The property

Completed in 2007 and set in the countryside just five miles from Kelso, Braeside is a substantial detached contemporary villa designed to meet the needs of today’s family lifestyle – with the added provision of land, including a paddock extending to around an acre, which could provide scope for equestrian use as there is also ample space for stables, if required. Benefitting from unrestricted south facing views across the lower Tweed valley to the Cheviots and equally impressive views of Hume Castle from the paddock, the property is one of two recently built homes in a farming hamlet. However, location is only one of this property’s unique selling points; it also offers truly spacious accommodation, underfloor heating and wood flooring throughout the ground floor living areas - and an energy efficient heating system powered by a ground source heat pump. Installed in 2014, the heating qualifies for an RHI payback tariff, currently in the region of £3,200 per year. Braeside also has private enclosed gardens – the total ground area including paddock extends to 1.4 acres – and a detached double garage with rafter storage and workshop area. Braeside is a thoroughly modern home that ticks all the boxes with space for entertaining, coming together as a family and ensuring an abundance of personal space as well as quiet spots for solitary pursuits such as reading. Moreover, it has over an acre of grounds that offer countless opportunities to play, grow your own produce, keep chickens or facilitate equestrian pursuits.
