Trows Cottage is a charming two-bedroom family home set in a large peaceful, private plot located 3 miles west of Kelso. The cottage boasts spacious accommodation over two principal floors. The ground floor offers a welcoming porch, a generous dining kitchen and a sitting room with central fireplace which opens directly into the bright conservatory showcasing gorgeous views over the garden and rolling countryside beyond.
The first floor comprises two spacious double bedrooms, a fully equipped family bathroom and two expansive storage cupboards.
Whilst in need of a degree of modernisation, Trows Cottage is an attractive family home offering flexible living spaces and a wonderful opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create a stunning property in a central Scottish Borders location.
The property has a large front lawn and private driveway with ample parking for several cars including a timber serviced double garage. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with a selection of mature shrubbery, the rear garden benefits from a large stone outbuilding which – once renovated – would make an excellent workshop or external home office.
