House For Sale £250,000
An exciting opportunity to purchase this 3-bedroom bungalow set on a sizable garden plot in the quiet tiny village of Preston surrounded by open countryside. The bungalow although in need of a little modernisation offers well-proportioned rooms with the addition of a conservatory to the front by its previous owners. This family property benefits from oil fired central heating with an external boiler, double glazing, open fire in lounge and bright rooms with large windows overlooking open fields and countryside. This bungalow also has ample storage cupboards off the kitchen and the hall and with double wardrobes in all the bedrooms. The property has loads of potential and has plenty of room on to the sides to extend or build (subject to relevant permissions being granted and feasible). Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this countryside village location and the further potential this property has to offer.

The village of Preston lies approx. 3 miles north of the large town of Duns.

Other amenities include an excellent medical centre, several denominations of churches, 2 petrol stations with vehicle repairs, an independent builders’ merchants, garden centre and a comprehensive range of other businesses and services located on the industrial estate and throughout the town. However, most supermarkets also offer a good delivery service. There is a modern state-of-the-art High School and a new primary school which opened in 2017. A nearby tourist attraction is a museum dedicated to the famous Formula One driver Jim Clark that reopened in 2019 after being extensively renovated. The surrounding areas are very popular with salmon fishing on the River Tweed, trout fishing on local lochs and rivers along with grouse and pheasant shooting at several local estates. Other nearby attractions include the 14th century Duns Castle and Wedderburn Castle, both wedding and events venues and Manderston House; an opulent Edwardian country house with its famous silver staircase and gardens that are open to the public. Berwick lies approx. 15 miles east and to the west is Galashiels which is approx. 30 miles. Both these towns offer rail links to Edinburgh, the line from Berwick being the main East Coast Line. By car, Edinburgh is approx. 47 miles, with Newcastle to the South being approx. 78 miles. Both these cities offer excellent airport facilities.
