Perfect for sharing, this quaint, beautifully presented period cottage radiates charm and tranquility, sitting in an idyllic village location close to the River Tweed right in the heart of Border country.
Surrounded by glorious scenery and wonderful walks from the doorstep, this is a blissful spot to retreat, relax and enjoy all that this area has to offer.
Step inside, and the classic period features of the cottage shine through with original beams, elegant furnishings, antiques and artworks soothed with a gentle country style. In the sitting room, deep squishy sofas set against a calming colour palette and a cosy woodburning stove provide a lovely space for families and friends to spend some together-time.
High quality finishes continue into the kitchen with shaker style units, wooden work surfaces and a contemporary range style cooker which will delight the budding chefs in the party. Underfloor heating throughout the kitchen and dining space keeps things nice and toasty where you can cradle a rich morning coffee and contemplate the day ahead curled up on the charming window seat.
Upstairs, the serene theme continues in the two double bedrooms (one en- suite) featuring super comfortable Hypnos beds, finished with crisp White Company linens and opulent throws and cushions from local textile producers.
