The Cool Chapel Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland

Property Description

If you like homes with bags of character, you’ll love this striking apartment. Spanning the penthouse floor of a converted 18th-century chapel, this home effortlessly combines style with practicality. Not only is the apartment beautiful, but it’s also fantastically located in the heart of a Northumberland gem, Berwick-upon-Tweed.

We love the combination of sleek, contemporary interiors with the original wooden beams, a nod to the home’s 18th-century past. The Scandi-cool vibes are not accidental – your host spends half the year in Sweden, which becomes clear through the minimalist yet stylish design. It might be chic, but it’s a wonderfully homely and sociable space. You’ll love preparing food together in the large kitchen – listening to music, drinking wine, chopping on the breakfast bar or setting the table. It’s the perfect place for group getaways.

When you want to explore, you’re a short walk from Burwick-upon-Tweed’s town centre. Discover the town’s inspiring galleries, take walks along the river, or head to the beach for a sunny afternoon. In the evenings, settle into a cosy pub for a heartwarming meal before catching a show at the local theatre. Then, make your way home to end the night with a light-hearted film on the smart TV with a warming hot chocolate.
