Set in the highly desirable coastal village of St Abbs, Ebba Cottage is a charming detached cottage that blends period character with practical family living. The property benefits from bright rooms, seaside outlooks and low-maintenance garden areas, making it equally attractive as a comfortable full-time home or a holiday retreat. Its detached garage and private driveway add useful parking and storage in a village where such space is rare.
Internally the layout is versatile: a front lounge with a traditional fireplace, an open-plan dining kitchen with adjoining utility, three double bedrooms and a modern shower room. An upper-floor room currently used as a guest bedroom provides flexible additional space suitable for a second sitting room, studio or home office. The house has been well maintained by the long-standing family owners but offers scope for upgrading and personalisation to modern tastes.
Practical matters are straightforward: solid fuel central heating, partial double glazing and mains services are in place, and there is no recorded flood risk. Notable negatives are the poor Energy Performance Certificate (rating F) and generally slow broadband speeds, which may affect anyone relying on high-speed internet. The property sits within a very deprived area classification locally, a factual context for buyers to consider alongside the village’s clear lifestyle attractions.
On balance Ebba Cottage will suit buyers seeking coastal character and a ready-to-enjoy home with room to update. It will particularly appeal to families wanting spacious rooms and a sheltered seaside garden, second-home purchasers seeking low-maintenance grounds, or investors exploring holiday-let potential in a sought-after fishing village.
