Victorian splendour with stunning sea views

Smiths Gore’s Berwick Office is marketing Lindisfarne, an elegant Victorian stone terraced property adjacent to the Promenade, with panoramic sea views to the front and garage and garden to the rear.

Lindisfarne is a delightful property, set on the Victorian promenade of Spittal with spectacular views along the coast from Bamburgh to Berwick. The property is in a much sought after location with potential to make a lovely family home or ideal for a holiday home. The property has retained some period detailing such as high ceilings, ornate stripped balustrade and four-panel wooden doors whilst benefiting from gas central heating and double glazing.

Spittal is a small fishing village on the south side of the Tweed Estuary in Northumberland. The village is so-called because it is the site of the medieval hospital of St Bartholomew. Spittal was a popular day out by train for Victorian holidaymakers wishing to enjoy the sandy beaches and the restorative waters of the spa well. Spittal Promenade was built in 1892 and has been recently restored to its former glory, now forming part of the Lowry trail, showing paintings of local life by the artist best known for his matchstick men scenes.

The surrounding area has a wealth of opportunities for the recreational enthusiast, with both the Northumberland Coast Path, a breathtaking 64 mile coastal walking route, and National Cycle Route 1 running along Spittal Promenade. The River Tweed is famed as a salmon river and Tweed salmon have been sent to be sold in London for centuries.

Barbara Pentecost, selling agent at Smiths Gore’s Berwick says:

“Spittal is a charming seaside village with a range of small shops and facilities, including a First School. Further facilities are available at nearby Berwick-upon-Tweed (2.5 miles), a vibrant market town with regular rail services to London, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Edinburgh.”

Lindisfarne is marketed with a Guide Price of £249,950.
