Step into a traditional three-bedroom semi-detached cottage set in the peaceful village of Cousland, a short drive from the A1 and within commuter distance of Edinburgh. The interiors combine period charm with practical updates: a bright living room with a multi-fuel stove, a Shaker-style dining kitchen with integrated appliances, and hardwood flooring throughout. The property benefits from double glazing and electric heating for straightforward, low-maintenance comfort.
Outside, the enclosed low-maintenance garden enjoys far-reaching countryside views and includes a timber deck, patio areas, greenhouse and a large powered shed — ideal for gardeners or hobbyists. Unrestricted on-street parking sits directly outside, and there is potential to extend into the loft for an additional bedroom and sea views, subject to necessary permissions.
This home will suit couples, small families or those downsizing who value village life with easy access to the city. Practical buyers should note the single three-piece bathroom and electric heating system; while efficient, buyers wanting gas central heating or additional bathrooms would face upgrade costs. The property is offered chain-free and priced £10,000 below the home report valuation for a quick sale.
Occupying a rural setting within a very deprived area classification, the cottage offers tranquillity and community amenities — allotments, a smiddy, playground and village hall — but some local services are limited. Broadband is fast and mobile signal average, supporting home working with few compromises.
