3 Bedroom Detached House

OPEN VIEWINGS MONDAY 25TH MAY 1.30pm - 3.30pm
Hawthornbank is a detached cottage set just off the roadside on the A708 to Moffat in a rural but not isolated location within the heart of the beautiful Yarrow Valley, just 8 miles or so away from St Marys Loch and approximately 11.5 miles from the bustling Borders town of Selkirk. The property requires renovation and upgrading throughout but has great potential and scope to extend/reconfigure; subject to investigation and necessary planning consents. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, and the large adjoining store includes wooden stairs leading up into Bedroom One, plus it backs onto the stone built garage. Once improved upon this could make for a delightful country home, whether for permanent or occasional use, whilst the fantastic countryside location could make it a very good holiday let prospect.

The rural location will appeal to those seeking a quieter lifestyle, and there are many attractions on hand for those with an interest in walking and country pursuits. The town of Selkirk can be reached by car in around twenty minutes and provides a good range of facilities catering well for every day needs, including one off shops and cafes/coffee shops, small restaurants and a modern Co-op. Recreational amenities include a swimming pool/leisure centre, cricket pitch, golf course and rugby ground.

The accommodation comprises: three double bedrooms (one of which is off another), a large sitting room with two fireplaces, a very spacious kitchen and a downstairs bathroom. There is oil fired heating, with the boiler located in the store room.

Externally, parking is catered for by an off road parking area to the side along with an adjoining stone built garage. The front is screened by a low fence and a path extends around the side and to the rear, where there is further raised garden.
