Summary - GREENHEAD COTTAGE, 67, LEITHEN ROAD EH44 6HY
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Two-bedroom traditional stone bungalow, approx. 725 sq ft
Greenhead Cottage is a traditional mid‑19th century stone bungalow offering compact, single‑storey living in the heart of Innerleithen. The two-bedroom layout (approx. 725 sq ft) retains period character — stone elevations, slate roof and a cosy sitting room with a focal stove surround — while sitting on a mature, well‑stocked plot with paved terraces for outdoor dining and sheltered garden corners.
The property is presented for modernisation and offers clear scope to upgrade kitchens, bathroom and decoration to suit modern standards. Services include gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and FTTP availability, though current broadband speeds are reported slow. The EPC is E (47) with potential to improve to C (79) if renovated.
Practical points: the cottage is in the Innerleithen conservation area (not listed), sold freehold, and benefits from a private garden and an attached outhouse for storage. On‑street parking is available only on Leithen Road. The town centre, riverside walks and world‑class mountain biking trails are all within walking distance, making the location attractive for countryside lovers and weekend visitors.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the property needs renovation throughout and internal finishes will require investment. The wider area records higher deprivation, which may influence local services and market comparables. Early viewing is recommended for buyers seeking a character cottage to renovate or a downsizer wanting one‑level living close to local amenities and outdoor recreation.
