Situation

Tweed View House sits in an elevated position at the top of the village green in East Ord with views across the green and over the countryside beyond. The village of East Ord has a popular garden centre with a café and restaurant and there is a nearby bar and restaurant, all within easy walking distance. East Ord lies just to the south of England’s most northerly market town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. This historic town with its Elizabethan walls and Georgian architecture offers a wide range of local and national shopping facilities, including six national supermarkets, banks and numerous retailers. Berwick Upon Tweed also has schooling for all ages as well as a long-established private school called Longridge Towers which is within a short two mile drive. Berwick also has an arts theatre and cinema, a number of sports clubs, restaurants and public houses serving real ale.

Berwick is well served for commuting options throughout the country; it has a mainline railway station that connects to both Edinburgh and Newcastle in circa 45 minutes and London in circa 3.5 hours. The A1 trunk road also provides good road access to both north and south.

North Northumberland is a beautiful county and offers diverse landscapes from its Heritage Coastline with miles of un-spoilt beaches and areas of historical interest such as Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle and the Farne Islands, whilst inland are the Cheviot Hills and the rolling countryside of national parks. To the north is the Scottish Borders renowned for its shooting and fishing.

Description

Built in the early part of the nineteenth century, this stone-built period family home offers generous and very versatile living accommodation over two floors and a delightful fully enclosed south-facing rear garden. The house has a beautiful approach from the main East Ord village road, up along the tree-lined avenue through the green and then along a short lane to the front of the house, where there is a mono-block private parking area providing off-street parking.

Ground Floor

The front door is sheltered by an attractive exposed timber porch with a stone base. The front door opens into a welcoming and spacious hall with two storage cupboards and stairs rising to the first floor. There are two reception rooms at the front of the house, both a good size. The dining room has a dual aspect with windows to the front and side and a charming ceiling rose and lovely views over the green. The sitting room also has lovely far-reaching views and has an open fireplace with a timber surround and mantle and ceramic tiled hearth, perfect for cosy winter evenings. There is an ornate ceiling rose and a picture rail around the room. Off the sitting room through glazed double doors is the south-facing sunroom, with windows overlooking the courtyard with garden beyond and a door leading outside, a real sun trap. The kitchen-dining room is to the rear of the property with two windows to the side of the house and is fitted with a contemporary range of Shaker style fitted floor and wall-mounted units with countertops over. There is a composite sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap, a fitted electric oven with an induction hob and extractor hood over. Off the kitchen is a utility/larder room with a window to the side and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a dryer. There is also shelving for the storage of dry goods. A door to the rear of the kitchen leads into a hall with a cloakroom and a door giving access to the side and rear of the house.

First Floor

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, all of which are en-suite, ideal for a large family, visiting friends and relatives or even to derive income from a B&B if desired. All of the en-suites have mains showers and one is fitted with a bath tub.

Second Floor

Stairs rise from the first-floor landing to a door giving access to a large attic space, currently used for storage but with the potential to create further accommodation subject to planning.

Outside

To the front of the house is a mono-block driveway providing off-street parking and a path leads to one side around to the rear of the property. AT the back of the house is a courtyard with a timber store, with a solid floor and fitted with electric and light. Charming stone steps lead up to a generous and very private south-facing rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and fully enclosed with mature borders. There is a timber outbuilding with bi-fold doors fitted with power and light, ideal as a home office, gym or workshop. There is also an area next to the outbuilding with a fitted timber base that could be used to create a lovely decked area or used as a base for another outbuilding, having power running to it.
