Burnside Cottage is a traditional 1¾ storey stone build three bedroom property set in a quiet rural location.

The property has been sympathetically modernised and upgraded by the current owners and benefits from UPVC double glazing and LPG central heating.

There is a self contained pod located to the rear of the property for use as guest accommodation or as a let. Permission is also in place for a second pod.

Burnside has a lovely traditional cosy feel and would make a lovely family home.

The property sits in a very generous garden ground divided by a public right of way in to two distinct areas. The area around the house is bounded by a dry stone wall and is well tended with the other area set below the footpath being left as a wildlife garden. The right of way is rarely used other than by locals as it affords easy access down to the village.
