4 bed detached house for sale

Sylvendie, Old Cambus, Cockburnspath, Scottish Borders TD13

Elevated country living with spectacular coastal views and exceptional potential.

Set high within approximately three acres, Sylvendie is an impressive four-bedroom detached home enjoying rural tranquillity, far-reaching countryside and wonderful sea views. Built around 20 years ago, it offers generous, flexible accommodation, extensive gardens and an additional plot with lapsed planning permission for a further house.

Approached by a long driveway, the elevated position makes the most of the surrounding landscape and coastal views. A welcoming vestibule leads into a spacious hall with WC. The front-facing sitting room features a bay window with sea views, while double doors lead to the separate dining room. To the rear, the spacious kitchen offers ample dining space, fitted cabinetry and a Rangemaster cooker, with sliding doors to the garden. A separate utility room provides further storage and garden access. There are four well-proportioned double bedrooms on the ground floor, all with built-in storage. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while a spacious family bathroom with separate bath and shower completes this level.

Upstairs, the officially converted attic provides further flexible living space, with wonderful views and a striking gable-end picture window. It could be used as a sitting room or bedroom, with a large shower room allowing it to work well as a private suite.

Outside, the approximately three-acre grounds include generous front and rear gardens, predominantly laid to lawn, with a patio for outdoor dining and entertaining. A wooden gazebo with hot tub provides a wonderful place to relax, while the substantial multi-car driveway offers excellent parking. A single garage provides useful additional storage.

An additional plot within the grounds previously benefited from planning permission for a further dwelling, although this has now lapsed. Subject to the necessary consents, this offers further potential.

With its elevated position, spectacular outlooks, generous grounds and flexible accommodation, Sylvendie offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy and countryside living within easy reach of the coast and local amenities.
