Birgham, Coldstream

Enjoying the best of town and country, Castleview is a unique architect designed home offering exceptional accommodation with a stylish finish and generous outdoor space, striking the ideal balance between rural living and modern amenities being placed to the edge of the village of Birgham; with the towns of Kelso and Berwick-Upon-Tweed close to hand and providing excellent amenities and transport links.

With an attractive garden frontage, wrapping around the property and framed with traditional stone walling and a neat lawn, a generous drive with plenty of parking and turning space leads to the double garage. The main entrance opens to a welcoming hallway connecting the ground level accommodation, and extends to a choice of versatile public rooms, including a beautiful dual aspect lounge with feature wall mounted fire and an elegant décor, with a home office or dining room positioned across the hall – also providing scope for future proofing as a ground level double bedroom, with the modern shower room set adjacent. A wonderful family dining kitchen overlooks the rear garden, with French doors extending the entertaining space to the covered deck. The kitchen is finished with a range of quality wall and base units, with a Belfast sink and induction hob, and allows for generous space for a large dining table – perfect for hosting family and friends. Practical elements are well catered for with the property including in-built storage throughout, as well as a fitted utility room with connecting door to the integrated garage.

Upstairs, the luxurious proportions continue; a guest suite is set to the far end of the landing, and is a wonderful king sized bedroom with a bright dual aspect. Four further double bedrooms and the stylish family bathroom, complete with rolltop bath and walk-in shower, are accessed from the landing, all beautifully finished in neutral tones. This includes the master bedroom which boasts a wonderful view over the garden and beautiful countryside beyond, enjoyed from a Juliet balcony, with the benefit of an ensuite shower room.


With rolling fields to the rear and a panorama of open countryside, the property is named in homage to the striking 12th Century Hume Castle, visible in the distance along the hill tops. The garden is a fantastic accompaniment to the accommodation, in addition the front section of drive and lawn, the rear garden enjoys fantastic privacy and is fully enclosed and level. Largely laid to lawn, a deck with covered awning is the ideal spot for al fresco days, with great scope for further landscaping as preferred by a purchaser.
