Situation
4 Main Street is a stunning, terraced three storey sandstone property 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 .
Swinton can be dated back to the 11th century but is believed to be an older settlement. It has historic associations with the Swinton family who took the name as their own. In the mid 1700a the village was re-configured as a market town now market by the “Market Cross”. The church was built and still stands today. In the churchyard, the Swinton family have their own burial enclosure.
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 center, 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.
