22 The Green, Swinton

Beautifully positioned on the top of the village green, 22 The Green boasts an enviable outlook over the centre of the village. Rather unassuming from first impressions, this quaint and charming cottage opens up to provide much more spacious accommodation that you might expect. Having recently undergone a programme of extensive renovation and upgrading the cottage is superbly presented in a lovely contemporary style yet still retains the original charm and character - all completed with great attention to detail and top quality fixtures and fittings. The south facing patio garden to the rear is perfectly placed for those in search of some outside space without too much maintenance or perhaps for those seeking an easy to keep lock up and leave Berwickshire bolthole.

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.
