Detached house for sale in Hawick TD9, 3 Bedroom

Auld School is set at the top of a little lane off Chesters Brae, enjoying excellent privacy. It has a lovely enclosed garden to the side, which may be suitable as a building plot, and is fronted by a large area giving ample parking for a number of vehicles. Converted from a school by the current owner, the house has much character, but does however require some finishing work and general cosmetic improvement; making it an ideal prospect for those seeking a bit of a project. The windows are double glazed and heating is from the stove in the living room. The living space is open plan, all bedrooms are doubles and there is a bathroom. A largely undeveloped space running along the rear could be used as a study, or as a store room. This property offers masses of scope and could make for a lovely country home.

Location
