Harbour Retreat, George Street, Eyemouth

Quietly tucked away into one of Eyemouth’s quaint side street’s, Harbour Retreat is excellently placed and lies only a stone’s throw away from the Beach, Harbour and all town centre facilities. The substantial detached building offers accommodation spanning three floors and provides a fabulous seaside family home. Equally for those seeking a coastal investment property, Harbour Retreat has been running as a successful Airbnb in recent years and offers an obvious opportunity for those looking to do the same. Internally the accommodation is well laid out with nicely sized living accommodation, bedroom and bathroom facilities on all three floors plus two rooms currently serving as ‘staff accommodation’ which could offer possibilities for further development. The outside space offers the perfect spot for summer BBQ’s and entertaining with views towards the Harbour at the bottom of the street, yet the low maintenance nature of the walled patio area, means it’s easy and hassle free to keep.
