Location

Set on the edge of the village of Gordon, a welcoming Borders village with a keen sense of community and an appealing rural setting, surrounded by rolling countryside and open farmland. Despite its peaceful atmosphere, the village is well connected to nearby towns, making it an attractive option for those seeking a balance between country living and everyday convenience. At the heart of the village are a range of local amenities including a traditional pub/cafe, village hall, nursery and primary school, all of which contribute to Gordon’s friendly and close-knit feel. The Community Woodland is a particular highlight, providing scenic walking routes and outdoor space for residents and visitors to enjoy throughout the year. The larger Borders towns of Kelso (8 miles) and Earlston (6 miles), together provide an excellent range of facilities including supermarkets, independent retailers, cafes, healthcare services, leisure facilities and a garden centre. Gordon also falls within the catchment area for the highly regarded Earlston High School, making it especially appealing to families. For commuters, Edinburgh is approx. 35 miles to the north, while the nearby Borders Railway station at Tweedbank, around 12 miles away, offers regular rail services to Edinburgh, enhancing accessibility to the city and beyond.
