The property

Nestled in some of the Borders most popular countryside, 15 The Orchard enjoys a wonderful position within the picturesque village of Newstead; within a short walk of the ever popular town of Melrose and ideally placed for transport links and amenities. The property is immaculately presented, and hosts open living accommodation with two well appointed double bedrooms and a charming enclosed garden to the rear – making it the perfect spot for those in search of a country getaway, or a well considered purchase for the first time buyer.

  • Location

    Newstead remains a popular choice; with its peaceful village location and excellent links to transport and further Border towns, the village provides an ideal balance of country living and modern requirements. The quaint village centres round the historic main street; with traditional stone-built properties giving Newstead character and charm, with the back drop of the Eildon hills and River Tweed beyond adding to the picture perfect setting. The Orchard opens just off the main street, and the cul de sac is a relatively recent addition to the village, hosting a collection of well presented homes backing onto fields to the rear. A regular bus service runs through the village, with connections to the recently opened Borders Railway at Tweedbank and Galashiels with nearby attractions including a good range of quality shops, restaurants and facilities at Melrose. Local schooling is available at Melrose Primary School, Earlston High School or private schooling at St Mary’s Melrose. Newstead lies five minutes from the local hospital at Borders General and local attractions include Abbotsford, Trimontium, hill walking on the Eildons and along the River Tweed with plenty of sporting opportunities from golf to rugby including the world famous Melrose Sevens.

  • Outside

    A gravelled driveway to the front provides off-street parking, with the main garden lying to the rear.

The rear garden has been landscaped to incorporate a good sized patio and seating area, with garden shed, raised planted beds and steps leading to the rear gate, opening to fields and endless countryside walks.
