Description
Old Schoolhouse is a pretty, Category C listed detached cottage situated on the edge of the popular village of Reston amongst the stunning countryside of the Scottish Borders and within easy reach of the A1 and the scenic coastline around Coldingham and St Abb's Head. The property has plenty of charm and character with three double bedrooms and two reception rooms, with traditional sash and case windows and shutters in most rooms.

Accommodation
The entrance hall gives a clue as to the character of this cottage with the original Victorian checkerboard floor tiling, a stripped wood staircase and useful cloakroom cupboard under the stairs. The sunny living room, which historically was the school classroom, is full of character and is perfect for relaxing by the open fire on chilly winter evenings and the old Headmasters Office provides a good sized third double bedroom on the ground floor. The cosy dining room/reception room has solid wood flooring and is warmed by a wood burning stove and leads through to a kitchen with solid wood units, a ceramic hob, extractor hood, built-in electric oven and stainless steel splashbacks, a utility area, and two separate pantry cupboards. The rear entrance hall has more useful storage and a convenient WC. Upstairs is full of character with semi-coombed ceilings and the landing is open from roof height down to the entrance hall, with a large front facing window offering plenty of light. There are two large double bedrooms, one with exposed roof beams and stonework and both rooms offer beautiful views over the open countryside. The family bathroom has a traditional cast iron bath and separate shower cubicle to include power shower, wash hand basin and toilet.

Outside
At the front of the property is a pretty enclosed garden with lawns and flower beds leading to a gravel parking area which wraps around the side and rear of the cottage, along with a useful storage shed built into the property which houses the oil central heating boiler and has plenty of room for garden tools, bikes etc.
