General Description
Heathcliffe is a substantial detached family home situated in an elevated position on the western edge of Berwick-upon-Tweed, with spacious accommodation over two principal floors and affording wonderful views over the river Tweed and sea and countryside beyond. The property is accessed from the front door into an entrance vestibule and from here, there is access into the welcoming reception hall which has a staircase to the first floor, ample storage, a cloakroom and doors leading off. The living room is an elegant room, with two large windows to the rear aspect allowing for ample natural light and has a gas fireplace forming the focal point. There are double doors which open to the dining room, which is a generous and versatile space, with a window overlooking the front garden and is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen.
To the front of the house is a well-equipped kitchen, which offers ample storage units, worksurface, integrated appliances and space for a breakfasting table. The sitting room, an additional reception space, is accessed off the hallway, opening to the rear garden and offering spectacular views.
A central staircase leads to the first-floor landing, which has doors leading off to all accommodation on this level. There are three bedrooms, two large doubles and a generous single bedroom, all with built in wardrobes. The bedrooms to the rear of the house benefit from wonderful views over the river Tweed and supporting the bedroom accommodation is a recently re-fitted shower room. The current owners changed a fourth bedroom into a new second bathroom, but if a new owner was ideally looking for a fourth bedroom, this bathroom could be converted back into a bedroom.

The property is approached through timber gates via a private driveway, which offers ample vehicle hard standing and provides access to the double garage, which benefits from a remote-control access door and a utility area at the rear. There are mature, landscaped gardens surrounding the property which are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature shrubs and trees. There are two paved patio areas, ideal for al-fresco dining and supporting the garden is a timber shed and useful drying area.
