Windy House

A unique and charming small holding which includes a three-bedroom detached cottage, outbuildings and approximately 12 acres of land situated in the scenic Yarrow Valley.

Windy House has been extensively upgraded and improved by the current owner with the layout providing versatile accommodation offering either a three-bedroomed cottage or a split arrangement of a two-bedroom cottage with a one-bedroom style annexe located in the converted byre.

On the ground floor, the property boasts a newly fitted open plan kitchen/dining area with Belfast sink, integrated oven and hob and fridge/freezer. The Rayburn cooker is the natural focal point of the room adding to the cosy atmosphere synonymous with rural living. Located off the kitchen is the utility room and lounge. The utility room is equipped with a Belfast sink, fitted units and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and leads into the ground floor wc. The spacious lounge is fitted with a most attractive wood burner set within the original fireplace with slate hearth and wooden shelves with a large window to the front providing excellent north westerly views across the Yarrow Valley; a feature that runs throughout the property.

A staircase from the lounge leads to mid-level to the family bathroom comprising an attractive white three-piece suite, with further stairs from mid-level to the first floor. On the first floor are two good sized double bedrooms with with one of the bedrooms benefitting from an open fire with wooden surround and cast-iron inset. Also from the lounge, a door leads through to the converted byre, allowing access to the annexe accommodation comprising ground floor living space and shower room and a set of stairs leads to bedroom number three which is a compact double room with a velux window to the rear and could easily be utilised as office or study accommodation. The byre is accessed from within the main cottage and could be used for short terms lets or holiday accommodation subject to obtaining the appropriate consents.

The property is registered as a small holding (Main Location Code 93/805/0024) and comprises approximately 12 acres of land in total, bounded by fences. There is 10 acres of rough grazing land located to the front of the property and the remaining 2 acres surround the house. To the rear of the house is a paved area with a coal store and a grassy area with steps next to two large outbuildings. The large top shed and the lower long shed are being used predominantly for storage by the current owner but there is potential to utilise these buildings as office space, workshop space or for running a small business. In particular, the lower long shed is split into sections including a loosebox and tack room, ideal for the equestrian enthusiast. A second driveway gives access to these outbuildings with sufficient parking space for a caravan. The garden area to the left-hand side of the house features a patio area ideal for al fresco dining as well as a pond and further parking for several vehicles can be found to the front of the house.
