Sitting room, dining room/bedroom 3, kitchen, conservatory.

GARDEN AND GROUNDS
On the east side of Brockhoperig is an area of garden ground that has been mown and is a lovely area to sit out. To the west of the house is another lawn and beyond that the grounds are interspersed with mature deciduous and conifer tress. The property benefits from Riparian trout fishing rights on the Ettrick Water.
Opposite the cottage are the buildings and field. The detached stone building was probably built as a byre and has been maintained and is predominantly weather proof. At one time the byre was used to house cattle and many of the original fittings are still in place. The building offers an excellent opportunity for further development subject to the relevant planning consents. Beside the Byre is a useful corrugated sheet clad storage shed.
The field extends to about 4.9 acres (1.98 ha).and is predominantly bordered by wire fencing.
