House For Sale £180,000
A fabulous riverside townhouse with first floor balcony which directly overlooks the Whiteadder Water. A great prospect as an easy to maintain, tranquil main residence but also perfectly suited as weekend bolthole or holiday let investment.
As the address suggests, the property forms part of a converted mill which lies within an exclusive development on the banks of the Whiteadder Water. With one of the best positions within the former mill building, the townhouse boasts a balcony to the front which directly overlooks the river and enjoys lovely open outlooks up stream. Internally, spacious accommodation extends over three floors and includes some lovely features, not least the exposed stone wall on the first-second floor staircase in addition to the very sociable open plan layout of the lounge/kitchen/diner which also boasts the balcony. Currently occupied as a main residence, it is ideal for such and perfect for those looking for a low maintenance property in an idyllic location. That said, for those seeking a Berwickshire bolthole from which to escape the hustle and bustle, this would make an ideal ‘lock up and leave’ second home or a well-considered holiday let investment which due to the riverside location is bound to prove popular.
Location
Local shopping, primary and nursery schooling is available at Chirnside with the main shops and the east coast rail connection some nine miles away at Berwick upon Tweed. The county town of Duns is eight miles west with its recently built state of the art secondary school whilst Edinburgh is approx 50 miles and one hour by car via the A1. The area is famous for country pursuits with fishing on the nearby Whiteadder Water and the famous River Tweed and provides ideal walking and horse country in the Cheviot and Lammermuir hills. Equally the Berwickshire coast with its dramatic coast line and lovely selection of beaches is within only a fifteen minute drive.
Directions
Travelling East on the main A6105 road, approximately 1 mile after Chirnside take the turning to the right signposted ‘Edington’. Continue on this road which will wind down the hill into the exclusive riverside development. The Mill Building is the furthest away building beyond the new build properties.
