One of the most appealing features of Priesthaughburn Cottage, is undoubtedly its location.  Situated around 6 miles from Hawick, the property sits in a beautiful part of the countryside with no immediate neighbours.  Views in every direction are of the unspoilt countryside and rolling hills and this property really does suit the purchaser who wishes to be that bit more rural.  The house is accessed via a bridge over the burn and offers parking for several vehicles.  The garden ground is laid mainly to lawn and is ideal for nature and wildlife enthusiasts.  Adjacent to the property are various outbuildings including a green house, log store, shed and large workshop/utility area with power and light.

The closest town to Priesthaughburn is Hawick (6 miles), known as the ‘Home of Cashmere.' Hawick is a wonderful town steeped in a sense of history and tradition, offering a multitude of varied attractions including the Borders Textile Towerhouse, Borders Distillery, cinema, Teviotdale Leisure Centre and Vertish Hill Golf Course. Famous for its proud rugby tradition, the town boasts a number of independent shops and bistros as well as larger supermarkets and excellent schooling, and is also the venue for the famous annual Common Riding and popular Summer Festival.  The area offers opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding and fishing, and the surrounding Borders towns are easily accessible, with the Borders railway only a 25-minute drive away.

Priesthaughburn Cottage is most easily accessed from the South end of Hawick via the A7.  Pass Newmill and over the bridge at Commonside.  Immediately after the bridge take the left hand turning for Northhouse and Priesthaugh.  Just after Priesthaugh Farm the road forks sharply to the right, follow this along passing a cottage on the right and then the roads goes down the hill to the right.  Priesthaughburn Cottage lies at the bottom of the hill over the bridge that provides access over the burn.
