Completed approximately three years ago, 1 Borthwick View is an impressive detached bungalow forming part of a small hamlet in an absolutely idyllic rural location with stunning views. Despite its particularly peaceful situation surrounded by beautiful rolling Borders countryside, there is an excellent access road to nearby Hawick, which takes only about 5 minutes to reach by car and offers excellent amenities.

The house has been finished to excellent standards, with ample power points, telephone points and tv points throughout, and offers particularly well laid out accommodation enjoying really stunning views to the front and a lovely private outlook to the back. It has a very attractively designed garden, which includes a good sized lawned area to the front, well stocked raised beds to the side, a productive vegetable area, and a raised area of decking which enjoys sun at the back of the property, with a very high degree of privacy.

LOCATION
Roberton is a strong community, with many activities e.g. carpet bowling on offer.
