Situation

The cottage is positioned along a quiet country lane near to the village of Allanton, affording lovely southerly rural views. Allanton is a small attractive village with many stone-built period properties lining the road and served by an excellent gastro-pub. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is just a short distance from the larger village of Chirnside, served by a supermarket, primary school and other amenities. To the west are the market towns of Kelso and Coldstream, whilst to the east is England’s most northerly market town, Berwick-upon-Tweed, which offers the widest range of amenities including five national supermarkets, middle and secondary schools, a private school at Longridge Towers, a number of local and national shops, eateries and excellent sports facilities. The region is well connected with the A1 trunk road leading both north and south to Edinburgh and Newcastle respectively, whilst there is also a mainline railway station at nearby Reston and at Berwick-upon-Tweed, which is nine miles away and connects to both cities in circa 45 minutes and London in circa 3.5 hours, making this an excellent commutable region.
