Key features:
Main Description
Bank House, 24 Main Street, Swinton is a terraced bungalow set in the picturesque Border town of Swinton, with well appointed and generously proportioned accommodation arranged over a single level. This traditional property is presented in good order but in need of modernisation. Off street parking and a large south facing garden makes this a very attractive property.
Accommodation Currently Comprises:
Ground Floor: Entrance hall, 2 double bedrooms with storage, bathroom, living room/ dining room, kitchen, rear hallway, garage/ store, rear store.
Distances: Edinburgh 48 miles, Newcastle 65 miles, Berwick Upon Tweed 12 miles (All distances are approximate).
Situation
Bank House is a charming, terraced, traditional sandstone bungalow on the Main Street in Swinton. Situated between the village green and the edge of the village the property is in an enviable position with off street parking. In the village there is a pub/ restaurant, primary school, car garage and church.
The nearby town of Duns is the county town of Berwickshire serving a relatively wide rural hinterland. The town itself has a relatively small population of around 2,750 according to the 2016 Mid Year Population Estimates. It is a traditional market town providing good range of local facilities and services including primary and secondary schooling, a variety of independent shops, banking services, public houses, restaurants, veterinary surgery, police station, garden centre, library, fire station, council and housing association offices.
On a broader note, the Scottish Borders offers a quality of life that is second to none and in an area of 1800 square miles there is certainly plenty of space to enjoy our beautiful unspoilt countryside and individual towns. Leave the congestion and overpricing behind and discover for yourself what a fantastic place the Borders is to live, work and play. Home to world class activities and attractions, it’s no wonder that the area is so popular with visitors who come here to enjoy mountain biking at Glentress, salmon fishing on the Tweed, walking in our hills and forests or diving off the Berwickshire coast. The area is also known for its’ spectacular Common Ridings, when whole communities come together to celebrate each town’s individual heritage and to cheer on hundreds of horses and riders every summer. The Borders is also a heartland of rugby in Scotland, with the names of our local towns being synonymous with the game and of course Melrose being the original home of rugby sevens. From our historic towns to rural villages, wherever you go you will be struck by the warmth of the welcome in our communities and the real pride people have in living in this wonderful part of the world. With good transport links, an excellent education system and stunning countryside, a move to the Scottish Borders really could be the best move of your life.
Description
The village centre elevations conceal generous grounds with good size private gardens to the rear accessed via the garage and rear hallway and also the main hall through the property.
A permanent outbuilding attached to the property currently used as a workshop/ store and ample hardstanding space for a shed to provide extra garden storage or to create a south facing terrace. Internally, the accommodation benefits from generous proportions but does need some modernisation throughout. The building retains its external period character and village charm and would be ideal for somebody looking to put their own stamp on the property. The property has been part of a successful lettings portfolio and would also be ideal for a property investor looking to add value.
