Templecroft
Templecroft is a traditional stone built cottage, positioned in a great location within the sought after conservation village of Minto. Originally the village blacksmith’s house adjoining the former smiddy to the rear, the property is in all but name detached, with its own frontage dating from around 1890 and extended and developed approximately 30 years ago to prove two distinct dwellings. The property enjoys an enviable position within the village, lying across from Minto golf course and set against the countryside backdrop of the Minto Hills. The traditional stone built property has classic cottage charm with picket fence to both front and side. A central entrance porch with accommodation spreading over two floors includes a generously proportioned dining/kitchen extension to side complete with French doors providing direct access to the patio and cottage garden, an ideal sheltered suntrap which enjoys good evening sunshine and majestic views to the hills. With two public rooms, including a dining room or second sitting room off the kitchen there is scope to adapt the existing configuration to provide a further bedroom downstairs to accommodate one level living if preferred.

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.
