5 bedroom detached house for sale

Eildon Cottage is an expansive 5-bedroom cottage that sits in its own grounds which extend to approx. 1/2 acre, offering a great deal of privacy. This traditional cottage has been sympathetically extended to a large family home, with the flexible layout creating an option for a granny annexe. The property, in years gone by, has served as a Post Office and Post Master's house, a bed & breakfast, and a tearoom. Currently a family home, the property offers great potential for a business opportunity (subject to relevant permissions), as it is ideally located on the popular Southern Upland Way. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential and space this property has to offer.
