Summary - Ruthven Cottage TD12 4JU
4 bed 3 bath Farm House
Substantial four-bedroom farmhouse with private south walled garden and outbuildings.
Large south-facing walled garden with paved patio
Ruthven Farmhouse is a substantial detached longhouse set in open countryside, with far-reaching views toward the Cheviots and a large south-facing walled garden. The house combines original sandstone character with a refreshed interior: broad south-facing windows, a generous living room and a modern kitchen with island make the ground floor bright and sociable. Four double bedrooms upstairs (principal with en-suite) suit a growing family or those needing guest/office space.
The grounds and outbuildings are a major asset. A paved patio off the living room, a summerhouse/bar and a Rhino greenhouse add leisure and hobby potential, while additional outbuildings include a home office. The fully enclosed garden offers privacy and secure outdoor space for children and pets, and the plot provides scope for further landscaping or small-scale horticulture.
Buyers should note the practical running details: main heating is LPG boiler and radiators, energy rating is E, glazing dates from before 2002 and the sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated — this will affect running costs and may require insulation or improvement works. Services include mains supplies and a septic tank. Council tax sits above average and the property is in a remoter, agricultural community outside Coldstream.
Location balances rural peace with accessibility: Coldstream is about three miles away with local shops, primary school and access to larger rail links at Berwick-upon-Tweed for commuting. This home suits families wanting countryside space and character who are prepared to invest in energy improvements and ongoing maintenance to fully realise the property’s potential.
