The Gamekeeper’s Cottage is nestled in the wonderful Berwickshire countryside. The cottage is a charming and characterful three-bedroom detached home offering a perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern living. This cosy cottage provides a rare opportunity to reconnect with nature in a peaceful and private setting.

Set within approximately one acre of mature gardens, the cottage is approached via a private driveway with space for two to three vehicles.

The cottage offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with accommodation that flows effortlessly from one space to the next. There are three generously sized double bedrooms, each enjoying views of the surrounding countryside, creating a peaceful retreat for restful living.

The heart of the home is the relaxing family sitting room, where an open fireplace adds a cosy touch, perfect for unwinding on cooler evenings.

The dining area, positioned within the kitchen, offers comfortable seating and space. It is also accessed via patio doors that open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood in.

Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom, providing all the essentials for modern country living.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight. The lawns are well maintained with some mature shrubs and trees, while the sides offer a more natural setting. A large shed assists with the storage of garden equipment. Attached to the cottage is a single car garage and located to the left side of the kitchen is a very useful carport, a great help when you have inclement weather to hang clothes, store items or unload the car.

Location

The Gamekeeper’s Cottage is set in the beautiful rolling countryside of Berwickshire, just a short distance from the Border towns of Coldstream, Duns, and Kelso. Across the nearby English border are the towns of Berwick-upon-Tweed and Wooler, gateway to the Cheviots and Northumberland National Park.

The area offers excellent local services, including gp practices, dentists, pharmacies, and hospitals. The larger towns offer Primary and secondary education with some independent schools, including Longridge Towers.

The surrounding towns are lively and welcoming, with independent shops, cafes, restaurants, theatres, and supermarkets. Annual events such as the Jim Clark Rally in Duns, Melrose Book and Music Festivals, and Eyemouth’s seafood festival bring the community together throughout the year.

Outdoor opportunities are plentiful, from coastal paths and countryside walks like St Cuthbert’s Way and the Borders Abbeys Way, to excellent golf courses at Eyemouth, Goswick, and Berwick. The River Tweed offers superb fishing, and local cycling trails routes, attract riders and anglers from all over the world.
