House For Sale £175,000
An Immaculately Presented and Meticulously Maintained Cottage Lying Directly On The Village Green. Much Larger Internally Than Expected and Perfectly Suited Either As A Main Residence of Holiday Home/Weekend Bolthole
With outlooks to the front directly onto the village green, this cottage offers larger accommodation than first impressions would lead you to believe. The interior is immaculately presented and the cottage has been meticulously maintained by the current vendors to create a property that is truly walk in condition. Having been used as a weekend home for several years, its a perfect prospect for those seeking the same. Equally for those looking for an easy to look after main residence, the cottage would be ideal with the sun trap patio garden providing a lovely outside area whilst keeping maintenance to a minimum.
Location
Swinton lies midway between the Berwickshire towns of Duns and Coldstream - a pretty and quintessential Border village with a full range of amenities and transport links, and ideally serviced by the main line rail station at Berwick Upon Tweed just 12 miles - making it a great balance of semi rural living while remaining well connected. Edinburgh and Newcastle are within an hour's drive and local amenities include a well regarded Primary School, Play Park, Garage, Hotel, Restaurant and Church, with the Berwickshire High Campus just a short drive. The area is surrounded by beautiful landscape - an ideal country location with opportunities for fishing on the Tweed, golf at Duns and The Hirsel at Coldstream and walking in the Cheviot and Lammermuir hills.
