Inside, the cottage offers a thoughtfully designed layout that balances comfort and practicality. On the ground floor, an entrance hall leads to a cosy double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and elegant French doors opening directly onto the rear garden—an ideal spot for a morning coffee.
A second double bedroom, also with its own en-suite, provides welcoming accommodation for guests. A useful utility room is positioned to the rear, offering additional convenience and storage.

Upstairs, the first floor is dedicated to a bright and spacious open-plan dining kitchen and sitting room. This inviting layout suits modern living perfectly, with Velux windows allowing natural light to flood in and a wood-burning stove creating a warm and homely atmosphere.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The front garden enjoys private parking, practical storage sheds, and direct access to the riverbank, where two separate grassed areas provide perfect spaces for riverside coffee, breakfast, or relaxed evening dining in the summer sun. To the rear, a sheltered patio area offers a lovely spot for outdoor dining, leading via steps to a neatly landscaped garden with multiple sheds and further storage.

Local area


Longformacus is the largest of the Lammermuir villages, tucked away in a stunning landscape of rolling hills and open countryside. Though peaceful and secluded, it’s ideally situated between the vibrant cities of Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tyne. The village itself enjoys a strong sense of community, with a welcoming atmosphere centred around the village hall and church, both of which host regular events and social gatherings for residents and visitors alike.

Just 7 miles Southeast is the historic town of Duns, which provides a range of local amenities including shops, cafés, an 18-hole golf course, and a popular water sports centre on the River Whiteadder. The town also boasts cultural and heritage attractions such as Duns Castle and the stately Manderston House. To the northwest, the slightly larger town of Haddington offers a broader selection of independent shops, well-known retailers, and a variety of bars and restaurants.

Despite its rural charm, Longformacus benefits from excellent transport links. The nearby A1 provides straightforward access to Edinburgh, Newcastle, and further south via Berwick-upon-Tweed. The A697 also offers a convenient route for commuting. For longer journeys, regular trains from Edinburgh and Berwick make it possible to reach London in around three and a half hours.

Located in Northern Berwickshire and just south of Midlothian, Longformacus offers easy access to the many charming towns, villages, and natural attractions of the Scottish Borders, East Lothian, and Northumberland.
