Belmont, Monksford Road, Newtown St. Boswells

Belmont, Monksford Road, Newtown St. Boswells
Belmont is a well-proportioned three-bedroom detached bungalow which requires a fair degree of modernisation but offers someone
great potential to turn the property into a lovely home. Lying on the Northern fringes of the Borders town of Newtown St. Boswells,
the property occupies a large plot and could also be extended upwards or outwards, subject to the necessary permissions.
Lying across one level the existing accommodation comprises three bedrooms, a bathroom, a sitting room, and a breakfasting
kitchen. There is also a sizeable attic which offers excellent storage or extension possibilities.
Sitting in a large plot which is South facing, the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a variety of mature and semi mature hedges
and shrubs, and is a particular feature of this property. There is also plentiful private driveway parking as well as to the rear of the
property.
Most Border towns are readily accessible from Newtown St. Boswells, with the A68 only a matter of minutes away. The new Borders
Railway, running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, has recently opened and lies approximately five miles away and adds to the
accessibility of the area.
St. Boswells 1.5 miles. Edinburgh 38 miles. Melrose 4 miles. Tweedbank 5 miles.

Location:
Belmont is situated on the Northern fringes of the Borders town of Newtown St. Boswells, home of the region’s largest employer, the Scottish Borders
Council, which is only a short distance away. Lying just off the A68 which provides easy access to Edinburgh and Newcastle, there are a good range of
local amenities in the town including a bank, a health centre, a hotel, and a small supermarket. The nearby Milestone Garden Centre sits on the outskirts
and is a very popular attraction. The desirable village of St. Boswells, around one and a half miles away, offers a wider range of amenities including
the famous Buccleuch Arms Hotel with Blue Coo Bistrot, a Co-op supermarket, an award winning bookshop, a garage, local cricket, tennis, golf and
rugby clubs and a variety of small shops. The primary school catchment is Newtown St. Boswells and the secondary school catchment is Earlston High
School, with nearby Melrose offering a wider range of amenities as well as the well respected St Mary’s Preparatory School. The area is one of great
scenic beauty with the River Tweed snaking its way through the Borders countryside with its pretty towns and villages. Fishing, golf, shooting, horse
riding and walking are all readily available. Kelso (12 miles away) is a thriving market town including a racecourse, the historic Floors Castle, home
of the Duke of Roxburghe, and a championship golf course. Alternatively, Galashiels has a large selection of High Street names such as Tesco, ASDA,
Next and Marks & Spencer, whilst Kelso now benefits from a Sainsburys supermarket.
Newtown St. Boswells sits off the A68 which is the main route between Edinburgh to the North and Newcastle to the South, with International airports
located in these cities. Berwick-upon-Tweed, reachable in under one hour has a mainline railway serving the East Coast, and a fast train to London
taking around four hours. The new Borders Railway, running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, which has recently opened lies approximately five miles
away and adds to the accessibility of the area.
