LOCATION
Gavinton is a friendly and charming conservation village centred around an attractive village green and its adjacent village hall which provides an excellent hub for many village activities. Well placed to enjoy all the benefits increasingly associated with the Scottish Borders it lies in a lovely rural area approximately 2 miles from the nearby town of Duns which provides excellent shopping, recreational, medical and educational facilities for its size, the latter having been greatly enhanced by its state of the art secondary school and newly refurbished primary school. Gavinton is also within easy commuting distance of the larger Border towns being approximately 15 miles from Berwick-up on-Tweed, with its mainline railway station, 17 miles from Kelso and 45 miles from Edinburgh.

The front door leads into a small entrance lobby with quarry tiled floor and decorative glazed panel and door to the sitting room. The sitting room has a south facing window, deep fireplace recess and open staircase to the first floor. A further glazed door to the left of the sitting room leads into a smaller front facing room which could serve as a fourth bedroom if required and which in turn accesses a useful downstairs bathroom with west facing window and white three piece suite. Returning to the sitting room a door to the rear leads into a large dining kitchen with double doors and windows to the conservatory and decorative brick surround originally intended to house an Aga or Rayburn. The west facing conservatory creates a perfect transition between the house and garden and provides a lovely, tranquil spot for relaxation. Returning to the kitchen two steps at the rear lead up to a family/multi purpose room with two west and one east facing windows. This room has a shelved press, two good sized storage cupboards and a spiral staircase leading up to a heavily coombed Bedroom 3 and en-suite shower room.
