Kittiwake, 42A Church Street, Eyemouth

*CLOSING DATE SET – WEDNESDAY 3RD MAY AT 12 NOON*

With both the beach and harbour just around the corner, Kittiwake is a perfectly placed town centre bolthole. Having been used by the current owners as a weekend retreat as well as running as a commercial holiday let, this is a great opportunity for those looking for a similar venture; the business is established and ready for the new owner to simply take over the reins. That said for a first time buyer or couple looking for an easy to maintain home, Kittiwake would be the perfect property. Unusually for a property so close to the town centre, Kittiwake boasts a private suntrap patio garden to the rear in addition to a very quirky converted cellar/bunker believed to have originally formed part of a hidden tunnel network used by smugglers; now a great games or media room.

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. In Spring 2022 the new train station at nearby Reston was opened and offers regular rail connections to Edinburgh Waverly. 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.

Accommodation

The open plan arrangement of the lounge and kitchen works perfectly; a sociable room with a cosy lounge area to the front with windows on to Church Street and a well-appointed kitchen and dining area towards the rear. Across the hallway is the recently fitted shower room; very smartly finished with a large walk in shower cubicle and the double bedroom is a bright and airy room of pleasant proportions. From the bedroom a small hall leads into the converted bunker; a great space that runs the length of the apartment; ideal for use as a games room or media/cinema room. That said, many of those that book the property for a holiday use this space as a secure store room for diving, surfing and cycling equipment, all of which this area is renowned for.

External

Steps within the apartment lead to an external door opening to the fantastic patio garden. Completely private and sheltered this is a real sun trap and provides ample space for BBQ’s, external furniture etc.
