Thistle Cottage, Oldhamstocks, Cockburnspath, Berwickshire, TD13 5XN

The property

Lying in a tranquil yet-well connected village in the picturesque East Lothian countryside, this detached cottage presents the perfect blend of country-cottage charm and contemporary living. Boasting bright and spacious accommodation over two floors, the cottage incorporates four double bedrooms, immaculate, stylish interiors, magnificent countryside views, extensive, beautifully maintained gardens, a detached single garage and a driveway. The home is heated by an energy saving air-source central heating system which comes with an appealing government incentive. Set back from the road behind a walled garden, the front door opens into a welcoming hallway housing a handy storage cupboard. To the right of the hall lies an exceptionally spacious, southwest-facing living room. Fitted with handsome solid-wood flooring, this wonderful reception room offers excellent scope for a variety of furniture layouts and enjoys fantastic countryside views through a large picture window. A homely log-burning stove creates a charming focal point and a cosy atmosphere during the colder months. Next door, a contemporary, double-aspect dining kitchen (with garden access) also enjoys a tranquil, countryside outlook. An excellent range of stylish grey cabinets accentuated by chic copper finishings and framed by a spacious, solid-wood worktop lines one side of the room, leaving ample space for a table and chairs for seated dining and entertaining. A selection of integrated appliances includes an eye-level electric oven, a sleek ceramic hob and a gleaming chimney-style cooker hood and an American-style fridge freezer and an under counter washing machine are also included. The ground floor houses two of the property's four double bedrooms. Both bedrooms enjoy crisp-white décor supplemented with comfortable carpeting and the front-facing bedroom boasts a fabulously sunny aspect, whilst the rear-facing bedroom enjoys leafy garden views. Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a wet room, comprising a shower, a WC-suite and a towel radiator. Upstairs, a landing provides space for furniture to create a cosy reading nook and leads to two beautifully-presented bedrooms. Both bedrooms stretch the entire depth of the property and are double-aspect, with the rear-facing windows boasting far-reaching countryside views. The master bedroom has the added luxury of its own immaculate, four-piece en-suite bathroom, comprising a bathtub, a large corner shower enclosure, a WC-suite and a towel radiator. Energy-saving air-source central heating (with an appealing government incentive) and double glazing throughout ensure a warm and economically-run home all year round. Externally, the wonderful home is surrounded by delightful, lovingly-maintained garden grounds incorporating a patio, extensive, manicured lawns, walkways and two handy sheds. Superb private parking is provided by a detached single garage and a large, gated driveway. All appliances are sold as seen and although we believe them to be in working order, no guarantee can be given in this respect. Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window blinds, bedroom curtains, integrated kitchen appliances, fridge freezer and washing machine to be included in the sale. Cottage is 3rd on the left *
