SITUATION Mount Alban lies in a peaceful setting with a southerly aspect overlooking the Berwickshire countryside to Cheviot. It is a short distance to the villages of Reston and Coldingham which both have village stores and post offices as well as local primary schools which feed into the nearby Eyemouth High School. Independent schooling is available locally at Longridge School in Berwick-upon-Tweed. In addition to the village store, Coldingham also has two lively pubs along with a restaurant and fish and chip shop. Berwick-upon-Tweed and Eyemouth both offer a broad range of supermarkets, shops and professional services and are only a short drive away.

There are wonderful cliff top walks at St Abb’s Head and sandy beaches at Coldingham Bay and Cove. The Berwickshire Coastal Path offers beautiful walks along the rugged coastline. The property is well placed to take advantage of a variety of recreational pastimes and country pursuits including horse riding, golfing, fishing and shooting. The area is also rich in historical places of interest.

The A1 trunk road offers a fast road link north to Edinburgh and south to Berwick-upon- Tweed which also has a railway station served by the East Coast main line which connects London to the north. Momentum is increasing for the reopening of the station at Reston which would provide an excellent commuter link to Edinburgh. DESCRIPTION the pantry.
