A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property in the heart of Duns, enjoying a remarkably private and secluded setting, extensive established gardens and grounds, and excellent potential for renovation and enhancement.

Tucked away just off the town centre, The Hawthorns offers a wonderful combination of convenience, privacy and space, with local amenities within easy walking distance. The traditional stone property provides generous and versatile accommodation, complemented by extensive gardens and a number of outbuildings.

The house retains considerable character and period charm, with attractive stonework, generous proportions and a number of original features. While requiring a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, all the foundations are there for those with the vision to restore, remodel and create a highly individual family home.

The extensive accommodation provides flexibility for modern family living, with scope to reconfigure the existing layout and strengthen the connection between the house and its impressive garden grounds.
The setting is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets. Centrally located yet remarkably secluded, the extensive gardens provide a peaceful and private backdrop, offering ample space for gardening, entertaining, recreation and outdoor living. There is considerable scope for a new owner to further develop and personalise the grounds.

The Hawthorns brings together location, space, character and potential in a way rarely found in a town-centre property. For buyers seeking a renovation project with genuine lifestyle appeal, it offers an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful long-term home while retaining the character and qualities that make this property so special
