This two-bedroom detached cottage is a traditional stone-built residence that has a sought-after setting by the River Tweed in the idyllic village of Walkerburn. The southerly-facing property offers bright and spacious rooms, as well as private gardens. Plus, it has inspiring river views from the front of the home. It is within easy reach of open countryside, in addition to Walkerburn’s amenities, transport links, and primary school. Whilst buyers may find it beneficial to apply modern upgrades to certain areas of the property, it remains an outstanding opportunity for anyone seeking a picturesque semi-rural lifestyle.

The home is nestled behind a private front garden and a vast communal green, set beside the River Tweed. The front door opens into a central hall, providing understairs storage and a walk-in cupboard. The living room is on the left, offering spacious dimensions for comfortable lounge furniture. It is brightly illuminated by south-facing windows, and is framed by a focal-point fireplace set beside a display alcove. Also enjoying a south-facing aspect, the dining kitchen is a light-filled space with a generous footprint to accommodate a table and chairs. It is well-appointed with base and wall-mounted cabinets and worktop space, housing room for freestanding appliances. A separate utility room provides a quiet area for laundry and access to the rear garden. Meanwhile, a three-piece family bathroom with mosaic tiling completes the ground floor. Upstairs, a naturally-lit landing offers a built-in cupboard before connecting to the two double bedrooms. Both bedrooms are fronted by south-facing dormer windows and both enjoy delightful views over the communal green and river. In addition, they have spacious proportions, as well as appealing neutral décor and stripped wooden floorboards. The principal bedroom further benefits from built-in storage and a three-piece en-suite shower room. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort.

Outside, the home has a low-maintenance front garden and a fully-enclosed rear garden, the latter laid to lawn with mature planting and trees. Parking in the area is on street and unrestricted.
