Situation

Beachcomber is located on the St Helens Terrace, only a few meters from Spittal Beach and within a short walk from a number of local amenities. Further amenities can be found across the river in Historic market town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, which is famous for its stunning architecture including the dramatic Elizabethan town walls, its river estuary and long sandy beaches and is popular with its resident and many tourists alike who visit the town throughout the year. There are a good range of amenities including five national supermarkets, good restaurants, cafés, hotels and pubs and a wide selection of boutiques and shops. The town also has a thriving cultural scene with art galleries, a theatre and cinema, museums, a film and media arts festival and food festival. For those looking for an active lifestyle there is a popular leisure center with a swimming pool, gyms, a football and rugby club, speedway, many golf courses locally and plenty of water-based sports and activities both on the Tweed and on the coast.

Berwick also has wonderful coastal and countryside walks on the doorstep with hiking, rambling and mountain biking being very popular. For schooling there are nursery, primary, middle and high schools that serve the town and private schooling is available at Longridge Towers which is nearby. For those looking to commute, travel and shop, the mainline railway station in the town offers regular services to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London; both Edinburgh and Newcastle are under an hour travel time and London is approximately three hours and twenty minutes. There is also the A1 trunk road which bypasses the town and provides easy access both north and south respectively. Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, Bamburgh Castle and the ancient Border towns of Coldstream, Kelso and Melrose are also within easy reach. 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.
