5 bedroom detached house for sale

LOCATION

Redscaur is situated approximately two miles north of Peebles within the Eddleston Water valley and is accessed off a private road to Nether Kidston Farm from the A703 Edinburgh Road or directly from the new Eddleston Water Multi-Use path from Peebles to Eddleston. Peebles is a thriving market town set on the River Tweed and surrounded by magnificent countryside. It lies approximately 25 miles south of Edinburgh which makes it popular with commuters and families. Local buses travel on a regular basis into Edinburgh city centre, in addition to Galashiels to the east. It retains a full range of shops and services as well as primary and secondary schooling. The wider area retains an abundance of outdoor pursuit opportunities, including fishing, hillwalking, trail running and mountain biking, with the famous mountain biking location of Glentress Forest situated 2 miles to the east of the town.

DIRECTIONS

From Edinburgh, take the A703 south from the Hillend junction, through Penicuik and continue straight on at the Leadburn junction (signposted “Peebles A703”). Continue through the village of Eddleston and beyond the “30” limit for approximately two miles. Pass the entrance to Cringletie House Hotel and continue for another quarter of a mile. Turn right onto the tarmac farm road just after the house known as “Moy Hall” (Nether Kidston Farm), and Redscaur is the second house on the right.

Post Code: EH45 8PJ. It is strongly recommended that you do not rely on Satnav in this rural location and check on a route map prior to any scheduled viewing.
