Country cottage in a stunning riverside location.
Dogcraig Cottage is a unique property, set high on the banks of the iconic river Tweed in what were once the outbuildings of a 200+ year old corn mill built for the Kailzie Estate. Scotsmill is now a semi-rural collection of four houses close to the county town of Peebles.
This charming and spacious three-bedroom detached cottage has fantastic views of the Tweed and the countryside beyond. The front door opens into a wide entrance hall, there is a large sitting room with central fireplace and triple aspect windows, a coat cupboard and a WC. The well-equipped kitchen includes an AGA cooker. Off the bright hallway, are two good size double bedrooms, a smaller bedroom currently utilised as a dining room, a main bathroom and a deep storage cupboard. From the kitchen, there is a large timber decked balcony from which the river views and garden are best appreciated.
Externally the house sits in a generous plot with a laid lawn, mature trees, planted flower beds and stone and timber shed with ample storage for bikes. To the top of the driveway there is an area which has the potential to make a productive garden, hardstanding or, dependent upon planning permission, a detached garage.
The river Tweed can be accessed from the property. However, permission for salmon and trout fishing would be via Kailzie Estate who own several miles of single bank fishing.
