LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Sitting just outside the popular villages of Westruther and Lauder in a quiet hamlet of largely traditional properties, the location is perfect for those looking to take advantage of the surrounding countryside and a rural lifestyle, whilst remaining well connected for modern living and family requirement.

A super country spot for equestrian and outdoor enthusiasts, the area has much to offer families, couples and retirees alike, and has proven particularly popular for commuters and those relocating from city life.

The obvious charm of the peaceful country lifestyle and glorious scenery is complemented by the range of amenities all within reasonable distance. Westruther itself is a quaint Berwickshire village with a good range of amenities including an excellent primary school and nursery, church, village hall, riding school and the popular Inn. It is a thriving ‘wee Borders’ community with a host of activities within the village for young and old. Nearby Lauder is a further popular spot and provides plenty in the way of extra-curricular activities and sports clubs, as well as restaurants, cafes and independent shops and traders. The Raecleugh will fall within the catchment for Earlston High School, well regarded across the region, with a school bus service running from the village.

Transport and road links are surprisingly easy given the country setting; sitting just off the A697 connecting to Edinburgh via the A68, approximate travel times from the Plot are; Edinburgh Airport 50 minutes, Berwick Train Station 40 minutes, Stow Rail Link 20 minutes.
