A surprising spacious semi-detached bungalow set in a popular area in Duns, ideal for families or those looking to be on the one level for accessibility. This family home benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, neatly fitted kitchen, utility store and ample storage cupboards throughout. Although, the property already has 3 double bedrooms many of similar properties nearby have extended so there is plenty of potential to add extra living space (subject to relevant permissions). The property is offered in modern decorative order with pastel tones and feature wall wallpaper. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space this bungalow has to offer.
