An idyllic five bedroom family home in the heart of the Scottish Borders has come to market for offers over £900,000.
The Cottage, Morridgehall, St. Boswells near Melrose, is a detached, two storey family house with its origins in a terrace of farm cottages dating from c.1880. The modern entrance hall and galleried landing cleverly connects the “old” and the “new” elements of the house, with natural light from the glass panels.
James Denne, Property Consultant at GSC Grays Farms & Country House Department, said “In 2006, the cottages underwent a comprehensive refurbishment, resulting in a stunning example of architectural design that effortlessly combines traditional and contemporary elements. This has created a wonderful home, perfectly situated within the spectacular and picturesque Borders countryside.
“The Cottage is just a stone’s throw from the popular village of St Boswells, home to The Mainstreet Trading Company, a vibrant bookshop, deli, and café. The area is also renowned for offering some of the finest fishing in Europe, with the Rivers Tweed and Teviot nearby.”
The house has five well-proportioned bedrooms, two reception rooms an open plan kitchen, dining and family room, with French windows opening on to the veranda which connects the inside and outdoors area while the versatile studio has its own entrance.
The Cottage stands in about 5 acres with the garden and paddock separated by a burn. Surrounding the house are lawns with a series of paths leading to the established wildflower meadow and mixed species woodland.
A treehouse overlooks the garden and there is an orchard with a variety of productive fruit trees. Set apart from the house is a large workshop/garage, with its own driveway, and a sheltered kitchen garden with raised beds. There is water and power installed in the workshop.
The town of Melrose is nearby, with Galashiels and Kelso also within easy reach. St Boswells offers a range of local amenities, including a mini supermarket with post office facilities, a butcher, a petrol station, and a hotel. Edinburgh lies to the north, while Berwick-upon-Tweed, located to the east, is served by the East Coast Mainline. The Borders Railway provides a direct connection to Edinburgh Waverley from its terminus at Tweedbank.
The Cottage has been launched on the market with a guide price of offers over £900,000 through the GSC Grays Alnwick office 01665 568310.
