About this property
Pergola is a charming cottage resting in Gattonside, Melrose, Scottish Borders, with countryside views, roadside parking close by, and a front patio where you can pause and take in the fresh Borders air. Step through the door into the living/dining room, where soft lighting, characterful touches, and the glow of the electric fire create a warm backdrop for your time away. Sink into the seating with a favourite film on the Smart TV, lay out maps at the dining table as you plan walks along the river, or linger over simple suppers that stretch into the evening. From here, move through to the practical kitchen, equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer, offering everything you need for relaxed self-catering.
On the ground floor, the single bedroom provides a thoughtful option for a guest who prefers to stay downstairs. Climb the stairs to the king-size bedroom, an inviting space finished with a Smart TV so you can unwind with a programme before sleep. The sleek shower room completes the interior, with a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, basin, and WC adding ease to daily routines. Open the front door to the patio and spend a moment simply taking in the countryside views, sipping a morning coffee at the outdoor furniture or sharing an evening drink as the light fades over the surrounding landscape.
From Pergola, the streets of Melrose are within reach on foot, with shops, a pub, and the river all close enough for easy visits, whether you are picking up ingredients, enjoying a meal out, or joining a local trail. Whatever your plans, Pergola offers a lovely base for time spent discovering this characterful region.
