.Roughley Cottage is a traditional off grid shepherd's cottage which situated in a wonderful location overlooking Hermitage Castle and the Cheviot Hills.
It is near Newcastleton (6 miles) and approached along a mile of farm track offering complete privacy and seclusion.
There is no mains electricity but solar panels and a windmill provide electricity for LED lighting and gas for refrigeration and oven.
The cottage is fairly basic but cosy and comfortable with rustic charm.
However, with walks and wildlife on the doorstep and a well-stocked brown trout loch with seating area nearby it makes a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern day living.
Otters can be seen on the loch.
