The property is a 3 bedroom cottage located in Duns, Berwickshire. It is a stone built property that appears to be in need of some modernisation. The property benefits from a small garden and outbuildings. The location is rural, approximately 5km from Norham St Ceolwulfs Cofe Controlled First School which has an outstanding Ofsted rating. The proximity to this school may be a positive factor for families. However, the lack of other nearby amenities such as shops and transport links should be considered. Based on the images provided, the property appears to be in fair condition. Whilst the structure seems sound, the interior requires modernisation and some cosmetic repairs. The kitchen shows signs of damp, and the walls and ceilings throughout need attention. The plot size is relatively small at 942.60 sqft. Although there is a garden area and outbuildings, the overall land size is modest. The list price of £200,000 is below the average price for the area (£261,961). However, considering the property’s condition and the need for renovation, the price may reflect this. The average price per sqft in the area is £295.00, and this property is listed at approximately £255 per sqft. Therefore, the price could be considered reasonable, provided the cost of necessary renovations is factored into the overall purchase price.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
