A charming mid-terraced cottage set over three levels in the desirable village of Stow, this two-bedroom home combines traditional character with modern fixtures. The bright dining kitchen and sitting room with a wood-burning stove create warm, flexible living spaces, while the top-floor double bedroom offers a quiet retreat. A private, low-maintenance rear garden with lawn, raised beds and a generous patio provides outdoor space for entertaining.
Practical details suit downsizers or buyers seeking a semi-rural base with good transport links: Stow train station is around a 500-yard walk and the property lies about 25 miles from Edinburgh. The home benefits from double glazing, modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, included integrated appliances, and modest running costs with a low council tax band.
Be aware of the property’s compact footprint and village-cottage proportions: rooms are modest in size and the attic/top-floor bedroom has lower ceiling heights. Heating is electric, which may be less economical than gas, and the wider area is recorded as very deprived — buyers should check local services and long-term area plans. Some finishes and fittings are modern, but any buyer seeking larger gardens or extensive living space should note the limited external amenity.
Overall this freehold terraced house offers a characterful, well-presented base in a friendly community setting. It will appeal to downsizers, first-time buyers or investors wanting a manageable property with good access to the Borders and Edinburgh rail link, provided they accept the compact layout and modest outdoor footprint.
