Both carpeted double bedrooms lie to the rear, and offer ample freestanding furniture space. Also to the rear, the extensively-tiled bathroom is fitted with a white, three-piece suite with mixer shower. Features include gas central heating, double glazing, stripped doors, dado rails, and satellite TV and telephone points.There are enclosed private gardens to the front and sides, and ample, unrestricted on-street parking. Lauder is a thriving and historic town in the Scottish Borders, lying around 30 miles south of Edinburgh, placing it within commuting range of the Capital. The town has all the necessary everyday amenities, including post office, banking and supermarket facilities, and lies a short drive from more extensive services offered by the larger Border towns. Edinburgh is easily accessible via the A68 and the recently opened Borders Railway has a stop at Stow, approximately five miles away, offering a journey time of around forty-five minutes.
