnel leading from the High Street directly to the former school house is still in use. The outside space on offer matches that of the interior- sizeable gardens extend to the rear which have been thoughtfully planned and landscaped. The garden room/studio adds another aspect and again could lend itself to various uses. All of this is combined with a driveway and ample private parking as well as outlooks over Home Park at the rear. All in all Marchlea House is likely to appeal to those seeking a sizeable, traditional family home in the town or perhaps those looking for a B&B opportunity with the layout lending itself well.

The top level of accommodation is dedicated entirely to the master bedroom suite; formerly the ‘servants quarters’ this impressive space now boasts a large bedroom with velux windows to the front and rear as well as an original fireplace. The adjoining dressing room has more than enough space for ‘his and hers’ storage whilst the ensuite bathroom offers a real sense of luxury with under floor heating and a free standing bath on a raised plinth. From this level, the front windows allow for rooftop views over the town towards the River Tweed and The Cheviots in the distance.
