Braeside
Cottage is a very attractive traditional sandstone property in a convenient
central location within the conversation village of St Boswells. Formerly
a Bank with attached house, it has been carefully converted to provide particularly
bright, spacious accommodation presented in excellent order with a contemporary
feel, enjoying a good level of privacy. The attic has been fully floored
and lined, offering the potential for further development to provide additional
accommodation if required.
LOCATION
St Boswells lies about 40 miles from Edinburgh and is a short distance
from the Borders towns of Kelso, Melrose, Galashiels and Selkirk. Local
facilities include a primary school, a variety of shops, a hotel and a
garage. The village falls within the catchment area for the highly regarded
Secondary School at Earlston. It is an exceptional centre for sporting
facilities with a cricket ground, tennis courts, nine-hole golf course
and fishing all available locally. The nearby River Tweed with its well-wooded
banks makes St Boswells a beautiful Border setting with ample opportunities
for walks within the countryside including the famous St. Cuthbert's Way
which is easily accessible from the house.
