Apartment 6 Heritage Quay

2 bedroom second floor apartment

Heritage Quay is a rare opportunity to acquire a new home on the Tweed waterfront in Berwick, where Northern Heritage is creating a range of two, three bedroom apartments and a handful of town Houses.  Heritage Quay is gated, and the exterior style is perfectly in keeping with the traditional stone buildings of this richly historic area.

Riverside Living In Berwick upon Tweed

Many of the homes at Heritage Quay have balconies, allowing you the privilege of expansive views from the south side of The Tweed towards Berwick.  You’ll be able to see the impressive town walls, which were begun in 1558 and completed in the reign of Elizabeth I, and still form an almost unbroken ring around the centre.

Berwick has always taken care of its defences.  Its position on the Tweed meant it was a frontier town, frequently fought over by England and Scotland.  Up to 1482 it changed hands fourteen times, and even in Victorian times still had special status as being not quite English and not quite Scottish.  This duality continues: it is the only English town to have a football team in the Scottish League.  The Tweed itself, however, is officially Scottish.

Today you don’t need to take sides; you just have to enjoy living here.  Berwick upon Tweed is friendly, charming and welcoming.  The lively centre is full of shops, pubs and cafes, the surrounding countryside a glorious mix of beaches, ragged coastline, hills and castles.  No wonder many of the people born here never leave, and if they do, soon come back to appreciate the unique charms of this magnificent northern town.

Berwick’s famous three bridges connect the north and south sides of the river.  The most spectacular is undoubtedly the Royal Border Railway Viaducy, completed in 1850 to carry the East Coast mainline railway on its twenty eight high arches.  The railway means that it’s perfectly feasible to live in Berwick and commute to work in Newcastle or Edinburgh, both less than an hour away.  The A1 is also direct road link to both cities.

The Special Charm of England’s Most Northern Town

Whether you work locally or in the city, you’ll find everyday life in Berwick relaxing and rewarding.  Amongst its characteristic pinkish-brown stone buildings there is a surprising choice of modern amenities as well as historic landmarks.  The shops include the usual and the unusual: independent bookstores, craft and gift shops, specialist tea and coffee suppliers, health foods, surfing supplies, quality furniture.  There’s also a twice weekly market.

Berwick’s Cultural life focuses on the Maltings Theatre and Arts Centre, where you can enjoy drama, music and movies, and the town restaurants, wine bars and pubs encompass the traditional and trendy.

Only a few miles drive from Heritage Quay, the wild scenery soon envelops you and this too, is a reason why this region is so well loved.  The craggy, blustery Northumberland Coast – an area of outstanding Natural Beauty – begins just south of Berwick and offers its beaches, castles and islands for exploration.

Travelling inland brings you into the gentler landscape of the borders where attractions include Hirsel Country Park, charming small towns such as Coldstream and many excellent spots to play golf or fish for trout and Salmon and of course the wonderful River Tweed.

Hand crafted and Harmonious

All Northern Heritage Homes are meticulously designed to be in complete harmony with the local architectural heritage.  We always aim for a low key, hand crafted appearance rather than something that looks alarmingly new and out of place.  At heritage Quay we are respecting Berwick tradition with Homes that reflect mill buildings, built in mellow stone, natural wood and slate.  The finished result is a development fully in keeping with the local vernacular look at the town centre.

Heritage Quay is on southern bank of the river Tweed close to the location of the planned new marina and riverside walk.  It’s easy to reach the town centre on foot  across the road bridge.  However, allocated parking is provided at the development.
