House For Sale £385,000
Description
25 Main Street offers the opportunity to purchase a spacious 3/5 bedroomed terraced house within a few minutes' walk of Spittal Beach. Dating back to 1794, the property has been thoughtfully updated to embrace many original features with modern day living.
Accommodation
The front door opens into the entrance hall with a further door leading through to the inner hallway. There are two front facing rooms currently used as double bedrooms, which could equally be used as reception rooms if required. Both have bay windows, and one has the feature of an original brick chimney breast. A hatch can be found on the floor which gives access to a small basement beneath the property. There is a spacious WC with a toilet, a wash basin and a utility area. At the end of the hallway is the living room which has patio doors leading to the garden and a pitched ceiling with Velux windows creating a bright and airy feel. The living room has the benefit of a multi-fuel stove located in the corner of the room with a natural stone hearth. An alcove has been built into one wall providing a neat home for a television which has been cleverly created to hide away all wiring and equipment (accessed via a cupboard in the hallway). At the back of the living room, up wooden steps and through quaint double doors is a beautiful, rustic dining kitchen with an exposed stone chimney breast wall and a vaulted ceiling. Patio doors give access to the garden at the rear and there is a second external door at the other side of the room. The kitchen has traditional wooden kitchen wall and floor units in contrasting pink and green offering ample storage space. There is a multi-fuel stove in the fireplace which is perfect for cosy meals next to the fire over the winter months.
On the staircase to the first floor the interesting feature of an original fireplace built into an exposed brick chimney breast wall gives a nod to the vast history of the building. On the landing you will find two front facing double bedrooms with bay windows and hanging/storage space. There is also a family bathroom with a traditional bathroom suite and an electric 'Mira Sport' shower over the bath. Stairs to the second-floor lead to a large, bright double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom which includes a bath with mixer shower over, a toilet and a wash basin.
The property is tastefully decorated throughout in a mostly neutral palette. It is heated by way of gas central heating and is double glazed throughout.
Outside
The property has a secure garden to the rear with access from the house itself or via School Lane. There is a good-sized workshop and an under-cover bike storage area. At lower level, adjacent to the living room patio doors, is a patio area and there is a lawn with a variety of plants and shrubs at a higher level behind the kitchen. The garden is very private being surrounded by a high wall and fences on all sides and is a sun trap from mid-afternoon to early evening, making it perfect for entertaining and alfresco dining over the summer months.
History
The property dates back to 1794 and is understood to have originally been a village confectioner, a draper and a seller of 'fancy goods', with living accommodation above. The kitchen at the rear is believed to have been an outhouse of sorts and at some time in the past, the living room was added to join the two buildings together creating a substantial family home.
Location
25 Main Street is located within the popular residential village of Spittal just south of the river Tweed. Spittal is known for its promenade and beautiful sandy beach with rugged cliffs. There are services within Spittal and in nearby Tweedmouth by way of a range of shops, pubs, services and schooling options. Berwick upon Tweed, just over the river offers further shops and services. The A1 is close by which gives good access to the national, regional and local road network and there is a railway station in Berwick with regular services on the east coast mainline to Edinburgh, Newcastle upon Tyne and London.
