A charming and utterly unique two-bedroom cottage, occupying a secluded south-facing plot on a peaceful lane in Newstead. Claymire Cottage dates back to the circa 1850 where it was thought to have been built for a successful local stonemason – The Pringles of Newstead - using their trade to its full advantage the property was built in local heritage stone and sits in a generous south-facing walled garden. Rich in charm and character the property offers incoming purchasers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a picture-perfect cottage in a much sought-after location close to busy Border town of Melrose.
The house retains much of its period charm with stone flagged floors, original floorboards, sash & case windows and quaint dormer windows – there are also two open fires located in the dining room and sitting room. Set over two floors the cottage boasts a large open-plan living/dining area with a good-sized kitchen and bathroom. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor where there are two generous double bedrooms with leafy views to the garden and a charming third bedroom space which could equally serve as a comfortable study.
The cottage sits peacefully on Claymire’s Lane and has a wonderfully private feel. The generous south-facing garden is rich in flora and fauna with a wealth or herbaceous borders, deep flower beds with specimen flowers and trees. There is a useful garden store also located within the boundary.
The cottage is within easy walking distance of Melrose town centre with its abundance of local retailers, coffee spots and restaurants. It is also well served by Melrose Grammar School, St Mary’s Preparatory school and is served by a direct bus link to Earlston High School for secondary pupils.
