A delightful one-bedroom, main-door, first-floor flat set within an attractive traditional stone-built terrace, occupying a charming position on one of the historic streets in the picturesque Borders town of Peebles.

Early viewing is highly recommended.

Leading directly from the sitting room, the kitchen is well-appointed with a range of wall and base units paired with contrasting worktops and a stainless-steel sink. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, electric oven, and fridge, with plumbing and space available for a washing machine. A rear-facing window enhances the space with natural light and attractive riverside views. To the front of the property, a generously sized double bedroom overlooks Biggiesknowe through a large window and benefits from built-in wardrobes along with plenty of room for additional furnishings. The accommodation is completed by a shower room fitted with a WC, wash hand basin, and shower enclosure, with a front-facing opaque window allowing in natural light.

Externally, the property benefits from a private, courtyard-style garden located to the front, neatly positioned beneath the external stone stairwell.
