This two‑bedroom end‑terrace cottage sits on the edge of Stow, offering direct countryside views and straightforward road access to Galashiels (c.13 miles) and Edinburgh (c.20 miles). The property is presented as a renovation project: internal space is modest (c.81 sqm / c.872 sq ft) with original features such as a decorative fireplace, stripped floorboards and period joinery that will appeal to buyers who want to add value through upgrading.
Practical benefits include double glazing, a multi‑fuel stove and a small gated front garden. Broadband and mobile signals are reported fast and excellent respectively, and there is unrestricted on‑street parking. The layout provides a bright living room, kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms with built‑in storage on the first floor, making it a sensible starter home or countryside retreat after refurbishment.
Material works are required: the house needs modernisation and refurbishment including likely electrical and plumbing upgrades, redecoration and floor finishes. EPC rating noted as F and external condition appears average to below average; there may be visible patch repairs and damp‑related issues to investigate. The plot is modest and parking is on‑street only.
At the asking price of £105,000 this house represents a renovation opportunity for first‑time buyers, downsizers seeking a rural base, or investors prepared to take on a project. Factor in refurbishment costs and the local context when assessing resale timelines: the wider area is classed as very deprived, which may influence service availability and long‑term market performance.
