4 bed flat for sale

Suite 14, 3 Quay Walls, Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland TD15

Probably the best main door maisonette in Berwick-upon-Tweed. From the outside, this popular quayside building is clearly filled with character with its historic stonework and arched brick lintels, but once inside this property, the living space is a revelation.
Property description


Suite 14,3 Quay Walls is a bright and characterful three / four bedroom main door Maisonette on the ground and first floor located within this popular quayside building. The property offers bright and spacious accommodation with open plan living at its heart.

The property is tucked away in a peaceful spot, yet it’s just a short walk from the town centre with its array of artisan coffee shops, restaurants and wine bars, and is only half a mile from the mainline rail station, so it’s an ideal location if you’re travelling north into Edinburgh or south to Newcastle and beyond.

Upon entering the ground floor, you are warmly welcomed into a small reception area that serves as the central hub of the home, providing access to all rooms on this level. From here, you can access the well-appointed shower room and the three bedrooms: Bedroom 2, a spacious double room; bedroom 3, a smaller double bedroom; and bedroom 4, a comfortable single bedroom / home office. A utility room is also conveniently located on this floor, offering practical space for storage and laundry. The reception area also features a staircase that leads up to the first floor.

The first floor is where the property truly impresses, with a large open-plan layout featuring a sitting area, dining space, and a modern kitchen, all framed by beautiful, exposed wood beams. This expansive living area is flooded with natural light and offers views of the courtyards on either side, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The master suite on this level is also notable as, again, both the bedroom and the en suite bathroom feature these rustic roof beams, while the en suite sits behind a partition wall with opaque glazed panels, retaining privacy while enhancing the feeling of openness. The bathroom has both a shower and a freestanding tub, and the latter is slightly raised, again adding to the distinctive design touches throughout this property.

This home blends historical charm with modern comforts by combining its old-world character, as seen in the original beams and the deep windowsills, with this light and open plan style of living. This is what attracted the current owners to the property.

Outside, the property offers a private parking space and direct access to Quay Walls which provides superb scenic walks around Berwick-upon-Tweed.
