About this property

A fabulous, former stable block conversion, built using two coach houses and a four-storey central tower, situated around a sympathetically renovated courtyard, in the sleepy Borders town of Coldstream. Built in the late 1700s on the rural outskirts of the Hirsel Estate, this spacious conversion beautifully combines modern living with original character to offer four bedrooms, and two sitting rooms, each with a balcony offering lovely views over the courtyard. Take a riverside walk, fish on the famous River Tweed or visit Coldstream's great 18-hole golf course. With Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed close by, this is an ideal property, any time of year. EPC Rating: Band C

The pretty town of Coldstream sits on the northern bank of the river Tweed and is famous as the home of the Coldstream Guards. As a former rival to Gretna Green, this charming little town performed its fair share of illicit marriages. With a museum dedicated to its famous guards, a wide variety of shops and facilities for horse riding, golfing and fishing nearby, this historic settlement has something for everyone to do. The picturesque estate of The Hirsel is set to the west of the town and was once home to former Prime Minister, Alec Douglas. The estate is now a great spot for bird watching and many species choose to nest there. The Scottish borders and the rest of Northumberland are all within easy driving distance, making this a great location for people looking to explore the wider area.
