A Georgian English House Restored To Its Former Glory

In the northernmost town in England, Berwick-upon-Tweed, stands this lovely 18th-century townhouse where the materials and details embrace the Georgian history of the building.

The 1640-square-foot house was originally built in 1760 as a merchant’s house, but in the 19th century, alterations were made. Recently, the home has been restored and reinstated to its former glory, creating a charming home with lots of period details and an inviting atmosphere.

The long, narrow hall on the ground floor opens into the dining/sitting room and the kitchen in the back. The dining room has beautiful dark blue wall paneling, a restored chimneypiece, and original shutters.
