Riverlaw is an elegant and practical family home set in an elevated position on the banks of the River Tweed, in the popular North Northumberland village of Norham. Built in 1998, the property is approached down a private driveway off North Lane to a large parking area to the side of the house and in front of the integral double garage. Riverlaw offers generous and versatile accommodation starting with the family sitting room which is positioned at the front of the house. The sitting room offers an open fire, a bay window and an internal door which leads to the garden room, conservatory and kitchen / dining room. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units, views over the back garden and is a social space, ideal for entertaining. The principal bedroom offers an en-suite bathroom with free standing shower and a bank of wardrobes. The other 3 bedrooms are supported by a family bathroom. Above the bedroom accommodation is a large games room which is accessed via a stair off the central hallway. At the rear of the house and off the kitchen is a rear hall which gives access to a home office, a utility room, a W.C and the integral double garage.
Riverlaw sits centrally in particularly beautiful and mature garden grounds. Beyond the garden is a paddock of about 1.30 acres. Currently enjoyed as a haven for wildlife, it runs all the way down to the River Tweed and although there are no associated rights over the river, it is a stunning area to enjoy.

Area Insights
Riverlaw is positioned just off North Lane in the charming village of Norham. The village lies on the northern edge of Northumberland, close to the market town of Berwick upon Tweed. The village sits on the banks of the River Tweed and is framed around a pretty village green. Norham is a thriving village with a wholesome community offering a wide range of events and clubs from fishing on the Tweed to a Historical society. A full list of events and clubs can be found on the Norham Life website (https://www.norhamlife.co.uk). Although nearby Berwick upon Tweed offers an excellent range of national supermarkets and services, the Village of Norham has a fantastic local shop, regionally renowned butcher, baker, two public houses and even a gun shop which would all love your support. The village also offers a very highly regarded primary school, a doctor’s surgery on the village green, a daily postal van and a very well attended fish and chip van every Thursday evening.
Eight miles east of Norham is the nearby market town of Berwick upon Tweed which has further amenities and services including a wealth of cafes and restaurants, the Maltings Theatre and Cinema, a good choice of doctors and dental surgeries as well as a local hospital. There is also schooling for all ages including the well regarded private school of Longridge Towers.
The region offers a range of popular attractions, including historical castles and villages to explore and a particularly stunning coastline to enjoy. For those who enjoy slightly more challenging walking opportunities, the Northumberland National Park and Cheviot Hills are within a short drive. Permits for fly and bait fishing for trout and coarse fish are available at Ladykirk and Norham.
Berwick upon Tweed offers a mainline railway station which has regular trains to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London. Both Edinburgh and Newcastle are sub one hour travel time and London is circa 3 hours and 45 minutes. There is also the A1 trunk road which bypasses the town and provides easy access to both north and south respectively.
