Description

The Gamekeeper’s Cottage is nestled in the wonderful Berwickshire countryside. The cottage is a charming and characterful three-bedroom detached home offering a perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern living. This cosy cottage provides a rare opportunity to reconnect with nature in a peaceful and private setting.

Set within approximately one acre of mature gardens, the cottage is approached via a private driveway with space for two to three vehicles.

Inside, the rooms are well proportioned with stylish and comfortable living spaces throughout.

The cottage offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with accommodation that flows effortlessly from one space to the next. There are three generously sized double bedrooms, each enjoying views of the surrounding countryside, creating a peaceful retreat for restful living.

The heart of the home is the relaxing family sitting room, where an open fireplace adds a cosy touch, perfect for unwinding on cooler evenings.

The dining area, positioned within the kitchen, offers comfortable seating and space. It is also accessed via patio doors that open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood in.

Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom, providing all the essentials for modern country living.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight. The lawns are well maintained with some mature shrubs and trees, while the sides offer a more natural setting. A large shed assists with the storage of garden equipment. Attached to the cottage is a single car garage and located to the left side of the kitchen is a very useful carport, a great help when you have inclement weather to hang clothes, store items or unload the car.

The Gamekeeper’s Cottage is a rare find: a home that combines timeless charm with modern touches, all set in one of the most picturesque areas of the Scottish Borders.
