click for bigger picture St Andrew's House is a former Victorian schoolhouse (later a church hall) that has been converted into a unique and beautiful home. It has a stunning 30-feet long galleried living room, and comfortable, well appointed accommodation. The house is situated in a secluded and tranquil position close to Berwick's town centre, nestling into its famous Elizabethan ramparts. St Andrew's has a charming terraced garden and patio areas for sitting out. There is off road parking, full central heating, and double glazing throughout.
From the house you can walk all the way round the ramparts, which provide fantastic views along the coast, up the Tweed estuary, and over the town itself. Berwick itself offers a range of coffee shops, restaurants, bars, shops, and a theatre/cinema, as well as lovely walks to the beach and along the river. Further afield, there is plenty to explore – the Northumbrian coast and castles, the Cheviot hills, and nearby Holy Island. The rail station is a short walk away, with regular fast trains to Edinburgh and Newcastle.
