THE PROPERTY
The Walls is a beautiful period townhouse built circa 1750 perfectly perched on the medieval and Elizabethan town walls which surround the old town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. This truly remarkable period property occupies an enviable location with spectacular views over the River Tweed and upriver to the iconic bridges. Since 1984 this distinguished Grade II listed property has been run as a well renowned and high-quality bed and breakfast enterprise.

The current owners have owned the property since 2015. They enjoy the position of the property for many reasons. The convenience of the location, frequent sitings of otters and once some dolphins, repeat returns from their regular customers who enjoy first class hospitality and comfort in this truly beautiful setting. Much has been done to the property since 2015 including the replacement of all of the windows on the south front with double glazed sliding sash Akoya windows, new roof, chimney stacks rebuilt, significant repairs to eroded stone and lintels in the south elevation and modernisation of the bathrooms and kitchen.

Northumberland is England’s most northerly county and hides some of the most interesting and varied places to enjoy from quiet and stunning moorland and resplendent countryside to wonderful coastal scenery with vast empty beaches and undiscovered coves overlooked by dramatic cliffs. Bamburgh Castle and the ancient border towns of Coldstream, Kelso and Melrose are all within easy reach.
