Braeside Cottage is the most charming three-bedroom cottage situated in the popular village of Newstead, which lies on the fringes of the much sought-after Borders town of Melrose, which has recently been voted 'One of the Best Places to Live in Scotland in 2022' by The Sunday Times.
With period features and superb timber detailing throughout it would make an ideal primary or secondary home in a highly accessible area, with the A68 nearby, and the property only two and a half miles from the Borders Railway, which runs from Tweedbank to Edinburgh. Of particular note, is the location of the Borders General Hospital which lies on the outskirts of Melrose, as well as the strong primary and secondary school catchment.
Internally, this quaint and well-appointed cottage benefits from three bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, a further bathroom, a sitting room, a large open plan sunken kitchen with dining area, a conservatory and a utility room. With gas fired central heating, the property is deceptively spacious and offers excellent flexible living.
Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed garden to the rear with patio accessed from the conservatory, that provides a lovely space for more informal entertaining. Terraced, with stone detailing, and with steps to a large raised paved area it offers plentiful space to sit out and enjoy the sunshine. There is on-street parking at the foot of Claymires Lane, a short walk from the property.
Edinburgh and Newcastle are easily accessible via the A68, with most Border towns readily available from this central location, with the aforementioned Borders Railway, closeby.
Edinburgh 39 miles. Melrose 1 mile. Galashiels 6 miles. Tweedbank 2.5 miles (All distances are approximate)

Location:
Braeside Cottage is situated in Newstead, only a short distance from the attractive Borders town of Melrose. Regarded by many as the most picturesque of the Borders towns, situated between the Eildon Hills and River Tweed, it has just been voted 'One of the Best Places to Live in Scotland in 2022' by The Sunday Times.
With an approximate population of around 2100 in Melrose, and 1200 in the immediate villages of Gattonside, Darnick and Newstead, the town provides an extensive choice of amenities ranging from a variety of specialist independent shops including a greengrocer, a fishmonger, two butchers, antique and interiors shops, small supermarkets, a large selection of restaurants and numerous hotels, all situated around the High Street area of this vibrant town.
The thriving old mill town of Galashiels five miles to the West offers a fuller range of shopping facilities, which include Tesco, ASDA, Boots, Next and Marks & Spencer.
Local tourist attractions include Melrose Abbey, Harmony House (home to the Borders Book Festival), Priorwood Gardens, the Greenyards(home of Melrose RFC and Rugby Sevens)and Abbotsford House with award winning visitor centre, the former home of Sir Walter Scott. There are also a variety of outdoor pursuits in the area that include fishing on the River Tweed, fieldsports, horse riding, golf, lawn bowling, mountain biking, and a selection of walks including the Southern Upland Way, St. Cuthbert’s Way and The Borders Abbeys Way. Several festivals which include the Melrose 7’s Rugby Tournament, the Borders Book Festival and the Melrose Festival complete with ride-out attract visitors from far and wide.
Local schools include the excellent Melrose primary school, the highly regarded St Mary’s preparatory school, and Earlston High School.
The Borders General Hospital also lies just outside the town, and there are a number of churches in the area with Catholic, Episcopal and Church of Scotland represented in the town. Melrose sits in an easily accessible area and can be reached by the A68 or A7 via Galashiels that provide the links to Edinburgh or the north of England.
The area is also served by the Borders Railway that runs from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, with the station approximately two and a half miles away. There is also a busy bus service with links to Newcastle and Carlisle in the South, as well as Edinburgh and the other Border towns. Edinburgh and Newcastle airports - both international, offer an excellent choice of destinations and are 45 miles and 66 miles away respectively.
