Summary - 7 Rutherford Farm Cottage TD5 8NP
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful rural cottage with large garden—requires full modernisation..
South-facing cottage with expansive private garden
A traditional stone-built cottage set midway between Kelso and St Boswells, this two-bedroom terraced home offers a rare rural position with uninterrupted Border countryside views. South-facing and arranged over two storeys, the house benefits from a generous private garden and off-street parking — practical assets for family life and outdoor enjoyment.
The property has flexible accommodation (currently described as two/three doubles) and character features including exposed beams and a brick fireplace, but it requires a programme of upgrading throughout. Heating is by oil-fired boiler to radiators, the walls are assumed uninsulated sandstone/limestone, and the EPC is E — buyers should budget for energy efficiency improvements and cosmetic renovation.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband speeds, and a low Council Tax (Band B). Set in a quiet, ageing rural neighbourhood yet within short driving distance of Kelso’s shops, schools and amenities, this cottage suits a buyer wanting countryside living with good local connections. For those seeking a project with strong location value, the house offers scope to modernise, increase comfort and unlock long-term potential.
