Description
Located in the heart of Duns, with all local amenities easily to hand, 26 Newtown Street is a particularly handsome Victorian dwelling. Having been beautifully restored and upgraded by the current owner with meticulous attention to detail and some clever, quirky design features such as the outside shower, retained original safe and French shutters on all windows. The presentation is classic and timeless with great care having been taken to blend the original character with modern fixtures and fittings whilst the courtyard garden to the rear is a real hidden gem; a private sun trap with the original stone wall boundary creating an impressive enclosure. With good internal proportions and such a convenient setting, this home is likely to appeal to a range of buyers either as a main residence or weekend holiday home.
