4 bed flat for sale

13 Traquair Road, Innerleithen EH44

Nestled in a sought-after location, a charming four-bedroom double upper flat with private garden area centrally positioned just steps away from the vibrant High Street in the scenic Borders town of Innerleithen. Dating back to the late 1800’s, this fantastic property offers beautifully presented, spacious, and versatile accommodation, thoughtfully arranged over two floors totalling an impressive 1227 square feet, seamlessly combining classic charm with modern functionality. Conveniently located within walking distance of shops, bars, restaurants, and schooling, it also provides immediate access to cycle paths, riverside walks, and the scenic Tweed Valley countryside, perfect for outdoor exploring. Early viewing comes highly recommended.

Accessed from Traquair Road via a private ground-floor entrance and staircase, the accommodation opens into a welcoming first-floor hallway landing. Positioned at the front, the elegant sitting room showcases traditional features, including soaring ceilings, and a striking fireplace housing a wood burning stove providing the room with a warming focal point. While compact, the kitchen is cleverly designed to maximize functionality, featuring a good range of base units, complemented by locally sourced Elm worktops and shelves, finished with a tiled splashback. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and a gas hob, with space and provisions for a washing machine, and a fridge freezer. A rear-facing window floods the space with natural light while offering views over the gardens. Located adjacent to the kitchen, the generously proportioned dining room provides an ideal setting for family meals and entertaining guests, a versatile space which could easily be adapted as an additional bedroom, a second sitting room, or to suit requirements. Elsewhere on the first floor is a single bedroom with a front-facing window overlooking Traquair Road, which could also function as a separate home office, or nursery if desired. A graceful spindle staircase leads to a second-floor landing, where a handy storage cupboard adds practical convenience. Each room on this level is bathed in natural light and offers fabulous views. The accommodation comprises two generously sized double bedrooms, one to the front and one to the rear, along with a versatile single bedroom with a Velux window to the front, and again would serve well as a home office, nursery, or guest room. Completing the accommodation, the family bathroom features a window to the rear, framing stunning views over the rooftops and tree-lined hills beyond. It comprises a WC, a vanity unit with wash hand basin, and a relaxing panelled bath with an electric shower above.

Externally, the property benefits from a section of private garden, along with a large shared lawned drying green area. The private garden enjoys a section of lawn with mature shrubbery as well as a raised timber decked area offering the perfect spot for alfresco relaxing during the warmer summer months. A spacious timber garden shed offers excellent storage, complemented by a log store for the wood used in the log-burning stove.
