Cottage for sale in Kelso TD5, 2 Bedroom

This quintessential postcard pretty stone built cottage enjoys some of arguably the best outlooks in this area. Due to the slightly elevated position, the cottage enjoys a fantastic open aspect over the adjoining countryside with the Eildons and Peniel Heugh Monument in the distance. Located just outside Morebattle and within only a few miles of Kelso, this cottage provides the best of both worlds for those looking for a country setting but with local amenities and schooling within reasonable reach. The accommodation has clearly been very well maintained and offers good proportions with some scope for general modernisation to certain elements if desired. There is plenty of space externally for those that enjoy gardening, but equally plenty of possibilities for further extension if required with the provision already in place for a conservatory off the kitchen.
