The property

September Cottage is a well-appointed, traditional Victorian cottage with accommodation arranged entirely on ground floor level. Having been extended to the rear to incorporate a lovely garden room, the interior is nicely proportioned with good levels of natural light. Benefitting from an established village position only a few miles from Kelso, this location is ideal for those looking for some peace and quiet whilst still within reasonable reach of amenities. The gardens to the rear are a delight, quite generous in size and benefitting from sheltered seating areas, planted beds and borders as well as a pleasant outlook over the adjoining farmland to the rear.

Benefitting from dual aspect windows to the front and side, the lounge is a lovely bright room of good proportions with traditionally high ceilings and a feature fireplace. Extending towards the rear of the cottage, the garden room has been a worthy addition and makes the very most of the private outlooks over the gardens which extend beyond. Fully glazed and with double doors connecting you directly to the garden, this room provides plenty of space for conservatory furniture or a sizeable dining table as it is currently dressed. The cottage kitchen has a window to the side and benefits from a good range of wooden wall and base units. Having been upgraded in recent years, the shower room is freshly presented with tiled walls and wet wall panelling. Fitted with a modern white suite incorporating a large walk in shower cubicle.
