Glebe Knowe is a detached 2 bedroomed stone built period villa set within a well established residential area. The property has much character and enormous potential but is in need of fairly major updating and improvement, reflected within the asking price, offering a project which would be ideally suited to the developer. The sitting room is amply large enough to accommodate a dining table, as is the kitchen, thereby lending the dining room suitable for use as a third bedroom if required. Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles enjoying fine open views and the bathroom is a good size.

Positioned around six miles from Railway stations in either Galashiels or Tweedbank, both providing a regular train service to Edinburgh with free parking at Tweedbank, Selkirk enjoys excellent access to Edinburgh and other Border towns via the A7 and is well served by public transport, with the bus terminus just across the road. The ruby ground and cricket club are nearby, whilst the town centre is in easy reach.

The accommodation comprises: vestibule, hall, sitting room with fireplace, dining room/bedroom 3, breakfasting kitchen including walk in cupboard, 2 double bedrooms and bathroom. Some storage radiators and partial double glazing.

Externally, the sloping garden lies to the front and is laid to grass. To the rear a gate leads out to Glebe Terrace and there are two outhouses, one to either side of the kitchen doors. Unrestricted on street parking on Mill Street.

Edinburgh 42.5 miles. Tweedbank 6.5 miles. Melrose 8 miles. Hawick 11.5 miles. Galashiels 6 miles.
