Myrtle Cottage, Main Street East End, Chirnside, Scottish Borders

Originally purchased as a charming one-bedroom cottage, this exceptional terraced home has been thoughtfully transformed by the current owner into a comfortable two-bedroom, two-bathroom property which has been carried out in a sympathetic manner retaining many features and the addition of cottage style latch and lever braced doors. The renovation included the acquisition of part of the neighbouring cottage, together with a substantial rear extension, creating a spacious and beautifully designed home. The accommodation now comprises a stylish kitchen/dining room, comfortable living room, bright conservatory, two well-proportioned bedrooms and two contemporary bathrooms. The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, double glazing throughout, and is presented in excellent decorative order. The true highlight of this wonderful home lies to the rear, where the south-facing garden enjoys breath-taking views, providing an idyllic setting to relax and make the most of its enviable sunny aspect.

EXTERNALLY
A particular feature of Myrtle Cottage is the magnificent south-facing rear garden, enjoying what is undoubtedly one of the finest outlooks in Chirnside. Accessed directly from the conservatory, the garden forms a seamless extension of the living space and provides an idyllic setting for relaxing, entertaining and al fresco dining. Neatly maintained, the garden is laid predominantly to generous lawns, complemented by well-stocked borders, mature hedging and established planting, creating an attractive and private outdoor environment. A mature palm-style tree provides a striking focal point, adding an almost tropical character in the sunshine, while a useful garden shed provides practical storage. Beyond the garden lies a truly breath-taking panorama across the rolling Berwickshire countryside, stretching south towards England and the iconic Cheviot Hills. The uninterrupted rural views are exceptional, providing an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons and an enviable sense of space, privacy and tranquillity. Combining a superb southerly aspect with sunshine, privacy and spectacular scenery, this outstanding garden is undoubtedly one of Myrtle Cottage’s most compelling features.
