3 Swinton Hill Cottages, Swinton, Near Duns

Beautifully positioned within the heart of Berwickshire’s countryside, this attractive stone built cottage lies close to the popular village of Swinton and boasts easy connections to other neighbouring towns and villages. With a south facing aspect and elevated outlooks towards The Cheviots the interior is flooded with natural light and is impeccably well presented with many recent upgrades and improvements. Of particular note is the impressive farmhouse style kitchen; timeless and classic in its design and offering a fantastic space for entertaining or family gatherings. Indeed the entire cottage offers great proportions with the further benefit of bedroom and bathroom/shower room facilities on both the ground and first floor which allows for plenty of flexibility. As you might expect from a property of this nature, there is a fabulous cottage style garden to the front which faces south and basks in sunlight, whilst the rear garden featuring workshop enjoys a fine open view towards The Lammermuirs.

The cottage is likely to attract interest from a range of buyers; Edinburgh and Newcastle are around an hour’s drive away whilst there is also regular train connections to both cities and further south on the main East Coast railline at nearby Berwick Upon Tweed meaning that this cottage offers a particularly well connected rural setting – a winning combination either as a main home or weekend retreat.
