Renovated village home with riverside fishing rights and guest apartment.
- Newly renovated four-bedroom detached chalet-style home
Set on a generous corner plot in peaceful Ettrickbridge, this newly renovated four-bedroom detached chalet offers a contemporary rural lifestyle with thoughtful, high-quality finishes. Interiors are light and airy with high ceilings, exposed beams and a modern open-plan living area centred on an 8kW woodburner for cosy, efficient heating. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and the bathrooms were upgraded to a high specification.
Practicality is strong: a double garage with electric doors and power provides secure parking and workshop space, and a self-contained one-bedroom apartment above the garage gives flexible accommodation for guests, extended family or rental income. The garden wraps around the house with decking and landscaped borders, plus a private stretch of Ettrick Water with fishing rights.
The location suits buyers seeking countryside living and community life — the village offers a primary school, pub, church, village hall and local amenities. Note a few constraints: broadband speeds in the area are slow, the property sits in a remoter/agricultural community with limited local services, and council tax is high (Band F). Mobile signal is excellent, which helps remote working despite the broadband limit.
Overall this large, freehold family home combines immediate move-in condition and flexible living options with genuine rural charm. It will particularly appeal to buyers wanting ready-made accommodation with rental potential, anglers or those prioritising space and privacy in the Scottish Borders.
