Situated just outside the ever-popular Borders town of Lauder, this traditional 2/3 bedroom farm cottage presents an excellent refurbishment opportunity for those looking to create a characterful family home in a highly sought-after rural setting. Offering generous interior space, a large garden, and scope for further extension, this property has all the ingredients to become a truly special countryside retreat.
The cottage benefits from excellent transport links, making it ideal for commuters: Stow Train Station—with regular services to Edinburgh—is only a short drive away, while Lauder itself provides a good range of local amenities, cafés, shops, and leisure facilities. The area is renowned for its excellent primary and secondary schooling, placing the property within a strong and desirable school catchment.
Inside, the home features two spacious reception rooms, one with patio doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen and adjoining family area offer ample space to reconfigure and design a generous, modern kitchen-diner. The property also includes 2/3 bedrooms, allowing flexibility for use as a study, nursery, or guest room.
Externally, the large garden provides plenty of room for families, gardeners, or those wishing to extend the property (subject to consents). There is also plentiful off-road parking, with ample space to add a garage if desired.
With its charming traditional façade, generous plot, and outstanding potential, this cottage represents a rare chance to create a bespoke home in one of the Borders’ most desirable locations—all within easy reach of Edinburgh.
Ideal for families, commuters, or anyone seeking a countryside home to modernise and make their own. Early viewing is highly recommended.
