Osborne
Todlaw Road is widely regarded as one of Duns’ most sought-after addresses—a quiet, leafy lane where properties rarely come to market. Enjoying a peaceful setting yet within easy reach of the town centre, play park and local amenities, the property is ideally suited to families and those seeking both convenience and tranquillity. This attractive detached home offers generous proportions and a practical, well-balanced layout characteristic of the era. Occupying a substantial plot, the property is complemented by charming, established gardens which lie predominantly to the front, enjoying a sunny south-facing aspect. Lovingly maintained and well stocked over many years, the gardens present a wonderful opportunity for further landscaping. Internally, the property provides an excellent foundation with significant scope for modernisation and personalisation. The spacious existing layout offers flexibility, with clear potential to reconfigure in line with contemporary open-plan living, if desired. In addition, the extensive attic, already floored, offers exciting possibilities for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. Having been a much-loved home for many years, the interiors now present a true blank canvas, allowing a purchaser to create a bespoke home tailored to their own style—an increasingly rare opportunity in such a desirable location. The ground floor accommodation is both practical and well-proportioned, with two bright reception rooms positioned to either side of the entrance hall. These include a generous dual-aspect sitting room with feature fireplace, and a formal dining room or family room with an attractive bay window. To the rear lies a traditional kitchen, along with a rear hall/utility area with a walk-in pantry and a useful ground floor WC. A turned staircase with large sash window over, leads to the first-floor landing, off which are three well-sized double bedrooms and a fourth single bedroom or home office. These are served by the family bathroom. Access to the impressive attic space is also available from the landing. Externally, the property further benefits from a private gated driveway, a detached single garage, and a useful external store, in addition to the mature gardens and summer house.
