Rose Cottage is a pretty end terraced cottage situated close to the centre of the small but busy village of Gordon in the Scottish Borders. The outside façade hides a deceptively spacious, bright interior which has been well maintained over the years. Given its size, it would be ideal as a starter home or as an investment purchase. It enjoys being close to the centre of the village but with the addition of outlooks at the rear over the adjoining fields giving a very country feel. The garden to the rear is totally enclosed, mainly paved and very easily maintained.
Location:
Gordon is a village centrally situated within the Borders with good access to Galashiels (14 miles), Edinburgh (37 miles), Kelso (9 miles) and Duns (12 miles) and is on a bus route. The village enjoys an active sense of community, and has a village shop, Primary School, Public House, Green Bowling Club and Football Club. Secondary schooling is catered for in nearby Earlston at a new state of the art High School. The surrounding area has a wealth of historical and natural attractions, plenty of activities for those with an interest in country pursuits and is swathed by open farmland.
