Description

With fabulously cosy accommodation, huge open fires and constant entertainment from the ever-changing vista of the river and its inhabitants - ducks, geese, moorhens, herons, and a family of otters to name but a few - this is the perfect rural retreat.

The house is well presented with earthy paint colours, traditional stone fireplaces, slate floors, pure wool carpets, luxurious fabrics and an interesting mixture of contemporary furnishings alongside some classic antique items. One of the highlights of the renovations is the 26' dining room with a fabulous open fire at one end and stunning views over the river - perfect for atmospheric dinner parties.

The house is situated half a mile from the pretty village of Norham, a finalist for England's Favourite Village Award and famous for its imposing Norman castle ruins. The village has a local shop, bakery, two pubs, gunsmith and the celebrated Foreman's Butcher, selling a fantastic selection of meats, pies, local cheeses, wines and even fishing flies.

With fishing on one of the greatest salmon rivers a decent roll cast from the bedroom window, The Boathouse is an ideal base for fishing parties. Fishing on the Boathouse beat in front of the house can be arranged at additional cost.

Location

Nestled on the south bank of the River Tweed, Norham is a historic gem of the Borderlands. Surrounded by picturesque landscapes and filled with echoes of its rich past, the village is home to the impressive ruins of the 12th-century Norham Castle, once beseiged by Robert the Bruce, as well as miles of scenic walking and cycling routes.

Visitors can enjoy the local butcher, bakery, village shop, and traditional pub which is the perfect place to unwind by the fire after a day spent exploring. There's plenty to interest enthusiasts of fishing, walking and history, from the evocative castle ruins to the banks of the salmon-filled River Tweed.

A short journey from Norham will bring you to the Elizabethan walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, where you'll find independent shops, restaurants, and art galleries, as well as fast trains travelling to Edinburgh and London. The attractions of the wider area are also within easy reach, from the scenic Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the fascinating ruined abbeys of the Scottish Borders.
