Catch-a-Penny Cottage is a beautifully preserved example of 19th-century rural Scottish architecture, reflecting the historical character of the Yetholm area and its development over time. This charming Category C Listed building is believed to have once served as a toll house, hence the name and later as a blacksmith’s residence. Lovingly maintained and sensitively enhanced by its current owners using traditional methods, the cottage has been carefully preserved for future generations to enjoy. The ground floor comprises a spacious living room with a wood-burning stove, a shower room, a laundry cupboard, a dining kitchen, and a workshop/utility room. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and is presented in good decorative order throughout.

This characterful home enjoys a tranquil setting just outside the village of Town Yetholm, positioned at the junction of the B6352 and Cherrytrees Road. Surrounded by rolling landscapes and rich in local heritage, the cottage offers a peaceful rural lifestyle while remaining conveniently accessible.
