Set in the grounds of a country house in an elevated rural position with far reaching views yet still less than 2 miles from the town of Hawick with its excellent leisure facilities and an array of eateries to enjoy. Relax and take in the spectacular countryside and rolling hill views. Explore fantastic walking, hiking and cycling routes directly from the property which sits on two of Scotland’s great trails; The Cross Borders Drove Road and the Roman and Reivers Route. Enjoy salmon and trout fishing on the River Teviot and the famous River Tweed. Visit the Borders distillery, top class mill outlets in Hawick,’The home of Cashmere’ or the local Celtic goldsmith (8 miles) at The Johnnie Armstrong Gallery. This is a fantastic base to explore the Scottish Borders with its historic country houses and towns. Within easy touring distance of Melrose (19 miles) and Berwick-upon-Tweed (39 miles).

 As you enter the fully renovated cottage, you will find yourself in an airy hallway, with space to hang your coats and store your walking boots. Off the hallway there is a bright open plan contemporary lounge/kitchen/diner. From the lounge, take in the view over the garden and open countryside, kick back and relax on the comfy seating, watch a good movie on the Smart TV after a day out exploring. Heading back through the hallway, you will find a comfortable bedroom with king size bed, a romantic view across the garden where you can listen to the birdsong in the morning. Next door you will find the shower room with large shower and WC.

There is a lovely enclosed well established cottage garden with a lawn and abundant colourful flowerbeds throughout the summer which is accessed from the kitchen/ lounge via a couple of steps which lead onto a patio with seating. It offers a real sun trap on a nice day and is a great place to read a good book and enjoy a morning coffee and perhaps catch sight of wildlife such as deer, hares and swifts.
