Summary - THE FOALING SHED, CARDRONA, INNERLEITHEN EH44 6PS
Detached stone bungalow in peaceful Old Cardrona hamlet
Set in the peaceful hamlet of Old Cardrona, The Foaling Shed is a charming two-bedroom detached stone bungalow with generous mature gardens and broad countryside views. Converted in the 1970s from former estate buildings, the single-level layout offers comfortable living of about 1,001 sq ft, easy access to walking and recreational routes, and private parking with scope to erect a garden studio or garage where a former outbuilding stood.
Inside, the home blends traditional character with practical comforts: triple-aspect sitting room with a multi-fuel stove, a vaulted dining room with exposed stone and second stove, two double bedrooms (one with ensuite), and a well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances. Good mobile signal and fast broadband make the property workable for occasional remote tasks, while the multi-fuel stove feeds radiators and hot water for off-grid-style living.
Buyers should note a few material points. Services are a mix of private water and drainage with mains electricity and LPG for the hob; heating is dependent on the multi-fuel stove plus an immersion heater. The Energy Performance Certificate is currently E (47) with potential to improve; council tax is band E and relatively high. The local area is classified as remoter and very deprived, so public services and amenities are limited compared with urban locations.
This cottage will appeal to anyone seeking a secluded rural retreat or a low-level single-storey home with scope for modest improvement. Early viewing is recommended — a closing date has been set for Monday 15th September at 12 noon, so interested buyers should factor timing into their plans.
