Location

Letham Shank Farm Cottage is situated at the top of Paxton Road, just off the popular residential area of Castle Terrace and is within close proximity to a wide range of local amenities such as national supermarkets, schooling, a range of cafes, shops and restaurants. Berwick has a selection of leisure and sports clubs and the Barracks which is temporarily being utilised as a local cinema. The mainline railway station has regular trains to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London. The A1 trunk road, which bypasses the town provides easy access to both north and south respectively.

The local area has a wide range of popular attractions and activities including Northumberland and Berwickshire’s rugged coastline of unspoilt beaches and beautiful landscapes; Berwick walls and pier are only minutes away while Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, Bamburgh Castle and the ancient Border towns of Coldstream, Kelso and Melrose are within easy reach. Country and sporting pursuits are also readily available, including hill walking, salmon and trout fishing, riding, hunting and shooting. Golf is available locally; within five minutes walk lies Berwick Golf Course and other courses can be found at Goswick and Eyemouth.

Despite Berwick’s proximity to both Edinburgh and Newcastle, the area has a low population and can therefore offer a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.
