Set in a small, exclusive development midway between Coldstream and Duns, this two-bedroom barn conversion blends traditional stone character with modern, low-maintenance living. The open-plan family dining kitchen is the standout space, recently upgraded with high-quality integrated appliances, quartz-style worktops and a breakfast bar — ideal for entertaining or relaxed daily life. Large arched windows and a bi-folding garden-room connection maximise natural light and create a pleasant indoor-outdoor flow.
The layout suits downsizers or professionals seeking a countryside base with easy access to nearby towns. Accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a master en-suite, a contemporary family bathroom, and a useful cloakroom. The rear garden has been landscaped for minimal upkeep (artificial lawn and decking) and the detached garden room, with lighting and power, offers flexible use as a home office or hobby space. Private parking for two cars to the front adds convenience.
Buyers should note a few practical points: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the property uses private drainage. Mobile signal is average despite fast broadband availability. The home sits in a semi-rural, remoter community within a wider area classified as rural white-collar, and the local area shows higher levels of deprivation — factors to consider for long-term resale or rental prospects. Overall, this recently renovated, freehold cottage offers character, modern comfort and easy-to-manage grounds for those prioritising a peaceful countryside lifestyle.
