2 Dykecroft Cottages is a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional semi-detached property with phenomenal gardens and private woodland area. The property is only a short drive from the historic village of Newcastleton and benefits from beautiful views of the rolling hills of the Borders.

The Accommodation

A concrete path leads up the front garden to the front door which opens to an entrance porch with second door welcoming you into the main hall. A large bedroom is located immediately on your left featuring pleasant views of the countryside. To the rear of the property is a second bedroom, slightly larger benefiting from a fitted corner cupboard.
