Recently restored period home with large garden and separate studio.
South-facing cottage with panoramic Cheviot Hills views
Croft Cottage is a charming, newly renovated two-bedroom period cottage set on a generous plot on Midlem village green. The house offers flexible living across about 1,442 sq ft, combining character features—exposed beams, wood-burning stoves and triple-aspect windows—with modern fixtures in both bathrooms and the kitchen. South-facing reception rooms and a large garden studio take full advantage of views to the Cheviot Hills and abundant daylight.
The extensive, well-planted gardens include specimen and fruit trees, deep herbaceous borders and a paved terrace for outdoor living. Internally there are three versatile reception rooms that could provide additional sleeping space, a useful utility room and contemporary fittings throughout following a careful restoration. Practical extras include electric car charging, good mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for remote working or running a small home business from the studio.
Buyers should note the cottage sits in a remoter, agricultural community and the wider area is classified as very deprived, so local services are limited; nearby towns such as Selkirk, Melrose and St Boswells are a short drive for wider amenities. The property is offered freehold with EPC D and a moderate council tax band. Ceiling heights in some rooms are standard to low, reflecting the traditional cottage proportions.
Overall this is an attractive option for buyers seeking a character-filled countryside home with modern comforts, generous outside space and workspace potential, provided they are comfortable with a remote village location and the practicalities that come with rural living.
