The property
‘The Honey House’ offers something different from the norm and much more than meets the eye. The property itself provides fantastically well proportioned family accommodation which extends over three floors and would lend itself to various possibilities, not only as a perfect family home but also with scope for B&B or such like if required. Uniquely, the property benefits from a detached recently converted barn to the rear; ‘The Honey Barn’ offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to run a self contained holiday let with excellent income potential but could also be adapted to cater for extended family or for use as a dedicated home office if required. The property and the barn have both been upgraded with sustainability in mind, including solar panels installed on the south facing roof of the barn (another source of income), resulting in an impressive overall energy efficiency rating of B. The location of the property is particularly appealing being central within this popular Berwickshire village with a thriving community. There is a local primary school in the village and Swinton is within the catchment area for the highly regarded Berwickshire High School in Duns, making this property an ideal prospect for those looking for a family home in a village setting with the added extra of the ‘Honey Barn’ and the various opportunities this brings.
