Sale history
£185,000 in November 2018
The property
Iona Cottage is a charming, characterful and rather deceptive stone built detached property having been extended to provide spacious and particularly bright and airy accommodation throughout. The scale of the property is perhaps not apparent from first impressions but due to the attic extension the property provides three double bedrooms and two public rooms. The accommodation is particularly light and airy , thanks in part to some clever design features and tasteful decor. Externally the gardens are delightful, very sheltered with walled surround, having been neatly presented to provide colour and interest throughout the year. The cottage enjoys a very peaceful location within this popular and established village, ideal for those looking for a village way of life, yet conveniently located within a few miles of Duns.

Location
Gavinton has its own distinct character with real village charm and community spirit with the recently renovated village hall a focus for village activities. Set back from the main Duns to Greenlaw road which skirts round the village benefiting from a quiet location against the backdrop of the Lammermuir Hills and wooded countryside and within two miles of the beautiful Borders market town of Duns with its quality shops and other facilities including newly opened state of the art Berwickshire High School, Primary School, Swimming Pool, 18 hole Golf Course, Duns Castle Estate and Country Park. The Berwickshire coastline and the mainline station at Berwick upon Tweed is some 15 miles distant and Edinburgh within an hour by car.
