Set in the quiet hamlet of Redpath and surrounded by undulating countryside, this traditional semi-detached cottage is perfect for a family or group of friends yearning for a relaxing holiday in the Scottish Borders. The cottage’s proximity to Melrose and Earlston (within 5 miles), as well as River Tweed, the River Leader and the Eildon Hills means a wealth of cultural, historical and natural attractions is within easy reach.
This gorgeous two-storey cottage has an elegant and homely feel to it, with its beamed ceilings and stylish soft furnishings bringing life to its large rooms. The cottage’s colour palette is bright and fresh, with colourful touches here and there to catch the eye.
You will enter via a short flight of stone steps into a wide hallway. The spacious lounge is a welcoming room ideal for family time and comes complete with sofas arranged around a wood burner set within the original fireplace. The country-style kitchen/diner has slate flooring and a cushioned bay window seat, ideal for foodies who enjoy company while they cook. The presence of a utility cupboard will reassure those who like to run a tidy holiday household.
A narrow staircase leads to the first floor, home to a bright and spacious family bathroom and two inviting bedrooms. The en-suite king-size bedroom is tastefully finished and enjoys underfloor heating, while the twin bedroom, which can convert to a super-king, features a sloping ceiling.
The attractive garden outside is enclosed by a hedge and enjoys scenic country views. The table and chairs on the patio are all set up for alfresco meals and a lawn area beyond is ideal for children to play on.
