About
Your peaceful countryside retreat awaits.
This charming two bedroom home offers the perfect opportunity for first time buyers, couples, or small families seeking a quiet, rural lifestyle with space to grow.
The ground floor features a spacious living room, perfect for relaxing after a long day or spending time with family and friends.
The separate modern kitchen offers plenty of room for everyday cooking. Upstairs, there are two good sized bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.
The main bedroom offers plenty of space, while the second bedroom could be used as a guest room, home office, nursery or children's bedroom.
Whilst well maintained, the property offers excellent potential for cosmetic upgrading, allowing the next owner to add value and put their own stamp on the accommodation.
Outside, the property enjoys a lovely countryside outlook, with open green fields and a real sense of space. A substantial, private rear garden provides plenty of space to relax or entertain.
Skirling is a pretty conservation village in the Scottish Borders, just 2.5 miles outside of Biggar. An ideal location for commuters also, being just an hours drive from Edinburgh and Glasgow.
