4 bedroom house to rent

DESCRIPTION

Eaststead is a good sized, four-bedroom, family house of two storey height, which is semi-detached. It was converted (along with the three other courtyard houses) in the late 1990s, utilising the original solid stone walls, with upper timber frame and timber clad sections, all under a pitched slate roof. There is a single storey extension to the east housing the attached outhouse/garden shed.

Outside there is a fully fenced, private, south facing garden and patio area with adjoining car parking to the south-west corner. There is open countryside beyond. To the north is the shared courtyard garden (maintained by the estate, subject to a tenant’s annual contribution).

LOCATION

Eaststead is located at Bordlands, which lies approximately one mile south of the village of Romannobridge and four miles south of the town of West Linton.

Romannobridge retains a primary school and community centre. West Linton offers a small range of shops and services (including primary school), with a wider range available in nearby Peebles (approximately 10 miles to the south-east) which retains secondary schooling or Penicuik (approximately 10 miles to the north-east). Edinburgh is approximately 22 miles to the north and is easily accessed via the A701.
