An exceptional garden villa forming part of this impressive former mansion house just a stone’s throw away from the highly desirable coastal village of Coldingham
Press Castle is an imposing former mansion house which lies within a short distance of the highly desirable coastal village of Coldingham, famed for its award winning bay. Positioned on the lower ground floor of the building, 7 Press Castle is a fantastic garden villa with outlooks and direct access to its own private area of walled gardens. The interior offers some fabulous period features, not least the impressive feature fireplace and bay window in the lounge; these marry perfectly with some of the more modern aspects of the accommodation including the recently re-fitted shower room and modern kitchen. With no restrictions on use, the property is likely to attract interest from a range of buyers including those seeking a period property main residence, a weekend bolthole for coastal escapes or perhaps as a exciting commercial holiday let venture.
Coldingham is a historic Borders village on Scotland's southeast coastline. The village has great local amenities and facilities with a primary school, play-park, community hall, post office and Coldingham Priory which is steeped in history. The fantastic ‘Blue Flag’ Coldingham Beach is also a lovely all year round local attraction for surfers and holiday makers. A short distance north is the village of St. Abbs where there is a wonderful Nature Reserve and Bird Sanctuary. The cliff top walk from Coldingham to St. Abbs is simply stunning and is highly recommended. The area also has some of the best diving in the UK and attracts divers from all over the world. A short distance away is the fishing town of Eyemouth which has a modern high school and 18-hole golf course. Ten miles south, along the A1, is the historic walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed with a main line train station, while Edinburgh is within easy commuting distance to the north.

Rear Hall/Utility Room, Breakfasting Kitchen, Lounge with Dining Area, Three Double Bedrooms and Shower Room
Steps from the parking area lead down to number 7 which is located at lower ground level and benefits from its own private entrance. The lounge is a fabulous period room which enjoys great natural light and a lovely aspect from the impressive bay window. The room is centred around a magnificent feature fireplace which houses a log burning stove whilst there is ample space towards the rear of the lounge for dining. Fitted with an excellent range of modern units, the breakfasting kitchen is well appointed and connects to the rear hall/utility room beyond. All three bedrooms are bright and airy double rooms; each has a lovely aspect over the surrounding grounds and provide space for free standing wardrobes etc. Having been recent refitted, the shower room hosts a modern three piece suite with large shower cubicle and wet wall panelling. An internal door within the central hall of the apartment does give secure access to/from the main reception hall of the mansion house on the upper ground level.
An area of private walled garden lies immediately to the side of number 7; a wonderful space that is mainly laid to lawn and benefits from sun for much of the day. This private area allows the owners of number 7 a rare opportunity to maintain and landscape their own garden to suit their tastes whilst still benefitting from access to the remainder of the communal grounds. The sweeping driveway extends around the building to a large area of residents parking next to the main entrance.
