VIEWING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO FULLY APPRECIATE THIS WONDERFUL FAMILY HOME AND THE TRULY SUPERB LOCATION AND VIEWS.

Situation:
Oxnam is a pretty hamlet tucked away in tranquil countryside, and Swinside is a small rural haven of just a few neighbouring country properties, well placed to escape the fast pace of modern life and local owners enjoy the fabulous far-reaching views and the country lifestyle associated with rural living. The White House enjoys an idyllic setting in the rolling Borders countryside, and yet is only a short drive from the popular market town of Jedburgh. Evolving around the spectacular 12th century Augustinian Abbey, the Royal Burgh of Jedburgh is one of the most historic market towns in the Scottish Borders. This extremely popular and picturesque town boasts a number of buildings of architectural significance including the famous Mary Queen of Scots fortified house and the Victorian County Jail, together with the attractive Market Square. Excellent amenities are available in the town and surrounding area including a good range of independent retailers, which mix well with an eclectic collection of restaurants and bars. Recreational facilities are well catered for in the town, and these include a popular swimming pool and fitness centre, golf course and beautiful parkland. Primary and secondary schooling is available locally, and with enviable links both north and south via the A68 and A7 to Edinburgh, Carlisle and Newcastle. Berwick-upon-Tweed is the nearest main line railway station, and domestic and international flights can be accessed easily at both Edinburgh and Newcastle Airports.
