The list price of £290,000 for an 828.5 sq ft, two-bedroom cottage in Bowden seems reasonable. Considering comparable properties in nearby streets and towns (e.g., Bowden Road with significantly higher prices, and Whitelee Cottages with lower prices), the price falls within a reasonable market range. However, the lack of average price per sqft data for Dick Road makes precise evaluation challenging. The renovated condition contributes to its value.

The photographs suggest Mulberry Cottage is in good condition. The interior appears recently renovated or redecorated with modern fixtures and finishes. There is no visible evidence of significant disrepair or deferred maintenance. The property seems well-maintained and updated, though a physical inspection would be needed to definitively assess the condition of unseen elements.

Mulberry Cottage is located in Bowden, a conservation village in the Scottish Borders. While the immediate proximity to amenities isn’t explicitly detailed, Bowden’s status as a desirable village suggests reasonable access to local shops and services. The proximity to Melrose and St. Boswells, larger towns, adds to the location’s appeal, offering broader amenity access. The 6.98km distance to Tweedbank train station provides a transport link, further enhancing the location’s desirability. The lack of detailed information on schools limits the score.

The property includes a small, enclosed rear garden. While it offers some outdoor space, it isn’t extensive. The images show a manageable, rather than generous, garden area, hence the moderate score.
