Situation

Braefoot Cottage inhabits a south facing elevated position, located on the outskirts of Oxton with fantastic wraparound views, around 4 miles north of the historic market town of Lauder. Oxton itself has a local shop, a pottery, a Bird Garden and Cafe, and a primary school, while the Carfraemill Lodge Hotel is just a short walk away. The Tower Hotel in Oxton is currently undergoing refurbishment and is due to reopen later this year. Lauder (4 miles) offers all the facilities expected of a thriving small town including a Co-operative supermarket, a popular art gallery and coffee shop, a delicatessen, three hotels, an artisan baker, an award-winning butcher, a greengrocer, a petrol station, a pharmacy, a post office and a number of independent retailers contributing to the strong sense of local community.

Schooling is available at Channelkirk Primary School in Oxton itself, and it also lies in the catchment area for the highly regarded Earlston High School (11 miles), which offers secondary schooling and enjoys a splendid new campus as well as consistently scoring well in national league tables. With the A68 just on the doorstep, and the Edinburgh City Bypass just under 20 minutes away, this is a popular area for those looking for value for money and a more relaxed lifestyle whilst remaining easily commutable.
