Property description


Oak Lodge is an exceptional detached family home, beautifully designed and finished to a high standard. Set within the prestigious Castle Hills area of Berwick-upon-Tweed, this modern home offers generous living space, stylish interiors, and open views of the surrounding countryside.

A welcoming entrance vestibule leads into a bright reception hallway, where the warmth of oak finishes flows throughout the home, reflecting its name and character. The spacious open-plan sitting and dining room is the heart of the property, filled with natural light from triple bi-fold doors to the rear and three large windows to the front. A feature log-burning stove creates a cosy focal point and a wonderful atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining.

The contemporary kitchen features sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a double window overlooking the rear garden.

There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in storage, and a family bathroom fitted with a four-piece suite including a bath and walk-in shower.

Externally, Oak Lodge is approached via a block-paved driveway providing ample parking and access to the garage. The enclosed rear garden has been thoughtfully redesigned within the past two years, featuring a new terrace and lawn area.

This charming area combines the convenience of town living with the serenity of its historic surroundings. Castle Terrace is known for its elegant homes and offers stunning views over the town and coastline.
