A PRETTY village cottage is how agents Knight Frank describe Yew Tree Cottage, at Hutton, in Berwickshire, and it certainly lives up to its description.

But, hard as it may be to believe today, this cottage has served other roles. Built back in the early 19th century, it was at one time a cobbler's shop and has also served as a sweet shop.

These days it is a charming home currently for sale with an asking price of offers over £210,000.

It has two reception rooms and three bedrooms as well as a kitchen and bathroom. Outside, the gardens feature a greenhouse and a separate summer house.
