Charming mews house set over four floors
Fishing parties have the added advantage of prime Tweed beats right on the doorstep and just a short wander to the micro-pub for a fine craft ale or a wee dram after a busy day on the river.
Sitting over four floors, the property opens up into a large boot room with rod racks, ideal for outdoor gear and fishing kit. This leads to the first floor living area which comprises a spacious sitting room with smart plaids and country detailing, and separate galley style kitchen/dining space with a lively limited-edition McCoo artwork adding a bright pop of colour. A small shower room is also situated on this floor.
On the second floor are two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms each comfortably appointed with crisp linens and calming neutrals, while the third floor has a characterful coombed ceiling, yet still generously proportioned for adults. The addition of a TV and beanbags means that it is sure to be a hit with teenagers too!

The area has endless opportunities for walking and cycling with hundreds of miles of quiet country lanes, way-marked routes and forest trails to explore from short gentle meanders to long distance trails, taking in the outstanding scenery of the Cheviot Hills, the Pennine Way and Dere Street. The Borders Abbeys Way takes in the magnificent monastic ruins of Kelso Abbey, while the Kelso to Roxburgh circular is a scenic 3 hour walking route taking in historic sites of interest and plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities along the way.
