Ord Cottage

Situated on the main street of the picturesque village of Swinton, Ord Cottage is a delightful stone-built home that seamlessly blends traditional character with modern comforts. Offering spacious and versatile accommodation, this unique property is filled with charm and benefits from a secure, private south-facing garden, off-street parking, full double glazing, a conservatory, and previously approved planning permission for a rear extension.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance foyer featuring a stunning original exposed stone wall, creating an immediate sense of character and warmth. To the right is a modern, generously proportioned family bathroom, along with the converted garage which now serves as an impressive principal bedroom. Flooded with natural light from Velux windows, this generous room also benefits from underfloor heating throughout and an excellent walk-in dressing room.

The heart of the home is the inviting living room, where a charming inglenook multi-fuel stove provides a cosy focal point, perfect for relaxing evenings. From here, the accommodation flows into the beautifully presented kitchen, complete with a traditional Belfast sink, quality cabinetry, and ample workspace. The adjoining dining area provides an excellent space for family meals and entertaining, while also offering access to the conservatory.

To the rear of the property, the bright conservatory enjoys views over the garden and allows an abundance of natural light to pour into the home. Beyond lies a generously sized double bedroom with ensuite facilities, creating an ideal guest suite or private accommodation for family members.

Externally, the property benefits from a private, secure south-facing garden which is a particular highlight. A patio area overlooks an attractive rockery with lawns beyond, creating a wonderful outdoor retreat and serving as a true suntrap throughout the warmer months. The garden provides the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the peaceful village surroundings.

The property also benefits from lapsed planning permission for a substantial kitchen, dining, and living room extension to the rear, presenting an exciting opportunity for future development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

Swinton itself is a thriving and welcoming village community, offering a popular local pub, primary school, and excellent community spirit – all within easy reach of the surrounding Borders countryside.
