6 Auchencrow Mains Cottages, Auchencrow

Located part way between Auchencrow Village and Chirnside, this traditional white painted cottage offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking a home in the country. Positioned on the edge of a working farm, the cottage enjoys super open outlooks over the neighbouring farmland and a sunny south facing orientation. Having been used by the current owners as a regular second home, the cottage now offers exciting opportunities for those who may wish to carry out some cosmetic upgrading to suit their own specification. But the potential with this cottage doesn’t stop there; the sizeable detached stone bothy that lies in the rear garden offers endless possibilities; currently used as storage, it is serviced with water and drainage and with further development could provide a perfect dedicated work from home environment or even a self-contained granny annex/letting accommodation. This cottage offers a winning combination of country living and convenience; there is easy access to neighbouring towns and villages as well as being within only three miles of an East coast rail-line connection offering easy travel to Edinburgh, Newcastle and further South.

Accommodation Summary

Entrance Hall, Lounge, Kitchen, Rear Hall/Utility, Dining Room/Bedroom Four, Three Further Double Bedrooms (Master with En-Suite Shower Room) and Family Bathroom.

Accommodation

Enjoying the best of the sunny south facing outlook, the lounge is a well-proportioned traditional room with large windows and a feature open coal fire. Extending to the rear lies the kitchen with an aspect over the rear garden and a connecting door to the utility room/rear hall which in turn gives external access to and from the garden. Over the hall from the lounge lies the dining room and ground floor double bedroom; the dining room is a bright, sunny room, great for entertaining but could easily provide an addition bedroom if preferred. Bedroom three is a pleasant double room to the rear overlooking the garden with the family bathroom next door; fitted with a white suite including traditional cast iron bath.

The upper floor hosts two further double bedrooms each with a large rear facing velux window affording a lovely rural view. The master room also benefits from a en-suite shower room and built in wardrobe, with further storage located off the landing.

Detached Bothy

Located within the rear garden, the detached bothy is a real surprise and offers multiple uses depending on preference. Having been used primarily as storage, the bothy benefits from a water and drainage connection plus electric heating. Currently fitted with a small kitchenette and shower room/WC, further development could create a wonderful studio, dedicated home office of perhaps a self-contained annex for letting purposes or to cater for multi-generational living.
