The
Cottage is an exceptionally well renovated traditional stone built
property of tremendous character, offering particularly spacious
and bright accommodation which has been sympathetically decorated
in pleasant neutral tones, a most successful combination of many
original period features with a contemporary feel. It is set well
back from the road with ample off road parking, and benefits not
only from fantastic views both front and rear but also has a large
and very private back garden with an enclosed sheltered courtyard
patio. There is a recently constructed triple garage adjacent, possibly
offering the potential to provide additional accommodation - subject
to the necessary consents - with excellent roof height and reinforced
roof trusses.
LOCATION
Yetholm is a thriving rural community situated at the end of the
Pennine Way, with an excellent range of services available locally
including primary education, Doctor's surgery, filling station/garage,
butchers, shop, post office, licensed bar, public hall and playing
fields. The nearest town is Kelso, some seven miles distant, which
has good educational and sporting facilities and quality shops.
The local area has much to offer those interested in country pursuits
with Tweed fishing, National Hunt racing and walking in the Cheviot
Hills. Both Edinburgh and Newcastle, with their International airports,
are easily commutable within approximately one hour's drive, with
intercity rail connection available at Berwick upon Tweed some 23
miles distant.
DIRECTIONS
Travel south from Kelso on the B6352 Yetholm Road. On reaching Town
Yetholm, follow the road over the river into Kirk Yetholm, passing
