About the property
‘The Smiddy’ presents a rare opportunity to purchase an exciting development opportunity within the heart of this popular coastal village. With plans in place to convert the former smiddy into a one bed two storey cottage, the finished project will have excellent scope as a commercial holiday let with a strong local trade from the local diving industry and holiday makers alike. The property enjoys coastal views to the rear, not to mention being within walking distance of the beach as well as local amenities. The initial renovations have been started with the building having been re-roofed, the first floor has been installed and the internal stud walls are in place.
Coldingham
Coldingham is a historic Borders village on Scotland's southeast coastline. The village has great local amenities and facilities with a primary school, play-park, community hall, post office and Coldingham Priory which is steeped in history. The fantastic ‘Blue Flag’ Coldingham Beach is also a lovely all year round local attraction for surfers and holiday makers. A short distance north is the village of St. Abbs where there is a wonderful Nature Reserve and Bird Sanctuary. The walk from Coldingham to St. Abbs is simply stunning and is highly recommended. The area also has some of the best diving in the UK and attracts divers from all over the world. A short distance away is the fishing town of Eyemouth which has a modern high school and 18-hole golf course.
