Situation

This spacious modern family home is situated in a peaceful mature residential locale that lies on the edge of the pretty harbour town of Eyemouth. The development is very popular with families, young professionals and retirees and is within easy walking distance to amenities, the town centre and harbour. Eyemouth benefits from many amenities including a range of local shops, supermarket, professional services, public houses, cafes and restaurants. Eyemouth has schooling for all ages including the well-respected and recently built Eyemouth High School and a good selection of sports clubs all within walking distance. A lot of the industry in Eyemouth is based around the working harbour, this in turn offers the town a charm and character not found anywhere else. The town has access to miles of unspoilt coastline and beaches and is surrounded by a designated AONB (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) such as Coldingham Bay. Eyemouth also offers easy access inland to the stunning Berwickshire countryside with its rolling hills and stunning views. The nearby river Tweed meanders along the border with England and is famed for its salmon and trout fishing. The property is well positioned with access onto the A1 trunk road for commuting both north and south to Edinburgh and into England respectively, whilst there are two mainline railway station in Berwick upon Tweed 8 miles to the south or Dunbar 23 miles to the north. There is also an efficient bus services that operates regular services to many of the nearby towns and villages, not to mention Edinburgh and Newcastle. Despite Eyemouth’s proximity to both Edinburgh and Berwick upon Tweed, the area has a low population and can therefore offer a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.

Description

This beautifully presented modern detached bungalow was built by the current owners around thirty-six years ago and they have lovingly refurbished and updated the property over the years. The house offers spacious and well-laid out accommodation throughout with high-end fixtures and fittings including Oak floors, solid Oak doors with chrome ironmongery, vertical radiators and a contemporary kitchen, utility room and bathroom. The property is approached over a smart paved driveway providing ample off-street parking. The front opens into a welcoming hall providing access to all accommodation. The sitting room is a generous reception with windows to the front and side. There is a feature fireplace with timber surround and mantle with a gas fire. The kitchen-dining room is another generous space with a window to the side of the house and a range of contemporary fitted floor and wall mounted units with tiled splashbacks. Integral appliances consist an American double fridge freezer with water and ice dispenser, a dish washer, additional fridge and freezer and an impressive range cooker with an eight-ring gas hob and extractor over. Off the kitchen is a rear hall giving access into the garden and there is a cloakroom and a utility room, fitted with a range of high gloss contemporary units and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a dryer. Off the hall is a fantastic sunroom with triple aspect windows offering views of the garden and countryside beyond. This is another large reception space that could be used in multiple ways to suit the owners. The master bedroom has a window to the rear overlooking the garden and has fitted wardrobes. A new owner might wish to create an en-suite for the master, by knocking through into the utility space in the garage next door, which already has plumbing and drainage. This would be relatively straight forward and will add value for re-sale. There are another two bedrooms and a large contemporary bathroom. The bathroom is fully tiled and comprises bath, separate double shower, WC and hand basin with vanity below.

Outside

To the front of the house is a paved driveway providing ample off-street parking, an integral garage with utility space, landscaped gardens to the side and rear which are very private and include a large terrace, separate patio dining area, attractive pond with waterfall, lawn, raised beds, fruit trees, vegetable patch and timber shed.
