Charming stone cottage in beautiful village setting

Blackadder End Cottage, a charming and attractive end terrace stone built cottage with distinctive architectural detailing, including ornamental slating in a ‘fish scale’ pattern, and ornate door heads and surrounds. It is situated in an attractive village setting in the centre of Allanton, one mile south of Chirnside and ten miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed.

The property provides well proportioned accommodation combining period charm, such as timber beamed ceilings, pitch pine board flooring and belted and braced internal doors, with modern kitchen and bathroom suites and LPG gas fired central heating.

Externally, the cottage has a delightful rear garden on two levels, laid principally to lawn with flowering borders and semi-mature fruit trees, together with a large timber shed and an adjoining outbuilding/store with planning consent to create a garage.

Allanton is a charming village with an interesting history that lies on the confluence of the Whiteadder and Blackadder waters. It has an active Village Hall and an award winning pub restaurant.

Chirnside, one mile to the north, has been a settlement since ancient times with an attractive Norman church and landmark Art Deco primary school. Chirnside provides primary education, medical services and a local supermarket. It is situated approximately ten miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed, with its main line railway station, and close to the A1 ensures that the town is well placed for travelling to both Edinburgh (52 miles) and Newcastle (72 miles).

James Abbott, selling agent at Smiths Gore’s Berwick Office says: “The 19th Century estate village of Allanton developed largely to serve the Blackadder Estate and this association provides a valuable insight into the wealth and importance of the area leaving an architectural legacy that is unique to the locality.”

“Allanton is a designated Conservation Area and its architectural importance is recognised at national level by the statutary listing of seventeen of its most prominent buildings, including Blackadder End which is category C listed.”

Blackadder End is marketed for offers in excess of £165,000. For further information, visit smithsgore.co.uk.
