C‑listed stone detached house circa 1790 with strong period character
A charming C‑listed stone-built detached house dating to circa 1790, 25 Bridge Street combines period character with useful modern upgrades. The home offers flexible family accommodation across two floors: a bright sitting room with wood-burning stove, a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room, and a ground-floor bedroom that can double as a second sitting room for guests or multi-generational living.
Upstairs there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, a small study area and a shower room, while additional kitchenette/utility and shower facilities create scope for semi-independent living. Outside, well-tended gardens sweep around the property with mature planting, an apple tree, raised beds and a deck, plus a gated private driveway for off-street parking.
Practical benefits include no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making the house suitable for home working and modern family life. The property’s location close to the River Tyne and town amenities provides easy access to shops, schools and transport links to Edinburgh.
Important considerations: the C‑listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate planning or refurbishment works; maintenance and specialist repair costs for a historic building should be expected. Council tax is described as expensive and the wider area is noted as having high deprivation, which may be relevant for some buyers.
