This is a secluded stone built cottage in a rural setting, within a 500 acre estate, with an open view to the rolling Border hills beyond. Upgraded in recent years, it combines a traditional cottage feel with fashionable interior design within.
The cottage is accessible via a private estate road, which it sits in front of, with good open views. Inside, it has been fitted and equipped to a high standard. The accommodation consists of a sitting room with open fire and satellite TV/DVD, with comfortable sofas and chairs. Next door is the fully equipped kitchen with separate dining area, with seating for up to 6 people. There is one ground floor bedroom, which is a double room, whilst the family bathroom is next door. Upstairs are the other two bedrooms, with one being a double bedroom and the other a twin room. There is parking for 2 cars to the side, with further space nearby if required. In the summer months, garden furniture and a BBQ are available for use. Whilst there are no other houses visible nearby, there are other holiday houses on the estate, and residents are welcome to enjoy the woodland walks.
