Catch-a-Penny Cottage is a compact, characterful 19th-century stone home offering authentic rural living just outside Town Yetholm. The detached, Category C listed cottage retains historic features—low ceilings, stone walls and a wood‑burning stove—combined with practical spaces including a dining kitchen, two double bedrooms and an upstairs bathroom.
The house sits in a large terraced rear garden with level patio and gated off-street parking, a rare combination for a property of this age. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and Kelso is about six miles away for fuller services, making the cottage well suited to someone wanting peaceful country life with practical connectivity.
Buyers should note the listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate future works. The property has oil-fired central heating and an EPC band E; running costs and any required energy upgrades are likely considerations. Internally the cottage is modest in scale with low ceilings and compact rooms, but presented in good decorative order and offering immediate occupancy with scope to enhance the garden or workshop area.
Overall, this is a tasteful, historically rich home for purchasers who value period character and outdoor space, and who accept the maintenance and regulatory responsibilities that come with listed rural properties.
