Summary - 1 BIRKENSIDE FARM COTTAGES, EARLSTON TD4 6AR
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Semi-rural cottage with extensive south-west gardens and private parking, commutable to Edinburgh.
Immaculate two-bedroom single-storey cottage with character features
A charming two-bedroom cottage set in an attractive semi-rural spot three miles north of Earlston, offering deceptively spacious single-level living and generous, well-tended south-west facing gardens. The layout includes a sitting room with multi-fuel stove, breakfasting kitchen, garden room, office area, bathroom with overhead shower and a useful floored attic accessed by ladder — good storage for a property of this size.
Outside is a standout feature: extensive, varied garden grounds with lawn, colourful borders, terraced entertaining areas, a summer house and greenhouse, plus private off-street parking. The position is convenient for commuters: A68 access and the Borders Railway at Tweedbank put Edinburgh within reach while local towns, amenities and strong primary/secondary schooling in Earlston serve everyday needs.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators and the glazing was fitted before 2002. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s with timber-frame elements and only partial insulation assumed — the EPC is D62. Drainage services include a shared septic tank. These factors mean buyers should allow for running costs and consider insulation, heating upgrade or glazing replacement to improve efficiency.
Overall this cottage will suit buyers seeking characterful, low-density living with substantial garden space — ideal for families wanting outdoor room, those downsizing who still need storage, or buyers prepared to invest modestly to improve energy performance.
