About this property

A delightfully presented traditional detached cottage in the small village of Lilliesleaf, near Ancrum in the heart of the beautiful Scottish Borders countryside. Fully-renovated but still retaining many original features, this cottage is ideal for couples or families looking for a stylish base to explore this stunning part of the country or to unwind in the tranquil surroundings. Stylishly decorated throughout, there are two bedrooms. The double has a south-facing aspect overlooking the front of the cottage and open countryside, towards the Cheviot Hills in the distance, while the single room overlooks the rear garden and has an elevated view of the village and hills beyond. The living accommodation exudes style with a well-equipped fitted kitchen with a dining area leading into a sitting room with a cosy woodburner. Outside is a spacious rear garden with furniture and a barbecue and is the perfect place to relax with a drink and enjoy the scenery. The small, attractive village of Lilliesleaf boasts a pub, a gallery cafe and a golf course. The nearby village of Ancrum is home to a village pub, shop and Post Office. With access to great scenery for walking, cycling and fishing, as well as the historic abbeys of Dryburgh, Melrose and Jedburgh, this cottage is the ideal retreat.

Lilliesleaf is a small village that sits in Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders. There is an 11th century church in the village and Bronze Age settlements have been discovered alongside. Today, Lilliesleaf has a gallery cafe and two pubs and the towns of Ancrum and St Boswells are close by and provide the shops.
