3 bed first floor flat for sale in Peebles

Steeped in history and occupying a prime position in the heart of Peebles' High Street, this exceptional period apartment offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of remarkable character and heritage. Forming part of an impressive Category B Listed building dating from around 1860, the property combines generous proportions, period charm and an enviable town centre setting, all within easy walking distance of Peebles' excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and local amenities. Historically known as Bank House, the building has a fascinating connection to the renowned Scottish author John Buchan. Although Buchan himself did not live here, his brother Walter and sister Anna resided in the property during the early part of the 20th century, before the original frontage was altered. In 1975, part of the building was demolished to facilitate the widening of Cuddy Bridge, with its famous red door carefully preserved and incorporated into the reconstructed façade around the corner. The family's connection to the building is commemorated with plaques, adding a unique sense of heritage to an already distinctive home. Complementing its rich history is a generous private rear garden-an exceptionally rare feature for a town centre property-providing a wonderful outdoor retreat with excellent potential for landscaping, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Blending historic significance with spacious accommodation and an outstanding central location, this is a truly unique home that offers a lifestyle as special as its story.
