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
At the most northerly tip of Northumberland lies Berwick-upon-Tweed. A walled town on the England-Scotland border with a turbulent past, it has been captured or sacked over a dozen times throughout history. Built to keep invading Scots from entering the town, a walk along these Elizabethan walls offers spectacular views across the River Tweed estuary and Berwick’s most famous landmark, The Royal Border Bridge. Fast trains between Edinburgh and London stop at Berwick-upon-Tweed, making it an ideal place for a coastal getaway without a car.
Artist L.S. Lowry was a huge fan of Berwick and there is a specially-curated Lowry Trail to explore, the town being home to a thriving arts and cultural scene. The area also has a rich food heritage and there is something to cater for all tastes and budgets, from fish and chips – best enjoyed on the promenade – to cosy pubs and cafés.
In addition to its fascinating history and Georgian architecture, the wider area boasts mile upon mile of fantastic beaches just made for lazy picnics and outdoor adventures. Spittal beach is popular with families, while the beautiful Cocklawburn, Goswick and Cheswick beaches all sit close by. The stunning sights at Bamburgh and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne are also both less than half an hour’s drive away.
