Summary - 8 BLYTHE FARM COTTAGE, U54-5 U51-5 NORTH EAST OF CAMBRIDGE TO BLYTHE FARMHOUSE TD2 6SJ
4 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious four-bedroom energy-efficient cottage with panoramic countryside views and large garage.
Detached four-bedroom cottage with principal bedroom on ground floor
Set in a peaceful hamlet five miles west of Lauder, 8 Blythe Farm Cottages is a spacious detached cottage blending traditional stonework with a contemporary extension. The house offers generous room sizes across 245 sq.m (2,608 sq.ft), with a ground-floor principal bedroom, three further bedrooms upstairs and three en-suite shower rooms. High-performance double glazing, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating provide energy-efficient comfort throughout the year.
The property sits in wrap-around lawned gardens with dry-stone walls, a large driveway and a double garage/workshop with mains power — ideal for hobbyists, parking and storage. Large windows and a galleried landing capture uninterrupted panoramic views to the surrounding countryside and the Cheviot Hills, making this a strong choice for buyers seeking rural tranquillity within commuting distance of Edinburgh.
Practical points to note: the home is served by private water and drainage rather than mains, and the location is categorised as remoter agricultural countryside — transport and services are limited locally, although mobile signal and broadband are good. The area is described as having higher levels of deprivation, and while the house is finished to a high standard, buyers should allow for routine maintenance of the extensive gardens and the stone exterior.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully converted farmhouse with contemporary comforts and substantial outdoor space. It will suit families or those wanting flexible living space who value energy efficiency, rural views and a generous garage/workshop, while accepting the trade-offs of a remote location and private services.
