The property

This spacious and bright townhouse is positioned just off the main square in the popular village of Earlston - an ideal spot for those searching for a blend of country style living with modern requirements; with endless walks and country pursuits on your doorstep, while still benefitting from excellent transport links provided by the A68, with a nearby railway station for the Borders line in Tweedbank and further road and bus connections close to hand. Huntspool offers a great opportunity to purchase a generously proportioned family home in the central borders. The property allows flexible living space, with accommodation presented over three floors, and while it has been modernised by the current owners, the property retains a great deal of charm and character. This continues outside, where the landscaped garden opens from the split stair off the hall, to a cleverly levelled lawn with colourful borders and entertaining areas.
