Red Lion Apartment, Ayton, TD14

Located in the heart of this increasingly popular Berwickshire Village, Red Lion Apartment forms the entire top floor of this highly attractive converted stone building. The lofty penthouse style apartment offers generous proportions and excellent levels of natural light which is further emphasised by the recently upgraded clean and crisp décor. The modern interior offers an impressive open plan living space which features a large rear dormer window commanding a super view of Ayton and the surrounding countryside. The low maintenance nature of this property make it an ideal prospect for those seeking a low maintenance main residence, or equally well suited as a weekend bolthole.

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 and lies within a few miles of Reston train station 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.
