Athole Cottage is a charming three-bedroom family home set in a large, peaceful, private plot located just 3 miles from Hawick. The cottage boasts spacious accommodation over two principal floors. The ground floor offers a welcoming porch, a reception hallway, a large sitting room which opens directly into the bright conservatory, a generous dining room and the breakfasting kitchen. Completing the ground floor is a useful utility room and WC.
The first floor comprises two spacious double bedrooms one benefitting from built in storage, a third single bedroom and a fully equipped bathroom.
Whilst in need of a degree of modernisation, Athole is an attractive family home offering flexible living spaces and a wonderful opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create a stunning country cottage in a well-located spot.
Externally the property has a well-kept front lawn with a selection of planted shrubs and flowers, there is a private driveway to the side of the property offering ample parking space for several cars. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with a further selection of mature shrubbery, a vegetable patch and stunning countryside views.
Athole Cottage benefits from a number of outbuildings including a small stable block, a stone outbuilding used for storage, an integrated coal bunker and two further interacted storage rooms. Once renovated the stone outbuilding could create an excellent workshop or external home office.

Situation
Athole Cottage sits peacefully in the quaint village of Kirkton circa 3 miles from the bustling centre of Hawick. The centre of the town benefits from an ALDI, Sainsburys and Morrisons supermarket, a wide range of local shops and businesses, banks, restaurants, public houses, sports clubs, leisure centre, and schools for all ages. The town also boasts a high-school and several local primary schools.
Hawick is a historic town, regarded as the ‘Home of Cashmere’ and is surrounded by the beautiful, picturesque Scottish Borders where there are opportunities on the doorstep for walking, cycling, golfing, horse-riding, fishing, as well as many other country pursuits. Equally well known for its proud rugby tradition and the venue for the famous Common Riding every June, Hawick has good road access to the nearby towns of Galashiels, Selkirk, Melrose and Kelso and to the south via the A7. There are bus links to the cities of Carlisle and Newcastle upon Tyne, and the Borders railway to Edinburgh has stops at Galashiels and Tweedbank, both just a 25-minute drive away.
