Situation
Townhead Steading is situated in a quiet peaceful setting just on the edge of the popular village of Minto. Minto is a pretty conservation village with a strong community spirit. The village offers a well-attended parish Church and a very popular golf club which has regular competitions and a well-regarded restaurant. The area has some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK and offers excellent walking, riding and cycling opportunities from the property.
Two miles to the south is the village of Denholm. Denholm is positioned around a pretty village green and offers excellent local amenities including a primary school, two public house/hotels, butcher, tearoom, post office, shop and restaurant. 7 miles southwest is the town of Hawick, famous for cashmere and the annual Common Riding festival, which has secondary schooling, theatre, leisure centre and pool, shops and supermarkets. The popular town of Melrose is 11 miles to the north. Melrose, which took the 2018 Sunday Times title of the “Best Place to Live in Scotland”, is one of the most picturesque towns in the Sottish Borders and a popular tourist destination offering the world-famous Melrose 7’s, Melrose Abbey, Harmony House, Priorwood Gardens and Abbotsford House, the former home of Sir Walter Scott.
The area boasts many golf courses and there are sporting opportunities for shooting, riding and fishing. The river Teviot is just a mile away and the Tweed is approximately 10 miles distant.
The BGH (Borders General Hospital) lies just to the south of Melrose and is very accessible for Townhead Steading as is Tweedbank Train Station which provides a service into Central Edinburgh in under an hour. Berwick Upon Tweed (approx. 40 miles) provides a major rail link for travel to the South and for the frequent flier, airports can be found in Edinburgh or Newcastle.
