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. HALL
