Property description
South Cottage is the most unique five-bedroom house situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders, only four and a half miles from the popular town of Melrose. The proximity to the new Borders Railway which will run from Tweedbank to Edinburgh that is due to open in September 2015 is of particular note.
Extended in recent years the property offers flexible and spacious family living with the most amazing views. Benefitting from a large garden there is also a four acre paddock, and additional woodland of around one acre which creates the most desirable package in a semi-rural location.
Internally, the property comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms (two ensuite), a dressing room, a balcony, a sitting room, an open plan kitchen with dining area, a family room, a mud/boot room, a utility room, and two downstairs wcs.
Externally, there are the most fabulous panoramic views to the East and South, plus extensive decking running down one side to the raised sitting area. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, but have been landscaped around an attractive pond, and there is a vegetable area lying at the foot of the garden. There is also driveway parking for several cars, and an additional four acre paddock and mixed woodland of around one acre.
Edinburgh is easily accessible via the A68, with most Border towns readily available from this central location, as is the aforementioned Borders Railway and the Borders General Hospital which lies on the outskirts of Melrose.
