House Berwick Upon Tweed

Occupying a particularly attractive position on the highly sought-after Castle Terrace, The Old Farmhouse is a superb period family home offering generously proportioned and beautifully presented accommodation in one of Berwick-upon-Tweed’s most desirable residential settings.

Predating the construction of Berwick’s Royal Border Bridge, the property combines the character and proportions expected of a traditional home with comfortable, practical living space ideally suited to modern family life. The accommodation is arranged to provide an excellent balance of formal and informal rooms, with an abundance of natural light and an attractive outlook adding considerably to the sense of space throughout.

On entering the property, the welcoming hallway immediately sets the tone for the house and provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation. The main reception rooms are generously proportioned, offering wonderful spaces for both everyday family living and more formal entertaining. The principal drawing room features a wood-burning stove, creating an inviting focal point, while the snug also benefits from a log burner, providing a comfortable setting for more relaxed evenings. The kitchen forms an important part of the home, providing an inviting and sociable space with ample room for dining, while the adjoining dining room adds greatly to the practicality of the house.

The first-floor bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, with five well proportioned bedrooms providing considerable flexibility for family, guests or home working. The rooms to the front enjoy uninterrupted views of the Royal Border Bridge, a particularly rare attribute for a property in this position on Castle Terrace. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while bedrooms three and four share a Jack and Jill en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and five, together with a family bathroom, complete the accommodation. Fitted storage enhances the practicality of the principal bedroom, the larger of the two bedrooms sharing the Jack and Jill shower room, and the fifth bedroom/study.

Externally, the mature garden and grounds provide a delightful setting for the house, offering space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. The combination of the property’s attractive architecture, generous accommodation and established outside space creates a wonderful family home with considerable charm.

The Old Farmhouse represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly appealing period home in a coveted Berwick-upon-Tweed address, combining character, generous accommodation and an excellent location.
