2 The Court House, Wallace Green, Berwick-Upon-Tweed, TD15 1FD

This remarkable Grade II listed property, formerly Berwick’s Courthouse and Prison, has been meticulously and sympathetically renovated to an exceptional standard. Set across three floors, the home provides over 300 square meters of beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated living space. Architectural details throughout reflect its heritage, while the interior offers versatile and contemporary family living.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall that leads a magnificent open-plan dining kitchen measuring 9 meters in length. This dramatic and light-filled space is the heart of the home, featuring large windows with working shutters, ample dining space and a bespoke Callerton kitchen with integrated Siemens appliances such as two ovens and an induction hob together with a Blanco sink. The ground floor also benefits from a utility room, WC and a separate boot room, perfect for modern practical living, together with underfloor heating. An additional room, currently used as an exercise room provides further flexibility. The original character is retained in features such as deep-set windows, high ceilings, original stone floors and barrel ceilings.

Ascending the cantilevered stone staircase, with its beautiful cast iron balustrade, you’ll pass a large window halfway up, allowing natural light to pour into the stairwell and highlight its elegant craftsmanship. The first floor offers a more formal living arrangement, beginning with a welcoming reading room that leads through to a light-filled sitting room, set into a striking bay and featuring a flue-lined open fireplace with Italian marble surround, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. A triple-aspect study provides a bright and versatile workspace. This level also includes a spacious double bedroom with its own dressing room and separate bathroom, offering luxurious guest accommodation or the flexibility to serve as a principal suite.

The second floor is home to a luxurious and private principal bedroom suite, entered via a well-appointed dressing room. From here, an original cast iron cell door, adds a distinctive historic touch and opens into a generously sized en-suite bathroom with a Lusso stone bath. An additional en-suite double bedroom on this floor offers further flexibility and comfort, making the layout both practical and indulgent, while preserving the property’s unique architectural integrity.

The property also benefits from a cellar offering 114 sq ft of additional storage space, with reduced headroom.

Located in the historic heart of Berwick-upon-Tweed, the property enjoys a commanding position surrounded by other listed buildings, reflecting its civic past. The area offers a strong sense of heritage, just minutes on foot from the town centre and coast. This is a rare opportunity to own a landmark home of both historical significance and exceptional contemporary comfort.
