Yopa is proud to offer this Stone Built Semi-Detached Period Cottage located within the hamlet of Polwarth. The property is situated within approximately 0.609 acres of mature gardens, detached garage and off street parking. Garden with potential for extension STPP

A splendid opportunity has arisen to acquire an outstanding stone fronted semi-detached cottage of immense charm and character, set within extensive mature gardens and located in the small Borders hamlet of Polwarth. The cottage, part of a former school, enjoys an idyllic setting overlooking some of the Borders finest open countryside and comes complete with what can only be described as a picture book private meadow with the obligatory babbling brook at the foot of the garden. Meticulous care has been taken to retain some of the period features wherever possible; the cottage boasts a wealth of natural materials including exposed stonework, whitewashed brickwork, ceiling beams, timber panelling and hardwood flooring. The interior has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the light and take advantage of the glorious garden views. There are two classically proportioned multi-functional rooms, each with a multitude of windows with attractive wrought iron detailing and working shutters. The Living kitchen has been fitted with a Rayburn which provides central heating by means of traditional radiators, with an ‘unfitted’ kitchen area along one wall which incorporates a display dresser. This room is comfortable and inviting and is large enough to accommodate a relaxing seating area and a dining table and seating for six with ease. The living room is also particularly versatile, having a multi fuel burning stove as an attractive focal point. This room falls naturally into leisure, study and could be used as an additional sleeping area. This room boasts elegant proportions and décor in rich earthy tones. The larger than average bathroom is a revelation – featuring a free standing roll top bath and exposed stone work to one wall. A fixed wooden ladder in the Living kitchen gives access to an light and spacious, centrally heated loft room with timber flooring and two Velux windows, which is used the main bedroom by the present owner. This area lends itself to further conversion, subject to the necessary consents being obtained. This charming cottage is steeped in character and may be perfect as a holiday home or as a tranquil haven for those seeking to escape from the frantic pace of modern life; an early viewing is essential to fully appreciate the unique qualities of this seldom available property

The property is located in the rural village of Polwarth, close to the popular Borders town of Duns. The area is steeped in exquisite natural beauty and offers much for the sporting enthusiast and nature lover alike: Hill walking, horse riding, bird watching and fishing to name but a few pastimes. Shopping, leisure and recreational facilities can be found at Duns, which can be accessed by car in just a little over five minutes. Primary and secondary schooling is also available at Duns, including the redesigned Berwick High School. Further amenities can be found at Berwick & Galashiels. For those coming from Edinburgh who are unfamiliar with the area, join the A68 and at the Carfraemill roundabout take the 1st exit on to the A697 (Coldstream), continue on this road, turning left at the B6456 ( Westruther & Duns); at the junction for Duns & Greenlaw take the Greenlaw road, turning left at the turnoff for Polwarth and the cottage is as signposted.
