Dunellan is a 2 bedroomed end terrace cottage, set in the heart of the desirable village of Ancrum, with outlooks to the front over the village Green and a surprisingly large garden to the rear, which extends much further back than you would expect to a very useful garage/workshop. The accommodation is comfortably sized and in very good order decoratively, improved upon by the current owners to great effect, whilst retaining many features which add to the character. The dining kitchen has been refitted and is an excellent size, the sitting room now includes a log burning stove, both bedrooms are doubles and a very useful attic room provides valuable additional storage space. Another useful extra is the garden studio, perfect for those who wish a home office with a slight sense of separation from their living environment.

Ancrum enjoys an active community life and is well served by public transport, with a village store, a pub and primary school. Centrally situated to all Border towns, including the Abbey town of Melrose, with Tweedbank railway station, which offers free parking, just a twenty minute drive away bringing the capital of Edinburgh into an hour�s journey. The ease of access to major routes both North and South bound, peaceful lifestyle, stunning scenery and improved quality of life has led to the Scottish Borders being increasingly sought after, particularly to those wishing to combine and balance their home and work life.

Internally, there is a sitting room, a dining kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. A corridor gives useful storage space for coats and boots, and it includes an understairs cupboard with a new door accessing the garden. Stairs from the landing lead up to the fully floored attic room, which is carpeted and lit by a Velux window. Good storage space. Gas central heating and double glazing.

Externally, there is a small area of garden to the front. To the rear there is a lovely patio, which is a great size and ideal for summertime dining. For those who are after the �good life�, the garden will tick many boxes as it encompasses raised veg boxes, a chicken coop, a polytunnel, a greenhouse and a charming little pond. There are mature beds well stocked with a range of shrubs and plants, a variety of trees and two little sheds as well as a log store. The purpose built studio offers excellent extra living/working space and is large enough accommodate a work station and seating. Accessed to the rear the garage is a large single and could make for a great workshop.
