The property
Positioned towards the edge of Greenlaw, Trappers Cottage commands a superb open outlook to the front in a southerly direction. This semi detached property is particularly attractive; the solid stone exterior and picket fence frontage offer plenty of charm and character - a quintessential chocolate box cottage, perfect either as a main home, weekend retreat or holiday let. The cottage boasts a great area of garden to the side- perfect for a gardening enthusiast or as a secure family friendly environment, but in addition to that the property also benefits from a garage to the rear with double opening vehicular door and very useful attic floor storage.

Accommodation
The mains rooms within the cottage all benefit from the sunny southerly aspect and open views. The lounge is a traditional room of good proportions and features an open coal fire set into a feature fireplace with recesses to either side. The staircase extends from the rear of the lounge and a small front hall gives access from the front entrance door. A central hall connects the lounge and kitchen which is fitted with a good range of quality wood units and natural stone tiled flooring. Usefully there is a shower room on the ground floor as well as a small utility area/rear hall with external door from the garage area. The upper floor hosts two particularly bright double bedrooms; the master is a lovely traditional room with exposed original floor boards, windows to two sides and great built in storage, whilst bedroom two lies next door to the upstairs bathroom.

External
To the side of the cottage lies a good area of private garden; enjoying sun for most of the day and a super southerly outlook, this cottage garden has lots of potential and with some further landscaping it could easily be transformed to its former glory – ideal for a garden lover or those looking to create a secure family friendly environment. The area immediately to the side and rear of the cottage is a shared gravelled area with the adjoining cottage. Off this area there is access to the garage which is a great space; double doors allow vehicular access into the garage if desired and the upper floored section is ideal for storage. The garage has light and power so could easily be used as an additional utility space if desired. There is also a useful outhouse to the rear of the cottage. Opposite the cottage there is currently an older style timber garage which could make way for an area of private parking if preferred.
