Long Barn, Heathery Tops Farm, Scremerston, Berwick-upon-Tweed, TD15

A charming 3-bedroom stone barn conversion with spacious, light-filled living areas, private gardens, parking, and an integral garage. Ideal as a family home or investment in a rural setting.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Long Barn is a well-presented 3-bedroom semi-detached stone barn conversion, forming part of the exclusive Heathery Tops Farm development, an attractive collection of sixteen properties created from a former dairy farm steading and completed in 2009. With bright, versatile accommodation arranged over two principal floors, this stylish home combines contemporary comfort with character in a rural setting.

The front door opens directly into a well-appointed kitchen with generous worktop and cupboard space, along with a large breakfast bar.

From here, the layout flows through to an expansive open-plan dining and living area that spans the full depth of the property. This light-filled and welcoming space is ideal for family life and entertaining, with twin sets of French doors from the dining area opening onto the front garden, and the living area enjoying a quiet, sheltered aspect. A striking exposed stone wall with a log-burning stove creates a warm and characterful focal point in the living area. Beyond the kitchen lies a practical utility room, which includes a cloakroom/W.C., internal access to the garage, and a rear door out to the garden.

Upstairs, the central landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and benefits from useful built-in storage cupboards. The principal bedroom enjoys a sleek en suite shower room and a large airing cupboard, while the two remaining double bedrooms are filled with natural light and are served by a modern family bathroom, with roll top bath and separate shower unit.

Externally, Long Barn offers parking for two vehicles directly outside the property, along with an integral garage. The gardens are a particular highlight: to the front, a fenced private lawn is bordered by mature flower beds, offering seasonal colour and a delightful patio to sit and enjoy the surroundings. To the rear, a secure and enclosed garden provides a peaceful retreat, complete with patio area, garden shed and space for outdoor dining or play.

Long Barn is currently run as a successful holiday let and presents a strong investment opportunity. Equally, its well-balanced layout, enclosed gardens and tranquil location make it an ideal choice for a full-time family home.
