End-terraced stone cottage with traditional façade and sash windows
Yew Cottage is a characterful three-bedroom end-terraced stone cottage set in the conservation village of West Linton. The property retains period features such as sash windows, a Victorian bay, cornicing and a tiled open fireplace, with a welcoming sandstone façade and attractive powder-blue door. The flexible layout includes two public rooms, a ground-floor bedroom and a useful rear porch with garden access.
The enclosed cottage garden is a notable asset: sheltered lawn, patio, drying green and a timber shed offer outdoor privacy and easy maintenance. The house measures around 1,302 sq ft across multiple storeys, giving room for comfortable family living while offering scope to reconfigure or extend subject to consents. Mobile signal is excellent and the village provides a full range of amenities and primary school within walking distance; Edinburgh is within commuting reach.
The property needs renovation: kitchen, bathroom and the heating system require updating, and the energy performance is currently low (EPC F). Council tax is above average for the area. These factors make the cottage well suited to buyers seeking a renovation project with character or a family wanting to personalise a long-term home rather than someone seeking a move-in-ready property.
Overall, Yew Cottage will appeal to buyers who value period character, a private garden and village life and who are prepared to invest in modernisation to improve comfort, efficiency and resale value.
