Carfrae Farm Cottage, Lauder, TD2

A charming family home offering an enviable countryside position, 2 Carfrae Farm Cottages enjoys the best of both a scenic setting and easy access to amenities, catering ably for modern buyers and providing a serene slice of Scottish living. The extended stone built cottage is exceptionally adaptable; hosting a choice of public space, four bedrooms and a super wrap around garden.

With a garden frontage and parking bay, the main entrance is gently elevated, allowing pleasant outlooks over the neighbouring fields. The main entrance opens to the original cottage, with a wonderful lounge set to the front with feature window giving a dual aspect, and an open fire. The family dining kitchen sits quietly to the rear, and is a super social space with an open plan feel and sliding doors directly to the garden. The extension then opens off to a hallway; providing access to a useful utility room, a family bathroom and a bright garden room. A spiral stair from the garden room opens to a fantastic master suite, with a wonderful aspect, generous proportions to include a dressing area, and potential to create a study area or ensuite on this level. From the front hall, two comfortable ground floor bedrooms and a family shower room lead off to the opposite side, with a further study and guest room to the far end. A fitted stair then extends to the first floor, currently utilised as a large hobby and storage space, but also lending itself as a further double bedroom. The outdoor space is a fantastic complement to the accommodation; the generous wrap around plot secures absolute privacy, backing onto grazing land to the rear and with excellent potential for further cultivation or landscaping. A parking bay to the side allows for off street parking, again with potential for a carport. Useful stone built outhouses to the rear of the garden are ideal as workshop space and storage, with a timber summerhouse adjacent.

Location

The property sits on a quiet country road just 4 miles from Lauder and 1 mile from Oxton, surrounded by beautiful Borders landscape.
