Description

Welcome to The Coppice, an impressive villa situated in the idyllic locale of Borthwickbrae, Roxburghshire, a true haven nestled within the picturesque Scottish Borders. As a property agent with expansive global expertise, I must admit I find this property to be a real gem, not just because of its architecture, but due to its unique setting that offers a wonderful lifestyle experience for those seeking the tranquility of the countryside paired with proximity to local culture and amenities.

The Coppice stands proudly among the rolling hills, having been meticulously built by its current owner around 24 years ago. Its location on an elevated site back from a serene country lane ensures absolute privacy, while granting breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding hills. The Scottish Borders region is known for being relatively untouched, maintaining a peaceful and secluded atmosphere cherished by its residents.

For prospective buyers, particularly those from overseas or returning expats, the allure of moving into this villa is not simply about securing a beautiful home but also embracing a lifestyle brimming with outdoor adventure and community engagement. If you're an enthusiast for hiking or cycling, you're in luck. The villa is just a stone’s throw away from the River Borthwick, and a mere 5 miles from Craik Forest, a paradise for walkers and mountain bikers alike. You won’t even need a car to enjoy the extensive outdoor activities available—how convenient is that?

Life in Roxburghshire offers a rhythm that's both peaceful and engaging. Within around 6 miles, you’ll find Hawick, a bustling market town offering essential amenities, from supermarkets to a modern leisure centre equipped with a swimming pool. Whether it’s rugby, football, or simply relaxing in the park, Hawick provides ample opportunities for recreational activities. The local cultural scene is vibrant, with annual events like the famous 'Common Riding' and the Reivers Festival, drawing both locals and visitors for jubilant celebrations.

For those concerned with connectivity and commuting, The Coppice is strategically positioned. Edinburgh is around 54 miles to the north and can be reached conveniently via the A7. Or if you're inclined towards public transport, the Borders Railway Line provides efficient and comfortable commuting options to the Scottish capital. Moreover, Edinburgh and Newcastle airports, as well as mainline railway stations at Berwick-on-Tweed and Carlisle, offer direct services to London, making national and international travel a breeze.

Now, let's dive into the villa itself. This property is impressively spacious, extending over 4,000 sq ft, and provides five well-appointed bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom or shower room, perfect for both family and guests. The heart of the villa is undoubtedly the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. This expansive space is bathed in sunlight and incorporates a cozy solid fuel stove, making it ideal for both entertaining and relaxing. The kitchen boasts a sleek Rangemaster cooker and thoughtfully designed handmade cabinetry, meeting all your culinary needs.

The ground floor accommodates several delightful features:
- Double-door entry into a welcoming vestibule
- Grand sitting room with an inglenook fireplace
- Formal dining room with garden views
- A bespoke study/library with patio access
- Utility room, boot room, and rear garden access

Ascending to the first floor reveals:

- A master bedroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath
- A versatile box room or home office space

The exterior doesn't disappoint either.

Two shepherd's huts adorn the grounds, adding charm and potential for various uses, from a summer retreat to additional guest accommodation.

In terms of climate, the area promises cool, refreshing summers and mild, wet winters, typical of the maritime temperate climate Scotland is known for, ensuring lush greenery and flowing rivers year-round.

In closing, The Coppice is more than just a villa; it is an opportunity to invest in a lifestyle enriched by nature, culture, and community. For those willing to immerse themselves in such an environment, you’ll find this property perfectly suits both your residential and recreational aspirations.
