Embrace the peaceful surroundings of this sleepy farm hamlet on the edge of the bustling market town of Kelso
Here is a very pretty cottage sitting in an exceptionally lovely spot with immaculate lawned garden and spectacular views of the Cheviot Hills beyond. Enter through the wooden picket fence into the enclosed lawned garden which expands across the entire front aspect of the cottage and you have an idyllic spot to dine al fresco while drinking in those dramatic views.
A warm and welcoming space thanks to a classic Farrow & Ball colour palette, the open plan living area boasts sumptuous leather seating, rich textiles, and a 50" wall-mounted Smart TV set around a cosy electric stove. At the far end of the room is a contemporary Shaker-style kitchen with high-quality quartz work surfaces and a kitchen island with seating for two - perfect for relaxed chit-chat while rustling up a homemade meal to be enjoyed around the trestle-style dining table.
Just off the living space, there’s a handy utility room, which is ideal for drying off dogs and outdoor kit after a walk through the rolling Borders countryside. For less mobile guests, the cottage benefits from a ground floor master bedroom with en suite shower room and step-free access to the rear lawned garden through the French doors. An additional shower room is located on the ground floor with a rainfall walk-in shower.
Upstairs are two further bedrooms – one of which can be made up as a double or twin – featuring pitched ceilings and Velux windows bringing the outside in. For a final luxury, relax in the claw-foot bathtub in the third bathroom and soak up the starry night skies after a day of adventures in the great outdoors.
