The Firs
With an elevated position providing open outlooks, The Firs is a striking Victorian semi detached home; with traditional bay windows and beautifully retained detailing and features synonymous with the period throughout. The frontage is framed by a traditional garden, with off street parking to the side, and accessing the main section of lawn to the side and rear gardens. The welcoming entrance, with original tiled vestibule and generous reception hall, opens to a choice of public rooms including a front lounge with the stunning bay window and feature fireplace, with two further reception rooms across the hall providing flexibility of use - whether as separate dining or work space or indeed a ground floor bedroom or playroom. The family kitchen is set quietly to the rear with a traditional pantry cupboard, and a rear hall extends to a useful cloakroom with W/C and an external door directly to the garden. Upstairs, a grand solid wood stair extends to the first floor landing, with four bedrooms leading off, including a master bedroom with feature fireplace and neighbouring dressing room, with the family bathroom set across the landing.

Location
The ever popular Melrose – voted the best town to live in Scotland, it’s the undoubted reigning champion across the region in the popularity stakes and a firm favourite for families, retirees and tourists alike. The pull of the quaint and picturesque town lies in its beautifully kept and vibrant high street; packed with independent traders and artisan shops, Melrose retains a traditional market town feel with plenty to do - while still extremely well connected for modern requirement. The area is surrounded by historical landmarks; with Border heavy weights such Sir Walter Scott’s residence and the St Mary’s Abbey just a short walk, with the backdrop of the Eildon hills on one side, and the River Tweed to the other, making it quite the idyllic spot. In addition to stunning local scenery, the well-connected town takes advantage of major road and rail links; sitting just off the A68 and A7 with connections to the recently opened Borders Railway at Tweedbank and Galashiels, as well as a local bus service. Edinburgh is within striking distance, just a swift 40 minute drive for the commuter, with the railway opening up the region for both work and leisure. Local schooling is available from nursery through to primary, with private schooling at the highly regarded St Mary’s. Melrose is also within the catchment for Earlston High School – a well-considered and popular secondary, achieving excellent academic results with great extracurricular opportunities. There is no shortage of sporting amenities from golf to tennis, football to rugby, and the town is proudly home to the world famous Melrose Sevens.
