Greenyards Lodge & Gardener’s Cottage, St. Marys Road, Melrose

Set in a desirable and rarely available location within central Melrose, Greenyards Lodge & Gardener’s Cottage has recently undergone compete renovation and enjoys a wonderful position for all the town has to offer - whether that be the nearby leisure and sporting facilities, the vibrant high street brimming with independent retailers, or the stunning local countryside and riverside walks. The properties have undergone a full renovation resulting in an entirely bespoke and incredibly successful project; with the detached lodge providing bright and well-proportioned accommodation on one level with wrap around gardens and private parking, and the cottage nestled against the garden backdrop and hosting a studio style accommodation for guests, as a holiday let or indeed an extension to the main accommodation.

Ideal for the downsizer retiree market this stylish bungalow is the perfect space to be utilised for those who wish to host guests, for couples who perhaps require a multigenerational home for a relative, as an income stream as luxury guest accommodation, or to be used, as this family does, as an extension to the existing accommodation.

Melrose

The ever popular Melrose – voted the best town to live in Scotland, it’s the undoubted reigning champion across the region in the popularity stakes and a firm favourite for families, retirees and tourists alike. The pull of the quaint and picturesque town lies in its beautifully kept and vibrant high street; packed with independent traders and artisan shops, Melrose retains a traditional market town feel with plenty to do - while still extremely well connected for modern requirement.

The area is surrounded by historical landmarks; with Border heavy weights such Sir Walter Scott’s residence and the St Mary’s Abbey just a short walk, with the backdrop of the Eildon hills on one side, and the River Tweed to the other, making it quite the idyllic spot.

In addition to stunning local scenery, the well-connected town takes advantage of major road and rail links; sitting just off the A68 and A7 with connections to the recently opened Borders Railway at Tweedbank and Galashiels, as well as a local bus service. Edinburgh is within striking distance, just a swift 40 minute drive for the commuter, with the railway opening up the region for both work and leisure.

Local schooling is available from nursery through to primary, with private schooling at the highly regarded St Mary’s. Melrose is also within the catchment for Earlston High School – a well-considered and popular secondary, achieving excellent academic results with great extracurricular opportunities.

There is no shortage of sporting amenities from golf to tennis, football to rugby, and the town is proudly home to the world famous Melrose Sevens.
