Newtown St Boswells, Melrose, TD6

DETAILS
The Old Bakery offers a rare layout that sets it apart from more traditional homes, with characterful touches throughout including exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and bespoke room arrangements. The heart of the home is the bright and open-plan kitchen/dining area, featuring ample wall and base units, a breakfast bar, and room for a family-sized dining table—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A utility room with W/C and generous built-in storage further enhance the practical features of the ground floor.

Above the kitchen level, the standout living room benefits from elevated positioning, offering a warm and airy atmosphere thanks to its vaulted ceiling, five windows, and central skylight. The exposed banister and beams add architectural interest and a sense of spaciousness that is rarely found. Accessed via the mid-split level are two bedrooms and a large family bathroom. One bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and direct access to the rear garden, which is laid out across multiple levels with a patio, chip stone area, decking, and lawn with mature shrubs at the end of the garden.

The principal bedroom is both spacious and full of charm, with a raised sleeping area and a skylight overhead that fills the room with natural light. Thoughtful features such as dual-access to both a built-in wardrobe and a private ensuite further elevate the space. Upstairs, a third generous room currently serves as a second reception or optional third bedroom, featuring large windows, a charming fireplace, and exposed banisters in keeping with the rest of the property.

This versatile and thoughtfully arranged home will appeal to a broad range of buyers. Whether you’re a professional couple seeking work-from-home options, a growing family in need of flexible accommodation, or a buy-to-let investor seeking something with standout appeal, The Old Bakery presents an opportunity not to be missed. Its central location, generous floor area, character features, and modern comforts combine to create a truly unique home in a sought-after Borders village.
