Set at the end of a U-shaped courtyard in the scenic Scottish Borders, Smiddy Cottage is a stone-built two-bedroom home with extensive, private garden grounds and off-street parking. The sitting room is warm and welcoming with a multi-fuel stove and double-aspect windows framing wide countryside views. The kitchen and utility are practical for everyday living and the house is fully double-glazed.
The property’s standout asset is its external space: mature lawns, shrubs, several seating areas, a large detached garage, byre and additional outbuildings provide excellent storage, parking for several vehicles and scope for outdoor living. Adjoining the cottage is the historic Smiddy — a generous stone outbuilding with original features. With the relevant planning consent it could be converted to add substantial living accommodation.
Practical realities are straightforward and important to note: heating is by oil central heating, drainage is to a septic tank and the water supply is from a spring. The EPC rating is E. The location is rural and peaceful but remote; the nearest larger towns are Hawick and Jedburgh (around 9–10 miles). Broadband speeds are reported as fast, mobile signal average.
This home will suit buyers looking for spacious grounds, character and conversion potential rather than low-maintenance city living. It’s particularly appealing to families or buyers seeking a countryside retreat who are prepared to manage oil-fired heating, private drainage and any conversion planning for the smiddy.
