Church Street, BERWICK-UPON-TWEED, Northumberland

Description
8a Church Street is a recently modernised, immaculately presented apartment conveniently located in the centre of Berwick and within the historic Elizabethan fortified town walls. The property has recently been comprehensively renovated including rewiring, double glazing in the traditional sash and case style, the installation of a new gas central heating system, and the fitting of a new kitchen and bathrooms. As a result, the apartment is superbly presented and includes a spacious living room, dining kitchen, double bedroom and shower room on the first floor and two double bedrooms and family bathroom on the second floor. There is also the useful addition of an external storage cupboard.

Accessed via a shared vennel and external staircase from Church Street the entrance hall has an understair cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine. The spacious and light living room has a lovely view across Church Street to the historic Grade I Listed Town Hall. A newly fitted dining kitchen has room for a dining table and is fitted with sleek and contemporary kitchen cabinets with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, electric oven and ceramic hob with an extractor over. A small hall leads onto a double bedroom looking out to the rear and an adjoining shower room has a newly fitted shower cubicle, hand basin and WC.

The stairs from the entrance hall lead up to the second floor with two double bedrooms, both looking out over Church Street and the Town Hall. The family bathroom has clean contemporary lines and is beautifully fitted out with a freestanding double ended bathtub, a walk in shower cubicle with overhead rain shower and handset, hand basin and low level WC.

Location
8a Church Street is conveniently located in a central position close to the high street and town centre with Hide Hill and Bridge Street with their independent shops, bars and restaurants just a short walk away. The nearby historic Elizabethan town walls provide access to a number of bracing walks with spectacular views over the Tweed Estuary and out to sea. Berwick upon Tweed has a comprehensive range of facilities including a variety of shops, restaurants, and banks as well as the award-winning Maltings Theatre. The mainline railway station is within easy walking distance and offers regular services to Edinburgh and Newcastle, both around 40 minutes away, as well as London, some three and a half hours to the south. The A1 is close at hand providing good access to the regional and national road network.

The local area is well known for its spectacular scenery with the rugged coastline and unspoilt beaches of North Northumberland and the imposing Cheviot Hills. Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, Bamburgh Castle and the ancient Border towns of Coldstream, Kelso and Melrose are within easy reach. There are a number of excellent links and inland golf courses locally, including a Championship course at Roxburghe, and racecourses at Kelso and Musselburgh. Despite its proximity to both Edinburgh and Newcastle, the area has a low population and therefore offers a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.
