Ellerslea, Houndlaw Park, Eyemouth

Located in the heart of Eyemouth and only a stone’s throw away from the town centre amenities and attractions Ellerslea is a really deceptive townhouse. With accommodation extending over three floors and a kitchen extension to the rear, the property offers great scope as a traditional family home. Ellerslea has clearly been lovingly looked after and maintained to a good standard but does now offer scope for some basic upgrading- an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to complete these upgrades in their own time and to their own specification. Usefully the property benefits from a sun trap, low maintenance rear garden plus a garage which is accessed via the lane to the rear.

LOCATION

Eyemouth is steeped in the traditions of the sea with the central harbour and beach proving a popular tourist attraction, while the local area is also admired by sub-aqua divers and walkers. Local facilities, all within easy walking distance include primary and modern secondary schools, health centre, 18-hole golf course, swimming pool and sports centre. Eyemouth is ideally situated for exploring the Berwickshire coastline including the nearby St Abb’s Head Nature Reserve, while the surrounding countryside is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty with rolling hills and plentiful farmland. The A1 trunk road is within 2 miles of the town giving quick and easy access to Edinburgh and Newcastle, while the historic town of Berwick upon Tweed lies some nine miles to the south providing a wide range of supermarkets, larger shops, sporting and entertainment facilities.
