Silverdale Cottage is a deceptively spacious and very charming end terraced cottage dating back to 1870 situated in the picturesque hamlet of Redpath. Recently refurbished and decorated throughout to very high standards. The property offers surprisingly spacious, highly versatile accommodation successfully combining a contemporary feel whilst retaining all its intrinsic character and charm. It also benefits from a really lovely outlook with all rooms commanding rural views and a fully enclosed, predominantly south facing garden. The property serves an excellent family home but equally would make an easily manageable weekend retreat/holiday home in the heart of the Scottish Borders.

LOCATION
Redpath is a much sought after Conservation Village situated some three miles from the historic town of Melrose, it is an idyllic location nestled between the River Tweed and the Eildon Hills. The Village has good connections to Edinburgh and lies within easy commuting distance, whilst positioned within a short distance of local schools in both Melrose and Earlston. Situated three miles from the Borders attractions of Scott's View, Dryburgh Abbey and the Wallace Statue the property has open views of the surrounding countryside including the Eildon Hills in the West and the Black Hill at Earlston. Scenic riverside and woodland walks are nearby and for sporting enthusiasts the Tweed Cycle Path and an Equestrian Centre are within the vicinity.
