The property

Located towards the edge of this quaint and extremely established Berwickshire village, Hilltop Cottage is a beautifully traditional and charming detached property; originally thought to be two separate dwellings and with its white washed exterior and red pantile roof, the cottage really does grab your attention. Although one of the main selling points is not at all apparent from first impressions; the large orchard style garden at the rear is a super feature, wonderfully peaceful with little to be heard other than birdsong. For those seeking space and tranquillity Hilltop offers that in abundance whilst still benefitting from a pleasant village setting which has excellent links to Edinburgh, particularly with the new station at Reston only a few miles distant. The interior does now offer opportunities for upgrading and modernisation; a wonderful prospect for those seeking to create a fabulous forever family home in the heart of the Berwickshire landscape.

To the foot of the garden is a timber shed with store/potting area. Beyond the gardens is open farmland with views as far as the eye can see. A detached timber garage lies to the side with gated access at the rear of the cottage opening to a gravelled parking area.
