Dovecot Park, Selkirk, TD7

Commentary
This beautifully presented upper maisonette has a distinct cottage appeal from the outside, with steps leading to an inviting double-door entrance that enhances both privacy and security. Beyond this is a bright vestibule area, complete with a glass-panelled internal door that allows natural light to pour through into the hallway, creating a warm and welcoming first impression.

The main living area is open-plan and exceptionally bright, with two large windows to the front and rear and a fresh, neutral décor throughout. A substantial log burning stove adds character and comfort to the living space, while wooden flooring gives the room a warm and homely finish. The kitchen area is functional and full of charm, featuring base units, open shelving, a traditional pulley drying rack, integrated cooker with gas hob, and space for both a washing machine and a small dining table. Access to the garden is via stairs from a door off the kitchen. The garden itself is a hidden gem — a fully enclosed suntrap laid mainly to lawn, with a slabbed path leading to a stone seating area and a small pergola with planters. It is completely private thanks to high fencing. The property also includes a rear store ideal for outdoor equipment or bikes. This external space offers huge appeal for anyone seeking their own peaceful outdoor haven.

Inside, the bedrooms are fairly proportioned and flooded with natural light. Two are large doubles, with the principal bedroom featuring dual-aspect windows, a decorative fireplace, and built-in storage. The third bedroom is a good-sized single, currently used as a flexible space that would work well as a guest room, nursery, or home office. The sleek and contemporary bathroom to the rear of the property is fitted with a white suite and bright, modern décor. The property throughout has a fresh, well-maintained feel and offers a practical, flowing layout suited to a wide range of buyers.
