Church Cottage, Kirkgate, Chirnside, Scottish Borders

Nestled down a quiet lane, this charming two-bedroom cottage offers a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. Originally forming part of the neighbouring house, it was thoughtfully converted into a separate dwelling over 20 years ago. Behind its picture-perfect, chocolate-box exterior lies a surprisingly spacious interior, featuring a generous kitchen/dining room, bathroom which has a bath with shower over, and a cosy lounge with a multi-fuel stove and French doors opening directly onto the delightful cottage garden. Upstairs, accessed via stairs from the lounge, are two bedrooms, a separate WC, and useful eaves storage. While the property would benefit from some cosmetic updating and modernisation, it presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to create a beautiful home tailored to their own style and taste. Full of character and potential, this charming cottage is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat in an idyllic setting.
