Character cottage with large garden and garage — renovate to improve energy efficiency..
End-terrace stone cottage on approx. 0.20 acre plot
A characterful stone-built end-terrace cottage set on about 0.20 acre, offering generous outdoor space and traditional rooms suited to countryside living. The house has two double bedrooms, sitting and dining rooms, kitchen, utility, summerhouse, polytunnel, detached garage and private off-street parking — strong for buyers who prioritise space and a garden.
The property is traditional in construction (pre-1900) and retains period charm, but it needs energy upgrades and some modernisation. The EPC is Band F and external walls are assumed uninsulated; heating is by an LPG boiler and radiators. Double glazing was installed from 2002 onwards which helps but further insulation and energy works would reduce running costs.
Located a short drive from Cornhill-on-Tweed village (shop, hotel/bar/restaurant) with Coldstream and Berwick accessible, it suits people seeking quiet rural life with fast broadband and very low local crime. Note there is a clause prohibiting use as a holiday let, and the wider area shows signs of economic deprivation — factor this into resale or rental plans.
Overall this is a roomy, character cottage for buyers who want a sizeable private garden and are willing to invest in energy and cosmetic improvements to unlock its full potential.
