Coastal bungalow with sea views and endless potential in charming Cove

Set in the picturesque coastal village of Cove, Tigh Na Mara (which means house by the sea) is a detached three-bedroom bungalow with sea views, requiring refurbishment but full of potential to be transformed into a fantastic coastal home. Surrounded by wraparound gardens and located just a short walk to Cove harbour, this property offers peace, privacy, and an exciting opportunity to create something truly special.

The current accommodation is generously proportioned and begins with a spacious hallway offering excellent built-in storage. To the front, the sitting room takes full advantage of the property’s position with delightful views to the sea. To the rear, a large kitchen/dining area and a family room with doors to the rear garden. There are three well-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom completing the layout.

Externally, Tigh Na Mara offers generous outside space, with approximately one quarter of an acre, and plenty of potential. A large driveway to the front provides ample off-street parking, while the gardens wrap around the property, offering both privacy and scope for landscaping or redesign. A collection of outbuildings sits within the grounds; although requiring attention, they could be restored or redeveloped (subject to consents), offering further flexibility.

The property has benefited from some modernisation, including the installation of a new air source heat pump and solar panels—valuable upgrades that enhance its efficiency and future potential.

Tigh Na Mara presents a rare opportunity to reimagine a coastal bungalow with sea views, wraparound gardens, and modern energy-efficient upgrades already in place. With imagination and vision, this charming property could be transformed into a superb home in one of the Scottish Borders’ most sought-after seaside villages.
