Situation

Rose Cottage occupies a prime plot in the desirable hamlet of Eildon, close to the beautiful historic town of Melrose. Melrose recently took the title of the “Best Place to Live in Scotland” in a new national ranking by the Sunday Times and is regarded by many as the most desirable and picturesque town of the Borders. Centrally located in the Scottish Borders, Eildon has easy access to the A68 which links to Edinburgh and Newcastle to the north and south respectively. The A7 is also easily accessible, and the Borders Railway Terminus at Tweedbank is a short drive away, with a journey time to central Edinburgh of under an hour. Melrose and nearby St Boswells offer excellent local amenities that include primary schools, independent shops including the renowned Main Street Trading, public houses, hotels, restaurants and sporting facilities. Eildon falls under the catchment for the nearby Earlston High School which is highly regarded. The Borders General Hospital is only a short drive away. The region is well known for its beauty and the lifestyle it offers, and with both country and coastal pursuits on hand, the area is an attractive and enviable part of the country to reside in.

Description

Nestled at the foot of the Eildon Hills, Rose Cottage presents an up-to-date, spacious, bright and private property in an extremely desirable plot within a friendly hamlet. The property was built around 1999 and offers turn-key living accommodation and manageable, secure dog and child friendly garden grounds.

The private gated driveway gives access to the parking area and gardens. The front door provides access into the welcoming porch and hallway. From here is the spacious triple-aspect sitting room homing a central living flame fireplace with an adjoining dining room with a skylight window and French doors out to the patio and garden. Further through the hallway is the dining kitchen fitted with a selection of wall and base units, free standing fridge and oven with a hob. A utility room attached to the kitchen provides a great space for laundry/cleaning with a washing machine and a dishwasher, and the back door provides access to the garden/driveway. There are two double bedrooms (one with built in wardrobes) and the expansive principal bedroom with built in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. Completing the accommodation is a main bathroom fitted with a large shower, WC, storage cupboard and vanity unit.

Outside

Externally to the front, the gated driveway that runs from the quiet cul-de-sac up to the front of the property provides ample driveway parking for several cars and access to the garage. To the rear and sides of the property is the formal lawn area, with two well placed patios to enjoy the sunshine and a well-stocked flower bed and fruit trees, adding year-round colour and interest.
