The Goldings, South Renton, Grantshouse, TD11

The Goldings is an interesting and highly deceptive period home; offering accommodation over three floors, the property offers a particularly versatile interior with a number of the rooms lending themselves to different uses depending on preference, therefore offering the ability to adapt to different needs and the ever changing demands of family life. Occupying a particularly generous plot with an extensive woodland edge garden extending to the rear this property really does offer an excellent lifestyle opportunity; the grounds lend themselves to those looking to grow vegetables, keep chickens or simply seeking to create a wonderful environment for young family. Whilst the interior of the cottage is presented in good order The Goldings still presents plenty of exciting opportunities for a purchaser to add their own stamp and carry out upgrades and changes to suit their own specification. There is obvious scope to the rear of the building for further extension and the addition of a garden room or such like would really change the dynamics of this property and would create a wonderful link between the interior and exterior spaces.

The location of The Goldings is ideal for those seeking a rural setting whilst retaining easy travel connections to Edinburgh or further South, with the A1 trunk road and local rail connections at nearby Reston and Dunbar offering good options for the commuter.
