Property Description
Tenure: Freehold
A detached stone-built home bursting with history and huge potential for complete refurbishment and possible extension into a charming family home. The property is tucked away in a private position in the heart of Tweedmouth.
The property and immediate grounds previously housed the clay pipe manufacturer Charles Tennant & Son from around 1810 to 1927. From around 1842 the firm of Tennants ran a clay pipe-making business on the grounds of 13 Yard Heads. To access the clay pipe factory there was a small alleyway between what is now The Dockside Gallery and the Cost Cutter store. The alleyway still exists although it is now blocked off by a gate the property has private access to this. The clay for the factory was likely delivered to the Tweed Dock and taken across the road along the alleyway to the pipe making factory itself. The factory had a fire and burnt down in 1915.
