Hawthornbank is a detached cottage located in the picturesque Yarrow Valley, not far from the A708 to Moffat. This property is nestled within a rural yet accessible setting, approximately 11.5 miles from Selkirk and around 8 miles from St Marys Loch, offering an appealing retreat for those seeking tranquility. The cottage presents a substantial renovation opportunity throughout, with the potential for reconfiguration and expansion, subject to necessary planning permissions. The interiors are spacious, featuring three double bedrooms (including one accessed through another), a large sitting room complete with two fireplaces, a generous kitchen area, and a downstairs bathroom. An adjoining store room contains the oil-fired heating boiler which could be modernized.
Externally, there’s convenient off-road parking alongside a stone garage that complements the property. The front yard is bordered by a low fence, leading to further garden space at the rear. Following renovations, this cottage could serve as an ideal family home or even be transformed into a lucrative holiday let due to its appealing location surrounded by outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing in St Marys Loch.
While Selkirk offers essential amenities within a twenty-minute drive, including shops and recreational facilities like a swimming pool and golf course, the locale remains quiet and attractive for nature enthusiasts. Overall, Hawthornbank showcases significant investment potential for those willing to undertake refurbishment work in this charming area of Scotland.
