The property

Rarely available two-bedroom detached stone cottage in the sought-after village of Gifford. The property is entered via a generous hall / sun room which boasts floor to ceiling windows on two sides. This leads to the lounge and open plan kitchen area. The lounge benefits from one south facing window and one west facing window, providing plenty of natural light to the room. The kitchen is also south facing and has a selection of base and wall units, dishwasher and electric stove. An inner hallway leads to a shower room which houses the washing machine, and two double bedrooms, both with built-in storage and one with additional velux window. Externally there is a pretty courtyard garden and single garage. Heating is by way of oil-fired central heating. The cottage would now benefit from some upgrading and offers scope to create a charming home.
