Templecroft, Minto, Denholm TD9

A charming, traditional stone-built cottage situated in a prime location within the highly sought after conservation village of Minto; originally the village blacksmith’s house the cottage adjoins the former smiddy to the rear dating from around 1890. The property was extended some 30 years ago to create two distinct dwellings.
Enjoying an enviable position, the cottage sits across from Minto Golf Course, framed by the picturesque backdrop of the Minto Hills. Classic cottage charm is evident throughout, with a traditional stone exterior and a delightful picket fence enclosing both the front and side.
The accommodation is spread over two floors, featuring a spacious dining/kitchen extension with French door leading directly to a sheltered patio and cottage garden – an ideal suntrap that captures the evening light while offering breath-taking views of the hills. With two public rooms, including a dining room or second sitting room off the kitchen, there is flexibility to adapt the layout, with the potential to create a ground-floor bedroom for single-level living if desired.

Location

The village of Minto is a much sought after Borders location sheltering below the Minto Hills with the landmark Ruberslaw, lying south of Denholm, Minto Estate and woodland walks and pele tower known as Fatlips Castle. The village centres around the Parish Church, a Victorian building in the Gothic style designed by Playfair (1830) replacing a much earlier medieval building which stood a short distance to the east and dated back to at least 1275. The village is a mile from the nearby village of Denholm with its local shops, village pubs, bistro, garage and Primary School with the nearby towns of Hawick and Jedburgh providing a range of shops and facilities and Secondary Schools. The Borders rail connection to Edinburgh is some 20 minutes’ drive with stations at Galashiels and ample parking at Tweedbank near Melrose. The 18-Hole Golf Course at Minto is just a hop over the fence and ideal for that early morning round.
