2 Kimmerghame Mains Cottage, Duns, Berwickshire, TD11 3LU
Sale history
£135,000 in July 2018
The property
2 Kimmerghame Mains Cottages, Sinclairshill, lies only a few miles outside of Duns in a lovely semi rural yet accessible position. Originally a farm cottage, this stone built property was extended to incorporate a large dining kitchen to the rear with bedroom and bathroom over. The cottage itself offers surprisingly spacious accommodation and has been run for several years as a successful holiday let; whilst comfortable and well appointed, there is now some scope for general upgrading if desired. Externally there is an area of garden opposite the cottage as well as parking and a garage at the end of the terrace, making this cottage equally well suited either as a main or second home.
