Property description & features

  • Period Property With Character
  • Semi Rural, Conservation Village Setting
  • Kelso & Main Roads Readily Accessible
  • Ideal Family Home With Great Potential
  • Accommodation Over Three Floors
  • Easily Kept Enclosed Garden
  • Versatile Store Room/Home Office Adjacent
  • Oil Heating & Double Glazing
Parnassus is a most appealing 4 bedroomed stone built semi-detached period property, dating back to the early 1800's. The comfortably sized accommodation lies over three floors and is well suited as a family home, plus there is the unusual benefit of a two floor store room located across the road, which was originally the village library. Used most recently as a gym, this additional space could suit a variety of uses, ideal perhaps for those needing a separate home office or workshop for example. Whilst the house is now at a stage where a degree of cosmetic updating would be beneficial, and some remedial work is required, it has masses of potential and is perfect for any buyer wishing to stamp their own mark onto their new home.

Ideally suited to those seeking a quieter pace of life, the conservation village of Morebattle enjoys a semi rural yet conveniently located position, situated only a fifteen minute drive from both Kelso and Jedburgh, with Melrose and Tweedbank Railway Station, which provides free parking and brings Edinburgh Waverley Station into a one hour journey, both within a half hour drive. For those who need easy access North or South bound the A68 main road link is readily accessible providing excellent access to Edinburgh and Newcastle.

Internally the accommodation comprises:- four bedrooms (two at first floor and two at top floor, all doubles with good storage) and a sitting room off which is a versatile area/ante room linking through to the dining kitchen. There is a shower room on the first floor plus a handy 'garden loo' in a covered area just outside, reached via a glass door off the sitting room.

Externally there are easily kept rockery gardens to the front, stocked with a good selection of flowering plants. The surprisingly private rear garden is laid in the main to grass and fully enclosed by fencing making it nice and secure for children and/or pets. On street parking. To the side there is an outhouse which houses the boiler and the oil tank. The windows are double glazed and there is oil fired heating.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
