The property

‘West End Cottage’ is superb and truly deceptive property which, from first impressions may be rather unassuming but opens up to the rear into a lovely bright and airy two storey extension which makes the most of the fabulous outlooks over the south facing gardens. Enjoying a lovely spot within this popular and established Berwickshire village the accommodation is immaculately presented and offers an excellent blend of traditional and modern styling with features including an impressive inglenook fireplace in the lounge, not to mention the large family dining kitchen to the rear which really is the hub of the home. The garden grounds are a real delight; due to the south facing aspect they enjoy sun throughout the day and the established borders and boundary ensure excellent privacy. A large paved patio extends off the double doors from the kitchen and provides a sheltered, alfresco dining area with lawned garden extending beyond. A gated access to the side leads onto the private area of parking with space for two or three vehicles and with the detached garage lying beyond.
