6 bed detached house for sale

Chapel Mains, Galashiels TD1

A commanding detached house set within approx. One acre of established grounds, Chapel Grange is an exceptional detached family home enjoying a peaceful semi-rural setting with views across the surrounding Borders countryside. Constructed around thirteen years ago to an exacting standard, the property has been enhanced by the current owner and offers an impressive combination of generous proportions, flexible accommodation and modern family living. Extending over two floors, the bright, well-presented accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide excellent versatility, making it ideally suited to growing families, multi-generational living or those seeking dedicated guest accommodation. The house offers six well-proportioned bedrooms, including an en-suite principal bedroom, together with a family bathroom and an additional shower room. At the heart of the home lies a superb dining kitchen, complemented by an elegant sitting room with wood burning stove, a comfortable family room and a practical utility room. Excellent storage is found throughout, whilst oil-fired central heating and double glazing ensure the property is both comfortable and energy efficient. The flexibility of the layout lends itself to the creation of self-contained annexe accommodation if required, and whilst lapsed planning permission within the grounds previously allowed for the construction of an additional dwelling, presenting an opportunity for future purchasers, subject to the necessary consents.
