Situation

Inglewood is positioned on the periphery of the popular Borders town of Duns which lies in the heart the Berwickshire countryside, about fifteen miles due west of Berwick upon Tweed. The area is one of the genuinely rural parts of Great Britain despite its close proximity to both Edinburgh and Newcastle. Duns is a friendly town with a thriving and strong community spirit, it has a low population and can therefore offer a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.

The house is within a short walk of the town’s Market Square which offers an excellent range of amenities including local shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and professional services. The property is also within a short walk of a well-respected and successful High School and Primary School as well as Duns Castle which offers ample dog walking opportunities around the grounds and Hen Poo Park.

The immediate area provides a good variety of recreational activities from events and gardens, to excellent opportunities for the country sports enthusiast. There is salmon fishing on the River Tweed, trout fishing in various local lochs and pheasant and grouse shooting on local estates. There are a number of good golf courses in easy reach, including Duns Golf Club which is only a mile away, Goswick Golf Club and the championship Roxburgh course near Kelso.

Berwick-upon-Tweed which is within a short drive is a vibrant town with a good range of national services and retailers and has a number of hotels, restaurants, pubs and wine bars. There is the popular Maltings Theatre and Cinema as well as a regular market and a number of galleries and arts and crafts shops. Berwick also offers private schooling from ages 3 to 18 at Longridge Towers School (www.lts.org.uk).

Duns also has good transport links with the A1 trunk road only 14 miles away and the mainline railway station at Berwick-upon-Tweed providing a fast link to London Kings Cross (3h 39mins), Edinburgh (43 mins), Newcastle (45 mins) and Leeds (2h 19 mins). Edinburgh and Newcastle airports have regular flights to London and a variety of domestic and foreign destinations.
