About
This charming mid-terraced cottage may appear modest from the street, but it opens into a beautifully maintained two-bedroom home with a wonderful sense of space and privacy.
Positioned to take full advantage of its south-facing aspect, the property enjoys some of the finest views in Chirnside, stretching across rolling countryside towards the Cheviot Hills.
Thoughtfully designed, the home offers privacy from the moment you step through the front door, with that feeling of seclusion continuing throughout the generous rear garden, which backs directly onto open agricultural land.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall leading to an inner hallway with useful storage and access to the rear garden.
The ground floor also features a bright living room with patio doors opening onto the garden, a well-equipped kitchen, and a bathroom.
On the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying outstanding countryside views, with one further benefiting from an en-suite WC.
The property is double glazed throughout and is heated by an electric combi-boiler system.
Location Lily Cottage sits on the southern side of the main thoroughfare through Chirnside, with some of the best views.
The village offers a small selection of local amenities including pubs, co-op, post office, garage and pharmacy and offers a range of recreational facilities including tennis court, football pitches, bowling, running and boxing clubs.
A striking art-deco primary school serves the village with secondary schools in Duns and Eyemouth. The village has a regular bus service to Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Duns, Eyemouth and Galashiels.
