Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland (population approximately 14,000, catchment area 42,000) is situated approximately equi-distant between Edinburgh to the north and Newcastle-upon-Tyne to the south (65 miles each way). The settlement is served by the A1 trunk road and the mainline East Coast railway network. The railway provides regular services to Edinburgh and Newcastle-upon-Tyne (approximately 45 minutes) and London (approximately 3 and a half hours). There are also airports at Edinburgh and Newcastle-upon-Tyne providing domestic and international scheduled flights.

Although a small town Berwick-upon-Tweed is regarded as the principal market town for north Northumberland and eastern Borders and offers a full range of retail, leisure and banking facilities.

The town has an influx of seasonal tourism visitors. It is said that the population doubles during the summer season.

Nearby occupiers include Premier Inn, the Queens Head Hotel and Restaurant, a Hair Salon, Kevin Dixon Building Services offices and the former Corn Exchange which was converted into flats in 2005/2006, a house and the former Hen and Chickens Hotel which is vacant and has been unoccupied for some time.

Berwick-Upon-Tweed benefits from an active commercial harbor. The port can currently take vessels up to 90 meters in length with maximum beam height of 16m and drafts of up to 4.4m. The town has recently started to welcome passenger cruise ships with the first, Ireland Sky, dropping anchor off Spittal Beach on 21 July 2021 and the Spirit of Discovery on 22 July 2021.



DESCRIPTION

The main section of the building comprises a mid-terraced three storey building which is believed to date to the eighteenth century. This part of the building is of traditional construction under a pitched roof clad in slate with features including back-fillets, cornice, scrolls, rusticated quoins. The front elevation has a painted render finish. The wider building is three storeys in height with two timber framed casement windows to each floor level.

Ground floor has an entrance door to the south with pended access with door to this unit and access to courtyard providing access to the flats above.

There is a flat roofed single storey extension to the rear which would appear of cavity construction. This has a rendered finish. The flat roof is finished in mineral felt.

Rainwater goods are predominantly of cast iron specification with PVC units to the single storey extension.
