Wellwood is a striking, beautifully presented, four-bedroom Victorian villa set in the heart of Galashiels. The property has been carefully restored, rewired and renovated by the current owners with careful preservation of the ornate period features throughout to create a wonderful family home.
The property opens from a wide hallway into a stunning open plan kitchen/living/dining space spanning the full depth of the property, complete with Belfast sink, wooden worktops, woodburning stove and large utility room. The living boasts a deep bay window, parquet flooring and woodburning stove. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a separate spacious sitting room with stained glass window, downstairs WC and a generous family room which could equally make a comfortable four bedroom.
A turned pitch-pine staircase leads to the first floor where there are three generous double bedrooms, two of which face to the front of the property and one to the rear – each has ample space for bedroom furniture. A large family bathroom services these rooms with tiled walk-in shower and roll top bathtub. There is a good sized second bathroom space also on the first floor, the current owners have had the shower disconnected, the room could easily become a home-office or renovated to add a second bathroom.
The current owner’s sensitive renovation of the property presents an incoming purchaser with a chance to obtain a stunning family home in an excellent location close to the local amenities of Galashiels, excellent local schooling options and easy connection to the Borders railway line.
Externally the property benefits from off-street driveway parking, two areas of lawn, a large outbuilding and charming greenhouse.
