Foresters
Cottage is a superb period style detached house with an attractive
stone frontage with traditional and well designed accommodation.
Lying in the centre of the village next to the Minto Estate and
popular Golf Course this most desirable property is well worth viewing.
LOCATION
Minto is a much sought after Borders location sheltering below the
Minto Hills and with some of the best views in the Borders. Local
landmarks include Ruberslaw, an extinct volcano lying south of Denholm,
Minto Crags and the now semi ruinous tower known as Fatlips Castle.
Minto is a mile from the thriving village of Denholm with its local
shops, village pubs, bistro, garage and new state of the art Primary
School with Secondary Schools at Hawick or Jedburgh and Private
Schooling at St Mary's Melrose. The area offers excellent opportunities
for horse riding or walking in the surrounding hills and woodlands
while the 18-hole golf course is on your doorstep and a real bonus
to any golf enthusiast wanting to pop over the fence for an early
morning round.
DIRECTIONS
From Denholm take the sign at the Village Green to Minto and travel
in the direction of the golf course turning right and uphill following
the road past the golf entrance with Foresters Cottage on the left
some 50 yards beyond the Parish Church.
