Situation
Templeknowe occupies a wonderful private setting about 0.5 miles south-east of the popular conservation village of St Boswells. This delightful village is set on the banks of the River Tweed and offers good local amenities which include The Main Street Trading Company (Best Small Shop 2018, Best Bookshop (The Telegraph)), the Buccleuch Arms Hotel & Restaurant, J.C Douglas Butchers and a local convenience store to name a few. Within a short drive are the popular towns of Melrose, Kelso and Galashiels which all offer more well-known national amenities and services.

The Scottish Borders are renowned for breath-taking scenery; Templeknowe is ideally placed for those interested in outdoor pursuits. The famous River Tweed is a 500 metre stroll from the property, offering some of the best salmon fishing in the country, and there are many peaceful walks on your doorstep - including the St Cuthbert’s Way - as well as stunning cycling routes and sporting activities. St Boswells has a cricket club; there are a number of local golf courses with the famous links of East Lothian within easy driving distance and the Borders towns are famous for their rugby clubs and rugby history.

Excellent primary schooling is readily available within St Boswells with secondary schooling at Earlston High School, whilst private schooling is available at St Mary’s in Melrose and Longridge Towers near Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Templeknowe is accessible from both the north and south. Edinburgh, lying 40 miles to the north, has an international airport and an intercity rail service, while Berwick-upon-Tweed, 32 miles to the east, has a mainline station (current journey time to London approximately 3 hours 40 minutes). The Borders railway to Edinburgh has its terminus at Tweedbank, just outside Melrose.
