Tinkers View, Castle Street, Duns, TD11

A unique individually designed detached home located at the entrance to Duns Castle Estate; with pretty walled garden and open views over neighbouring paddocks

Quietly tucked away within a private plot at the entrance to the prestigious Duns Castle Estate, Tinkers View is a truly captivating home that offers far more than first impressions suggest.

Enjoying an exceptional degree of privacy, this unique property reveals a delightful surprise to the rear – a beautifully maintained walled garden. Sheltered, sunny and wonderfully secluded, this hidden gem provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, al fresco dining or simply relaxing in peaceful surroundings.

Inside, the home is equally impressive, showcasing a wealth of clever architectural features that make this home unique. A striking vaulted ceiling enhances the spacious sitting room, while a feature spiral staircase and fully glazed rear elevation create a wonderful sense of light and space. French doors seamlessly connect the principal living areas with the gardens beyond, perfectly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the heart of the home is the generous open-plan sitting and dining room, which flows effortlessly into the well-equipped contemporary kitchen. For more formal occasions or quieter evenings, the beautifully presented lounge offers an elegant retreat, recently redecorated and enjoying lovely views across the neighbouring paddocks from windows on two elevations.

Practicality is equally well catered for, with the former garage thoughtfully converted into a dedicated home office—ideal for modern working requirements. A useful utility room, laundry area and ground-floor cloakroom add further convenience.

The feature spiral staircase gives way to a galleried landing overlooking the sitting room below and framing delightful views across the gardens. Four well-proportioned double bedrooms extend from the landing, each enjoying a pleasant outlook. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite facilities, while the upgraded family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms.

The gardens at Tinkers View are undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Enclosed by attractive stone walls and with a woodland backdrop, they offer an enviable level of privacy and shelter while capturing the best of the sunshine throughout the day. Thoughtfully landscaped and beautifully established, the grounds are bursting with colour and interest, featuring manicured lawns, well-stocked borders, a dining terrace and ample space for productive raised vegetable beds.

Positioned towards the upper section of the garden, a charming summerhouse enjoys an elevated vantage point, taking in rooftop views across Duns and beyond to the Cheviot Hills

Combining contemporary, low-maintenance living with an idyllic setting, Tinkers View offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful lifestyle without compromising on convenience, with the amenities of Duns town centre just a short stroll away.
