Situation
The property sits in a peaceful lane in Tweedmouth, close to the ancient fisherman's church and just a short walk from the banks of the River Tweed. Ideally located with ASDA, LIDL and a Marks and Spencers food hall nearby, the town centre is a ten-minute stroll across the old bridge with the sandy dog-friendly beach at Spittal just fifteen minutes walk away in the opposite direction.
Berwick-upon-Tweed, famous for its stunning architecture and Elizabethan walls, offers a wide selection of amenities and is well served by local and national shops, five major supermarkets and schooling for all ages, including a private school at Longridge Towers. Berwick also has a selection of leisure and sports clubs (including The Swain Leisure Centre and Berwick Amateur Rowing Club), banks, public houses, restaurants and The Malting's cinema. The main line railway station has regular trains to both Edinburgh (40 minutes) , Newcastle (45 minutes) and London (3 hours 20 minutes). The nearby A1 trunk road bypasses the town and provides easy access both north and south.
The local area has a wide range of popular attractions and activities including
Northumberland and Berwickshire’s rugged coastline of unspoilt beaches and beautiful
landscapes; Holy Island, Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, Bamburgh Castle and the ancient Border towns of Coldstream, Kelso and Melrose are within easy reach. Country and sporting pursuits are also readily available, including hill walking, salmon and trout fishing, riding, hunting and shooting. Golf is available locally; within five minutes walk lies Berwick Golf Course and other courses can be found at Goswick, Eyemouth and the Hirsel. Berwick also hosts a number of festivals throughout the year including a Film and Media Event, The Food and Drink festival and The Berwick Literary Festival. Despite Berwick’s proximity to both Edinburgh and Newcastle, the area has a low population and can therefore offer a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.
