The property

'The Smiddy' enjoys a lovely village setting and presents an opportunity for those seeking a cottage which offers well proportioned accommodation with scope for refurbishment and upgrading. The sheltered sun trap garden to the rear is a lovely private space with a detached timber cabin, complete with light and power, which presents opportunities for various uses including a workshop or dedicated home office perhaps.

  • Location

    Swinton is a popular village with a traditional Village Green and local amenities include Primary School, playpark, garage, builders, hotel restaurant and church. The area is an ideal country location with opportunities for fishing on the Tweed, golf at Duns and the Hirsel, horse riding and walking in the Cheviot and Lammermuir hills. The village is centrally situated with the nearby towns of Duns, Coldstream, Kelso and the Coast and main line rail station at Berwick all within a 12-mile radius. Edinburgh and Newcastle are within easy reach by car.

  • Accommodation

    The reception hall as you enter is particularly spacious with a deep sill front facing window and built-in cupboard providing good storage. This is a versatile space, ideal for use as a dining hall or could potentially be used as a home office if preferred. Extending to the rear, the kitchen benefits from two large side windows and is currently fitted with a range of wooden wall and base units. The kitchen is open-plan to the lounge which is a pleasant room benefitting from a focal point provided by a black cast iron multi-fuel stove which is set onto a tiled hearth with a timber surround. Large windows to the rear allow views to the garden. In turn this space opens into the dining area which has timber cladding to dado height and is open above to the kitchen. This everyday dining space features patio doors leading directly to the sheltered gardens. Both bedrooms are good sized double rooms with the main room benefiting from a dual aspect with windows both to the front and to the rear as well as the advantage of built-in wardrobes, whilst the second bedroom also benefits from good built-in storage and a deep sill window to the front. The shower room is fitted with a white suite and comprises WC, pedestal sink and corner shower cubicle with electric power shower over. A built-in cupboard houses the water tank and provides good additional storage.
