But ‘n’ Ben Cottage is a very well presented and deceptively spacious four/five-bedroom mid-terraced cottage situated in the charming village of Maxton. Only a mile and a half from the popular Borders village of St. Boswells, the property, previously two properties, have been sympathetically joined into one, provide flexible family living throughout.
Of particular note is the generous, and attractive l-shaped garden with plans for a studio under ‘permitted development rights’ along with a separate, shared access – which would be ideal for those looking to work from home.
The cottage is also located in a strong school catchment with the Borders Railway station at Tweedbank, and the A68 offering excellent transport links to Edinburgh and the North of England.
Lying across two levels the accommodation comprises of four main bedrooms, a family bathroom, a sitting room, a dining kitchen, an office/fifth bedroom, a utility room, a boot room and a downstairs wc. There is also good internal and external storage which is particularly useful as well as gas fired central heating.
Externally, there is a large l-shaped south-facing garden to the rear with an abundance of small trees, shrubs, borders and lawn which is surrounded by open fields to the rear. There are plentiful areas to sit out with the garden providing an excellent space for informal entertaining.
Most Border towns are readily accessible from the area, as is Berwick-upon-Tweed which has a mainline railway connection to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London. The Borders Railway, running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, lies approximately eight and a half miles away and adds to the accessibility of the St. Boswells area.
Kelso 8.5 miles. Edinburgh 40 miles. Melrose 6.5 miles. St. Boswells 1.5 miles. Tweedbank 8.5 miles. (All distances are approximate)

Kelso (10 miles away) is a thriving market town with a larger array of amenities including a racecourse, the historic Floors Castle, home of the Duke of Roxburghe, and a championship golf course.
