Characterful 2-bed cottage with new boiler, garden, garage and scope to extend.
Stone cottage with traditional character and open fireplace
Set in a peaceful agricultural setting near Kelso, this two-bedroom semi-detached cottage combines period character with recent practical upgrades. A brand-new oil boiler (2025) and full-fibre broadband (speeds up to 500Mb) bring modern reliability to traditional stone walls and an open fireplace in the sitting room. The hand-painted kitchen has quality cabinetry, integrated appliances and generous worktop space, making it ready for everyday use.
Upstairs offers two well-proportioned bedrooms and a recently fitted bathroom with a walk-in shower. At about 819 sq ft overall, the accommodation is an average size for a cottage of this type — comfortable but limited if you need extensive living space. There is clear potential to extend subject to planning, which will appeal to buyers wanting to add value or adapt the layout.
Outside, mature gardens with a pond, cherry and apple trees and a vegetable plot create a private, productive outdoor space that will suit gardeners and nature lovers. A single garage and ample parking add practicality. The property sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood within an agricultural community, offering direct countryside walks and wide panoramic views.
Important practical notes: the EPC is rated D and the area is recorded as very deprived, which may affect resale or mortgage options for some buyers. The pond and mature planting require regular maintenance. Overall, this cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful, move-in-ready rural home with scope to improve and extend rather than those needing a low-maintenance or larger family house.
