A charming cottage with location to match

Quarry Cottage in the ancient Borders village of Redpath provides a fantastic opportunity to purchase a charming country home. This traditional cottage is on sale with leading Scottish property consultants, CKD Galbraith.

The property provides an excellent place to enjoy the tranquil countryside, with a total of four bedrooms providing plenty of space for comfortable family living and for entertaining guests.

On entering the property, the host of cosy public rooms on the ground floor gives an indication of the impressive standard of the house. Among the rooms on the ground floor are the dining room, lower bedroom, farmhouse kitchen and spacious sitting room.

Of particular interest is the sitting room, with the grand double French doors providing lovely views over the paved patio and over the immaculate garden beyond. The kitchen comes complete with everything required of a modern family home whilst retaining some traditional features including Aga cooker and original fireplace.

Outside, the hedged garden provides a haven in which to relax with the mature trees and plants providing a nice setting for entertaining friends and family during the summer months. The well-positioned layout of the gardens provides plenty of space for vehicles and storage with gravelled off-road parking providing space for at least two cars whilst the garage/workshop has facilities in place should the new owner wish to use it as a kitchen utility room.

Alexander Inglis, who is handling the sale for CKD Galbraith, said: “Quarry Cottage offers a great opportunity to own a lovely family home in a beautiful rural setting. It is unusual that a property would suit many different buyers, but Quarry Cottage would be ideal for families looking for a rural house within commuting distance of Edinburgh or for an older buyer looking to move to quieter surroundings with space to accommodate family and friends.

“The welcoming nature of the property is obvious as soon as you enter the hallway, with the public rooms and upstairs living areas providing a fantastic space for homely family living. Coupled with the fantastic garden, Quarry Cottage provides a fantastic opportunity to move to an idyllic rural retreat.”

The village of Redpath is a historic conservation area, formerly part of the estate of the Scottish crown until Robert the Bruce granted it to his nephew, the Earl of Moray. The area offers an abundance of outdoor pursuits as well as excellent schooling available in Earlston, which is just over three miles away. With Galashiels close by and Edinburgh just over thirty miles away, Quarry Cottage is ideally located for both rural and city life.

Quarry Cottage is on the market at a guide price of £340,000.
