We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Description 12A Young Street, Peebles, EH45 8JX Charming Double Upper Flat in the Heart of Peebles Situated within easy walking distance of Peebles town centre, this attractive double upper flat offers well-presented accommodation over two levels and represents an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, investors, or those seeking a convenient town-centre base.
Forming part of a characterful converted former public house dating from around 1880, the property occupies the first and attic floors of a traditional stone-built building comprising just four residential flats.
Accessed via a private external staircase to the rear, the accommodation is bright and well laid out throughout.
The first floor features an open-plan living room and kitchen, creating a welcoming and sociable living space.
Off the main living area is a versatile additional room, ideal as a home office, study, occasional bedroom, or guest room.
On the upper level, the attic floor provides a spacious principal bedroom, a small landing area, and a generously sized bathroom fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, and wash hand basin.
The property benefits from mains gas, electricity, and gas central heating, and a wood burner in the living room.
Externally, there is a useful private store cupboard located beneath the access staircase, together with a shared timber outbuilding to the rear, which includes a dedicated storage section for the property.
The outbuilding has water and power and would be perfect storage for bikes, as well as charging for an ebike.
Young Street enjoys a highly convenient location close to the centre of Peebles, placing an excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities, schools, and transport links all within easy reach.
Peebles is one of the Scottish Borders' most sought-after towns, renowned for its vibrant community, picturesque surroundings, and extensive outdoor recreational opportunities including walking, cycling, golf, fishing, and world-class mountain biking at nearby Glentress.
