The Meeting House
A superb, contemporary apartment in the centre of the historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed with excellent amenities and easy access to the stunning beaches of the Northumberland coast.
The contemporary design skillfully maintains the integrity of the original building with period details including characterful domed windows and original beams.
Inside, the apartment is exceptionally light and bright, finished in soft Farrow & Ball tones in keeping with its seaside location. Lovely locally sourced items offer a hint of what sits on doorstep with friendly independent galleries and shops, along with new artisan coffee shops and lunch stops.
The open plan living space is framed by the original arched window which floods the area with natural light, while a living flame fire adds a focal point to the room when cosy nights-in beckon.
The kitchen is extremely well equipped with high quality items from Le Creuset while the Nespresso machine will be a welcome touch for a lazy morning coffee overlooking the distinctive red pantile rooftops.
The apartment benefits from two bedrooms – one double and one single, each presented with crisp linens and homely warming touches.
On the doorstep, Berwick has a huge amount to offer with superb architecture and cultural events or the simple enjoyment of traditional fish and chips from the quayside.
Head to the beach for perfect walks and the freedom of wide open sands, watch dolphins from the Chandlery, or why not enjoy the wind in your hair and take a boat tour across the bay or up to Paxton House taking in the sights and sounds of this wonderful area.

Location
Sitting just off the A1, the Apartment is perfectly located for short breaks or longer stays throughout any season and provides an excellent base to explore the wider Northumberland and Borders area. With the main East Coast Rail Line running through Berwick it is also an ideal car-free destination served by good local services.
Sitting within the town centre, the property benefits from excellent amenities right on the doorstep. Starting off on Marygate, the town’s main street, you will find a mix of high street names along with local traders. Continuing onto Castlegate you will find a selection of characterful shops including a book shop, antique centre, and a butcher, as well as ‘Pier Red’ where you can sip a rich espresso whilst browsing artworks and collectables by popular Northern artists. Also look out for their live music evenings where you can unwind to the smooth, mellow sounds of talented local musicians.
Alternatively head to Bridge Street, where a thriving street full of small independent names and quirky shops can be found. From an eco-friendly retail shop and wool studio to a music shop and gallery, there is something for everyone on this community lead street. Popular deli The Mule on Rouge will delight the foodie amongst you, along with Atelier and Mavi Turskish Restaurant, which offer scrumptious evening dining. Enjoy craft beers and fine wines at The Curfew Micropub, a popular spot for the locals, but the small doorway on Bridge Street is easily missed by newcomers.
For further food delights, you will not be short for options. The area has a rich food heritage and there is something to cater for all tastes and budgets here. Enjoy tasty fish and chips on the promenade, cosy pubs, characterful cafes including Northern Edge Coffee and The Corner House, or bistro restaurants such as The Maltings Kitchen and The Queen's Head serving tempting light-bites or a pre-theatre dinner.
Three large supermarkets including a Marks & Spencers food outlet sit on the edge of town. Alternatively, why not pop the wine in the fridge and arrange for a platter of seafood to be delivered straight to your door by the Berwick Shellfish Company - oysters reared in the clear North Sea beds of Lindisfarne, lightly smoked kippers from traditional local smokehouses, or perhaps some freshly dressed lobster or langoustines - perfect for a romantic evening in!
