A stone-built three-bedroom cottage set in an elevated rural position with unspoiled countryside views. The house keeps strong period character — high ceilings, bay window and a Victorian stone façade — and sits on a generous front garden with a private rear yard and storage shed.
The property is sold freehold for £180,000 and requires full renovation throughout; utilities include mains water and electricity, with private drainage via a septic tank. Energy rating is F and there is only one bathroom plus a separate upstairs WC, so modernisation will be needed to meet contemporary family expectations.
Location is a major strength: under 3 miles from Norham village amenities and roughly 10 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed, yet tucked in remoter agricultural countryside ideal for a rural retreat or holiday let. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting remote working once renovated.
This cottage suits a buyer seeking renovation potential and countryside living — a family wanting a long-term home, or a buyer prepared to invest time and money to restore period features. Be aware of renovation costs, septic tank maintenance and the Energy Performance F rating when assessing overall budget.
