Murison Hill, Selkirk, TD7

** CLOSING DATE FOR OFFERS TUESDAY 11th JULY AT 12 NOON**9 Murison Hill enjoys an excellent position within a small desirable cul-de-sac on the fringes of the popular Borders town of Selkirk. This extremely appealing three-bedroom detached bungalow offers comfortably proportioned and well-presented accommodation. The property has been designed to create a lovely flow, with the sitting room leading through to the spacious dining kitchen, which in turn opens out to the beautiful garden via patio doors. The integral garage, off the kitchen, includes space for washing machine and tumble drier. Two of the bedrooms are comfortable doubles, whilst the third has been kitted out as a functional and well-planned office, ideal for those who work from home but equally suitable as a single bedroom, perfect for children or occasional guests.

The location of the house, coupled with the wonderful open views, provide a quiet tranquil setting and a sense of being in the countryside, yet the town centre is readily accessible, as are both the rugby and cricket clubs. Selkirk itself is well placed for travel to many of the region�s major towns via the A7, and lies just a short drive from the railway station at Tweedbank, which offers free parking and brings Edinburgh city centre into a one hour journey.

Lying across one level, the accommodation comprises a vestibule, a hallway, a sitting room, a dining kitchen, three bedrooms, and a bathroom. There is good storage, with a partly floored attic, plus gas central heating and double glazing.

Externally, the garden is a particular feature and is a truly delightful and peaceful haven. Laid to grass to the front, with a private driveway to the front of the garage, there are paths and gates to each side closing off the rear garden, which enjoys a surprising level of privacy and sunshine. A large patio provides a great space for informal entertaining, and the surrounding garden areas have been stocked with a lovely selection of mature, easily kept shrubs and plants. The drying area is screened by trellis covered in ivy and there is a useful timber shed.
