Approximately 2.27 acres in total.

 

For sale privately as a Whole or in two Lots.

 



Berrywell House is a substantial, south-facing Georgian property on a grand scale which dates from around 1760 and is set within well maintained, landscaped and wooded grounds that provide both shelter and amenity.  The property offers bright and spacious accommodation which has been designed to make the most of the superb setting and

wonderful far reaching views over farmland to the Cheviot Hills.  The basement and second floor give opportunities for further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.  The house, which is believed to have been visited by Robert Burns during his tour of the Borders in 1787, provides large, well proportioned family accommodation which offers the convenience of being on the edge of the town yet has the benefits of a private rural setting.

 

The garden cottage is a charming addition to the property and could provide useful letting or holiday accommodation income.  The former coach house, which is currently used for garaging, offers further re-development opportunities and potential income streams.

 

Duns has been an important Borders town for centuries and remains the administrative centre of the Eastern Borders.  The town boasts some fine architecture including Duns Parish Church and Duns Castle which gives the town its distinctive character whilst its rural surrounds and many open spaces and parks give it a very country town feel.  It hosts a good range of shops, bars and restaurants and both primary and secondary schools.  Indeed a new, state of the art Berwickshire High School is currently under construction at Duns to replace the current Art Deco facility.

 

The larger centre of Berwick upon Tweed provides a full range of services including sports and arts centre, high street banks, national retailers, cafes and bars.  The town also has a mainline railway station on the East Coast line with direct connections to Edinburgh and Newcastle (approximately 45 mins) and London (approximately 3½ hours).

 

Both the A1(T) and the A68 allow easy car travel to the capital and its international airport
