2 Netherbyres House Eyemouth, Scottish Borders, TD14 5SE Description Netherbyres House, a former Care Home, is a Category B listed house built in the Tudor Jacobean style situated in its own grounds on the outskirts of the Berwickshire fishing town of Eyemouth. The current house, built on the site of an earlier house, by Captain Sir Samuel Brown in 1835 and designed by Edinburgh architect George Angus, was sympathetically extended in the 1860 s. A further rear addition was made later when an approach to the house was designed via a now demolished suspension bridge across the Eye Water. The house is built of sandstone and is rendered on two elevations. The property has basement, ground and first floors, together with attic rooms. The main house has a fine hallway with a central staircase and long gallery above, and many other original features. The house was gifted to The Gardeners Royal Benevolent Society and converted in 1991 to provide a Care Home with accommodation for up to twenty one residents in thirteen bedrooms, five single and eight double, all with en-suite facilities. In addition to these rooms there are communal sitting rooms, a dining room and kitchen, two guest bedrooms suites, offices and a wardens flat in the basement. The house has been maintained by its current owners, Leonard Cheshire Disability as a Care Home with all the necessary services and facilities including lift access. The property has an area of lawned garden to the east, a large car park and a further area of lawned garden to the front, and sits within the original walled parkland (which has been retained by the original owners).

The area has world famous salmon fishing on the River Tweed, a range of golf courses and links, race courses and opportunities for a variety of field sports.
