Coldingham Bay and St Abbs which are renowned for their beautiful sandy beaches and coastal walks are within easy reach and the area has been designated AONB (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty).
Further down the road towards Berwick upon Tweed is the pretty working harbour town of Eyemouth which offers further amenities including a range of local shops, professional services, public houses, restaurants and Post Office. Eyemouth has schooling for all ages including the well-respected and recently built Eyemouth High School. The town offers a good selection of sports clubs and Eyemouth Golf Club is also very well regarded. A lot of the industry in Eyemouth is based around the working harbour, this in turn offers the town a charm and character not found anywhere else.
A short drive away is Berwick-upon-Tweed, famous for its Elizabethan walls and stunning architecture. Berwick has a wide selection of amenities and is well serviced with local and national shops, four or five supermarkets and schooling for all ages including a private school at Longridge Towers. Berwick also has a selection of leisure and sports clubs, banks, public houses, restaurants and The Maltings theatre and cinema which offers daily shows and movies.
The property is well positioned with access onto the A1 trunk road for commuting both north and south to Edinburgh and into England respectively, whilst there are two mainline railway stations in Berwick upon Tweed to the south or Reston, circa 2.5 miles west. There is also an efficient bus services that operates regular services to many of the nearby towns and villages, not to mention Edinburgh and Newcastle.
The local area around Alewater House offers many country and sporting pursuits including hill walking in the Cheviots, salmon, trout or sea fishing, horse riding, diving and shooting. The area is also renowned for its golf courses with Eyemouth, Dunbar and Goswick all within a short drive.
Despite its proximity to both Edinburgh and Newcastle, this part of the world is sparsely populated with much of the area given over to agriculture and therefore offers a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.
General Description
Alewater House is a bespoke family home renovated and extended from an original old dwelling dating from circa 1900. The property offers generous and flexible accommodation over two floors of circa 186 sq. metres and this delightful home occupies a private location, with no neighbours and by virtue of its southerly position, benefits from a light and bright atmosphere throughout.
The house is accessed into a welcoming reception hall, which has a contemporary mixture of glass, steel and natural stone and connects the original stone building and the modern structure, with wooden floors throughout the ground floor.
The open plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the hub of this wonderful home and is flooded with ample natural light. To the eastern end of the living area are bi-fold doors that connect the garden into the home with a decked terrace which wraps around to the south side of the property.
The kitchen is well appointed, with high quality fittings including integrated appliances and a large central island, providing ample storage. There is a convenient utility area and W.C. next to the kitchen, along with a generous under stairs cupboard.
To the western side of the property and contained within the original stone build, there is a double bedroom with a door leading out to an impressive south facing raised terrace. It has a Jack and Jill en-suite shower room that also services an adjacent snug/TV room with French doors which could also lend itself to a fourth bedroom.
Further bedroom accommodation is at first floor level, with two large bedrooms, each with an en-suite and walk in wardrobes. The eastern bedroom has an attractive ‘Juliet’ balcony which overlooks the garden.
The house is heated by way of an oil-fired central heating system and there is solar PV installed from which an income is generated.
Garden Grounds
Alewater House is set in circa 2.76 acres of grounds which are principally to three sides and are a haven for local wildlife. The property is approached via a private gravel driveway which leads to a turning circle, flanked by lawn and shrub beds and there is ample parking.
