The property is set in the peaceful conservation village of Allanton which originally formed as part of the Blackadder Estate, with Blackadder House sadly being demolished in 1925. In the 20th Century the village was notable for its Tailor’s shops, having three for such a small village, the last of which closed in the 1960’s. The property sits on the wide street opposite the original gate lodges to Blackadder House. This pretty village is made up with a mixture of quaint cottages and detached bungalows and houses and benefits from a thriving pub which has an outstanding reputation for hospitality and its food. The village sits approx. 6 miles from Duns which offers a wide range of amenities and approx. 11 miles from the A1 and Berwick upon Tweed which offers further amenities and excellent transport links North and South.
