The property
Hammerhall Smiddy is a truly impressive four bedroom house enjoying a fantastic country location in the heart of rural Berwickshire located within easy reach of the main rail line at Berwick-upon-Tweed, ideal for those needing to travel to Edinburgh or London. The property is a unique contemporary design and within a generous plot extending to approximately 1.25 acre with surrounding lawned gardens and panoramic views over the neighbouring countryside. The property hits the button for those looking for something different and delivers on the ‘wow’ factor, particularly within the pentagonal kitchen/dayroom with its vaulted ceiling and cupola, not to mention the attractive conservatory frontage that greets you as travel up the private driveway. The layout has been cleverly planned with the master bedroom suite being peacefully located away from the other bedrooms, making this property ideally suited as a main family home but also with excellent scope for those looking to run a B&B in a stunning location.
