Situation

Homefield occupies a delightful rural yet accessible location, on the periphery of the sought-after village of Coldingham with stunning uninterrupted sea views.

The village of Coldingham offers basic local amenities including two public houses, village shop, a primary school and a very good local butcher. Coldingham Bay and St Abbs which are further down the road are renowned for their beautiful sandy beaches and coastal walks and the area has been designated AONB (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

Further up the coast 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 banks. 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 Malting 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 3 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 the 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 famous 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.

Description

Homefield is a delightful detached period cottage positioned on the edge of the sought-after coastal village of Coldingham, famous for its beautiful sandy bay. The cottage dates back to the eighteenth-century and stands on private grounds extending to approximately an acre, affording a high degree of privacy and sea views. The cottage also has a detached bothy that has the potential to convert into a separate cottage, subject to planning permission. The land could also have the potential to build a separate dwelling, again subject to planning permission. The property is approached from the road up a long private lane to the cottage. The front door opens into the hall giving access to all of the ground floor accommodation. The sitting room is a lovely reception room with windows to the front, side and rear of the cottage providing ample natural light. The room has exposed timber beams and a charming open fireplace, with ceramic surround and hearth and timber surround and mantle, perfect for cosy winter evenings. The dining room is another bright and spacious reception room with windows to the front and side, a ceramic tiled floor and stairs rising to the first floor. The room has a inglenook with an old range and exposed timber beams. The kitchen is to the rear of the cottage with a window and a door leading out to the garden.
