Journey’s End, High Street, Ayton, Eyemouth

Centrally positioned within the heart of Ayton, Journey’s End offers a rare opportunity to purchase a property in need of renovation and refurbishment. The majority of the work required is cosmetic and as such this is a great prospect for a keen first time buyer, DIY enthusiast or a developer looking for an easy to manage project. The accommodation extends over the first and second floor and currently provides three double bedrooms, although the internal layout could easily be reconfigured to suit requirements. The finished product would make for an excellent main home residence but would also have good rental potential as an investment.

Location

Ayton is a small traditional Borders village which benefits from a good selection of local amenities, while the local primary school has a very good reputation, as does Eyemouth High School which is only a couple of miles away. The beautiful Baronial red sandstone Ayton Castle sits proudly in its well-tended grounds and is open to the public during the summer months, while the local pub and bowling club are perfect for socialising with the local community. The village has excellent access to the A1 which allows easy commuting to Edinburgh to the north and Newcastle to the south, while direct bus routes to Eyemouth, Duns and Berwick-upon-Tweed, with its mainline railway station, provide great public transportation links. Ayton is also within very easy reach of the fabulous Berwickshire Coastline including Coldingham with its iconic bay and beautiful St Abbs .
