The property
Ivy House is a traditional double fronted property which is conveniently located within the popular village of Town Yetholm. Offering surprisingly spacious accommodation throughout including a particularly spacious dining lounge which extends to around 25 foot. Certain aspects would now benefit from some general modernization and cosmetic upgrading, providing the purchaser with the opportunity to upgrade the accommodation to their own tastes. Another rather surprising aspect to the property is the charming walled garden to the rear which enjoys excellent privacy with outlooks towards Staerough Hill and with the benefit of a detached garage at the foot of the garden.
