The Dovecote, Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland TD15

A rare opportunity presents itself in the form of this historic Dovecote in Haggerston. A Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade II listed, this structure has been standing here since the 17th Century and was most likely built as a Dovecote although, it is thought to have also been a windmill during part of its life.

Full planning permission has been granted for a new residential dwelling to be developed on this circa 6.5 acre site which would see the Dovecote integrated into a striking modern home as a stunning entrance hall.

This architect designed house will feature open plan living space with open voids above to allow plenty of light to wash over the space. 4 bedrooms will be arranged over ground and first floor with a range of ensuite bathrooms and a family bathroom. Ancillary spaces such as a utility, boiler room and boot rooms to the rear of the ground floor.

From above the property resembles a triangular wedge jutting out of the Dovecote hub, a striking slice of modern glass, timber and zinc colliding with the historic conical stone monument. This truly is a unique opportunity for a Grand Design.

Views afforded to the completed property will be open countryside to the south towards the Cheviot Hills.

We understand that mains electricity and water have been connected up to the site.

Full details of the planning permission can be found on the Northumberland County Council Planning Portal using the reference: 21/00759/ful

The plot is currently grassland and extends to just under 6.5 acres in total.

The Dovecote is situated less than a quarter of a mile to the west of Haggerston Castle and around a 0.2 miles from the A1. Berwick is just 7 miles to the North and, as the closest main town, offers various amenities including doctors and dentist surgeries, shops, schools, bars & restaurants. The Lindisfarne Filling Station incorporates a Londis convenience store and is just 1.5 miles to the south for everyday essentials.
The property will enjoy being in a great location to take advantage of the local countryside, the heritage coastline and a wealth of historic castles, halls and houses, not to mention Holy Island which is only 4.5 miles east.
