Pretty as a picture, Stables Cottage is a traditional Victorian cottage with a modern twist and an enviable location, set against a woodland backdrop within easy walking distance of Minto Golf Course and surrounded by Borders countryside.
The cottage also boasts wrap-round gardens extending to three-quarters-of-an-acre incorporating a double garage, wildlife pond, and patio seating area, while the rear garden comprises lawn with vegetable plots, raised beds, fruit trees and a greenhouse.
Extended over the years and sympathetically modernised, this beautifully presented family home is a charming fusion of traditional and modern with versatile accommodation spread over two floors.
At ground level, there’s a dual aspect living room with an exposed stone fireplace wall and wood-burning stove, adjoining dining area (currently a home office) with doors to a paved patio and sprawling garden beyond, fitted and well equipped dining kitchen with four-door Aga and adjoining walk-in utility/pantry with rear garden access, garden/music room with wood-burning stove – and a ground floor double bedroom with adjacent shower room, ideal as guest accommodation.
Upstairs are two further double bedrooms – master with dual aspect windows and built-in storage, while the second double bedroom is adjacent to a family bathroom which continues the contemporary theme which extends throughout the house.
Minto is a popular Borders village close to the equally popular neighbouring village of Denholm, while the Minto Hills offer some of the best views in the Scottish Borders. Local landmarks include Ruberslaw, an extinct volcano to the south of Denholm, and the local estate, which offers excellent walks and woodlands.
Stables Cottage is a real country charmer and a forever home of style and substance. Offers over £525,000 to Hastings Legal in Kelso.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
