A charming two-bedroom terraced cottage on Castle Street offering traditional character and a private rear garden. The bright living room, decent storage and gas central heating make the house immediately liveable while you plan improvements.
The property dates from the 1800s and is Category C listed, which preserves its historic features but will restrict certain alterations and may complicate planning and building works. The house requires full modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely deeper renovation — so it will suit someone prepared to invest time and money to upgrade systems, finishes and possibly reconfigure spaces (subject to consents).
Set close to the town centre with easy access to Duns Castle grounds and local amenities, this cottage is well placed for countryside walks and day-to-day convenience. Broadband speeds are slow locally, while mobile signal is excellent; council tax is low (Band A), making running costs affordable during renovation.
This home is well suited to a first-time buyer or investor looking for a period property with upside. Be aware of the Listed status and the refurbishment requirement: a pre-purchase survey and early planning checks are recommended before committing.
