PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

9 Castle Drive is a detached bungalow featuring two en-suite double bedrooms, generous parking, and spacious front and rear gardens. Situated in the historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, this property offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to add their own personal touch.

Stepping through an enclosed vestibule, you are welcomed into a central hallway providing access to all rooms. At the front, on either side of the hallway, are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room and built-in storage. While functional and well-maintained, the interiors would benefit from modernisation, offering a great opportunity to update the space to contemporary tastes.
To the right, a spacious sitting room provides a warm and inviting space, featuring an electric fire and a bay window that fills the room with natural light while offering a pleasant outlook over the rear garden. Adjacent is a bright and airy family bathroom.

At the end of the hallway, the generous kitchen serves as the heart of the home, complete with a striking red gas Aga range. The kitchen leads to a conservatory overlooking the rear garden and a back porch providing access outside and into the garage.

Externally, the property boasts excellent outdoor space but would benefit from some landscaping to reach its full potential. The front garden, bordered by mature hedging and a wall, ensures privacy, while a large lawn sits alongside a driveway with ample parking leading to a single garage. The rear garden offers a private retreat with a mix of lawns, shrubs, paved areas, and flower beds, providing scope for enhancement.

With its prime location, spacious layout, and potential for modernisation, 9 Castle Drive presents an exciting opportunity to create a beautiful, bespoke home in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
