Castle Terrace, Berwick-upon-tweed, TD15

We are privileged to offer for sale this nationally significant grade 11 listed Toll House, which was constructed with the implementation of the railway coming to Berwick-upon-Tweed in 1847. It was believed that the property was positioned to restrict access to the railway from the north, with its bay windows overlooking two roads including the significant Great North Road, the Pike Master could clearly view both roads.

The property is located in a prominent position at the bottom of Castle Terrace, providing easy access to local amenities such as the town centre, railway station & river coastal walks. The main elevation faces south-east towards Castle Bridge, and the bay windows on the elevations look up Castle Terrace and North Road. The Toll House had an extension to the rear in 1932, which has not affected the character of the property.

The property is entered into a entrance hall through two leaf doors, from there you are led into a stunning lounge/dining area, with coving on the ceiling, a double window to the front and a deep bay window to the side making it a bright and airy room. Door from the lounge into a well appointed kitchen with quality units with appliances. There is a rear entrance hall with access to the side onto Castle Terrace and a door into a shower room with a modern white three-piece suite. The dual aspect double bedroom offers ample space for furniture, with a bay window to the side and a window to the front. The property has had hand made wooden double glazing installed and full gas central heating.

The present owner has been running a very successful holiday let from the property, however, it would make a magnificent permanent residence, which is within easy walking distance to the railway station and the centre of Berwick-upon-Tweed.

The property is beautifully presented and offers huge character and charm. This property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
