The property
Westbank enjoys a prime location high above the River Tweed with the advantage of some of the best river views. The much sought after location of Chalkheugh Terrace lies in the heart of the town sheltered from the bustle of the town centre and part of the terrace of properties with the benefit of little passing traffic and fantastic terraced gardens set high above the riverside. The property is a traditional sandstone property believed to date from around 1840 with sandstone quoins surrounds and a more recent entrance porch with dwarf walled gardens and extensive terraced gardens on the far side overlooking the river. Internally the accommodation is well proportioned throughout whilst some aspects could now benefit from some general upgrading and modernisation providing the purchaser with the opportunity to upgrade things to their own tastes.
