We have recently purchased this property from Sheila Pearson, who previously rented out this property on Ownersdirect. I live in the Village of Stichill (which is around 25 miles from Melrose) with my wife and 2 children (Emma is 12 and Matthew 9) I am originally from Kelso, close by to Stichill and this is also where I work. My hobbies include cycling and running.
