House For Sale £260,000
This terraced house, once an important property within the village, was commissioned by Lord Swinton for his estate manager, who was a mason, perhaps showing off his workmanship with the dressed stonework facade. A category C (S) listed building, it sits in a prominent position overlooking the village green. The house has had the living accommodation extended by converting the outbuildings and stables, restoring the original cast iron stalls for the horses to make a clever feature within the kitchen/diner. The accommodation is of spacious proportions with a large living room leading through to a cosy snug, following on to the dining room, and lastly into the kitchen/diner. The property also features 2 spacious double bedrooms (one with a dressing room), a family bathroom, a further shower room, washroom, utility room, and an integral garage.
LOCATION
The property is nestled in the picturesque village of Swinton, near Duns in the Scottish Borders. This property offers a peaceful escape with stunning views of the surrounding rolling hills. Conveniently located on The Green, the village has a primary school, church, and a hotel: The Wheatsheaf. Swinton is almost equidistant from Coldstream and Duns, both offering a selection of amenities. Berwick is approximately 12 miles east and offers further amenities and transport links.
