12 The Old Corn Exchange is a modern ground floor apartment set within the former Corn Exchange which was sympathetically converted in the 2000’s into residential apartments. The property is approached through the original gate entrance which leads into a pretty garden courtyard.

A door with an intercom secure-entry system leads into a communal hall and the front door is on the right hand-side. The front door opens into a vestibule with wall-mounted hooks for coats. A door from the vestibule opens into the open plan living and kitchen. There is a window overlooking the courtyard and a window to the rear of the flat. The kitchen has a range of floor and wall-mounted units with counters over, a stainless-steel sink and drainer and integral appliances including electric oven and hob with extractor over, fridge and freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. The bedroom has a window to the rear of the apartment and the shower room next door also has a window to the rear and comprises corner shower, hand basin and WC.

Outside:
The Old Corn Exchange benefits from a delightful inner courtyard providing a communal outside space in which to relax and residents can obtain a permit to park on a nearby street. The property is also close to the town walls with lovely walks on the door-step.

The property is situated on Sandgate in the heart of the old town and next to the historic Elizabethan fortified town walls, with wonderful views over the Tweed estuary and out to sea. Sandgate is adjacent to Hide Hill with restaurants, bars and shops and just a short walk to the bustling high street. Berwick-upon-Tweed is well serviced with local and national shops, boutiques, 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, cafes and The Maltings theatre and cinema. There is a main line railway station which has regular trains to both Edinburgh, Newcastle and London, both Edinburgh and Newcastle are under an hour travel time and London is approximately three hours and twenty minutes away. There is also the A1 trunk road which bypasses the town and provides easy access both north and south respectively. The local area has a wide range of popular attractions and activities including Northumberland and Berwickshire’s rugged coastline with un-spoilt beaches and beautiful landscapes; Berwick walls and pier are only minutes away while Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, Bamburgh Castle and the ancient Border towns of Coldstream, Kelso and Melrose are within easy reach. Country and sporting pursuits are also readily available, including hill walking, salmon and trout fishing, riding, hunting and shooting. Golfing is available locally.

Despite Berwick’s proximity to both Edinburgh and Newcastle, the area has a low population and can therefore offer a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.

There are 24 Units in total. The property is leasehold with a 979 year lease and £118 pcm covers ground rent, building maintenance and insurance.
