About this listing

An immaculately presented two-bedroom house, which has been thoughtfully upgraded and altered over the years to create a well-maintained and comfortable home. The property benefits from a clever layout, with the former external outbuildings having been converted by a previous owner to create a spacious kitchen. This has allowed the original kitchen to be transformed into a separate dining room. The bright and generously proportioned living room stretches across the width of the house and features a large front-facing window, a modern electric inset fire and French doors opening onto the rear patio, creating a pleasant and versatile space for both relaxing and entertaining. Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms along with a modern family bathroom, complete with a bath with shower over. Further benefits include ample storage, quality double glazing, installed in 2022, and oil-fired central heating. The property is offered in walk-in condition and requires little immediate attention, while still providing the new owners with scope to add their own personal style and make the home their own. LOCATION Set in a small cul-de-sac within the village of Chirnside which offers a selection of local amenities including pubs, a co-op, newsagents, post office, garage and pharmacy also offering a range of recreational facilities including tennis court, football pitches, bowling, running and boxing clubs.
