The property
11 Gourlays Wynd is a very quaint and traditional end terraced cottage which enjoys a peaceful location close to the grounds of Duns Castle and also within easy walking distance of the town centre and local amenities. The quirky cottage offers accommodation extending over two floors with some lovely period features to enjoy, not least the original range fireplaces in the lounge and main bedroom. The walled courtyard garden to the rear is a real sun trap and with access off the kitchen, offers plenty of scope for patio furniture and summer dining. For those seeking a unique, characterful cottage, this property is bound to appeal and is likely to lend itself to use as a holiday let, as an easy to maintain weekend bolt hole or for those looking to downsize and move into town from out-with.
