A delightful Regency apartment on the walls

Smiths Gore’s Berwick Office are marketing 4 Greenside Avenue, a delightful Regency three bedroom upper apartment with a wealth of period features on the Elizabethan walls of the market town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland.

4 Greenside Avenue is the upper floor of a traditional stone built town house in a fabulous location within the Conservation Area formed by the Elizabethan Battlement walls of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Built around 1812, the character property provides well proportioned accommodation, retaining a wealth of original features, including stripped wooden four-panel doors, period fireplaces and sash windows throughout, whilst also benefiting from gas central heating and secondary glazing. There is a shared garden to the rear.

The vibrant market town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is situated on the Northumberland coast, 2 miles south of the Scottish border, and was once a major strategic point in the wars between England and Scotland. The architecture of the town reflects its past, in particular having fine Elizabethan defensive ramparts, now forming a tranquil walkway around the town, over which the property looks. Sir Nikolaus Pevsner writes that "Berwick is one of the most exciting towns in the country, with scarcely an irritating building anywhere, and the most intricate changes of level."

A wide range of shops and services are provided, as well as a main line railway station with regular services to London, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Edinburgh, whilst the A1(T) bypass also ensures that the attractive countryside of Northumberland and Berwickshire, as well as the cities of Edinburgh (55 miles) and Newcastle-upon-Tyne (60 miles) are easily accessible for shopping, leisure and employment.

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

“4 Greenside Avenue is a charming property with a wealth of period features, making it ideal as a personal or commercial holiday home.

“The location on the fortified walls of Berwick-upon-Tweed make this property a real piece of history.”

4 Greenside Avenue is marketed with a Guide Price of £155,000.
