Nearby Norham is 5 miles east and has a butcher, fishing tackle shop, and fantastic fishing on the picturesque River Tweed.

 Venture over the threshold of this inviting cottage into the bright and airy open-plan diner/kitchen/lounge. The beautifully presented space is perfect for everyone to be together with plenty of room for the whole family. Step down into the kitchen and pull up a stool at the breakfast bar to sit and chat with a drink while the family chef prepares a special meal in the well-equipped, contemporary kitchen, and sit together at the farmhouse-style six-seater table for sociable dinners. In the lounge, the wall-to-wall sliding windows provide lovely views of the pretty garden and allow plenty of natural light to flood in. Return from a day exploring the area to relax together on comfortable sofas with the wood burner adding to the cosy ambience. You can all enjoy a movie night watching the Smart TV in the lounge. Two steps up take you to the utility room with a sink, washing machine, an additional fridge, and a door that leads you out to the garden. There is also a separate snug with a second TV, a desk, sofa, games, and books, perfect for children or anyone looking for their own space. There is a king-size bedroom on the ground floor with a Jack and Jill en-suite shower which connects to the utility room, whilst a second shower room is located off the snug. Heading upstairs, you will find a king-size bedroom with gorgeous village green views and an en-suite bathroom where you can enjoy a long soak with bubbles after a busy day. A separate cosy twin bedroom with Velux windows is accessed off the landing.

Outside, the generous, enclosed, rear garden has a patio area with garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ, ideal for al fresco dining. Two steps take you up to the lawn and a parking area accessible from the rear. A side gate gives you access to the village green and the fields beyond.
