2 bed cottage for sale

Main Street East End, Chirnside TD11

This charming mid-terraced cottage may appear modest from the street, but it opens into a beautifully maintained two-bedroom home with a wonderful sense of space and privacy. Positioned to take full advantage of its south-facing aspect, the property enjoys some of the finest views in Chirnside, stretching across rolling countryside towards the Cheviot Hills. Thoughtfully designed, the home offers privacy from the moment you step through the front door, with that feeling of seclusion continuing throughout the generous rear garden, which backs directly onto open agricultural land. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall leading to an inner hallway with useful storage and access to the rear garden. The ground floor also features a bright living room with patio doors opening onto the garden, a well-equipped kitchen, and a bathroom. On the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying outstanding countryside views, with one further benefiting from an en-suite WC. The property is double glazed throughout and is heated by an electric combi-boiler system.

Accessed directly from the living room, the garden provides a seamless extension of the living space and a wonderful setting for relaxing, entertaining and al fresco dining. Beautifully maintained, the garden is laid predominantly to neat lawns with well-stocked borders, mature hedging and established planting, creating an attractive and private outdoor environment. A substantial mature tree provides a striking focal point and welcome shade during the summer months, while two useful garden sheds offer practical storage. Beyond the garden lies a truly breath-taking panorama across the Berwickshire countryside, stretching south towards the iconic Cheviot Hills. The uninterrupted rural views are exceptional, offering an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons and a rare sense of space and tranquillity.
