Full of history and fabulous fixtures and fittings, the quaint, yet quirky internal accommodation comprises: Diamond shaped entrance vestibule with decorative tiled floor and a feature arched window. A glazed door leads through to the warm and welcoming sitting room which is of a semi-circular shape and boasts original features including timber window shutters, and an open working fire giving the room a real focal point. Open to the sitting room and leading through to the formal dining room is a cosy snug, ideal for use as a home study or dining area. Positioned to the rear, the charming dining room is of a generous size and features a dual aspect with windows to the side and rear, providing views over the established garden. The dining room could easily be partitioned to create a large second bedroom if needed. Positioned in the centre of the home, the kitchen has recently been upgraded to an excellent standard and features a range of stylish wall and base units with contrasting worktops incorporating a modern style Belfast sink unit. Quality integrated items include a gas hob, electric oven, and a dishwasher, whilst space and services are provided for a washing machine and a fridge freezer. Adjacent to the sitting room and replicating the semi-circular shape is the delightful bedroom which is of a good size and enjoys original features including window shutters and an open working fire. The bedroom also features a sizable walk-in dressing room featuring original quatrefoil windows and generous fitted wardrobes. The dressing room could equally be used as a nursery, or a home study. A rear hallway open to the kitchen provides access out to the private rear garden, and to what completes the accommodation of this fabulous cottage, the modern and upgraded bathroom which incorporates a WC, wash hand basin, panelled bath, and a sizeable walk-in shower. Twin rear facing windows fill the bathroom with natural light.
Externally; the charm continues with private garden ground to the side and rear of the property which offers superb hilltop views over the wonderful Tweed Valley. A driveway to the side provides off-street parking and leads to the private and enclosed rear garden. Mainly laid to lawn, the rear garden is of an extremely generous size and enjoys a paved area perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining in the summer months. There is an array of planted areas and rockeries full of mature shrubbery, flowers, bushes, and trees which provide the most tremendous bursts of colour through spring and summer. There is an external water tap, and power point and the garden is fully enclosed by fencing, hedging and traditional stone walling.
There is ample space within the rear garden for further extension of the property subject to the necessary planning consents.
