With an increasing number of families moving to rural locations on the Edinburgh commuter belt, there is rising demand for properties in the sought-after East-Lothian town of Dunbar. 

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a stunning four-bedroom detached house which has been extended and upgraded by the current owners to create a wonderful family home with beautiful sea views and plenty of room for entertaining. 

The house is entered via double wooden gates leading to the main house and comprises of a vestibule, hall, double aspect kitchen/dining room with vaulted ceiling, ample room for dining and relaxing and double doors leading out to a decked area and private gardens. 

The living room has a feature fireplace with log burning stove and the family room has views across the fields to Thorntonloch Beach, and triple bi-fold doors leading to a further decked area. A double bedroom and family bathroom with freestanding bath complete the ground floor accommodation.  

On the first floor there is a main bedroom with an ensuite shower room, as well as two further double bedrooms and a shower room. 

The well-maintained gardens of the property have a lot to offer buyers, with a fully-insulated bespoke summer house containing a log burner. Another log burner can be found in the garden snug which would be ideal as a home office. A triple garage, with electric doors, has room for four cars and provides a high-level storage space. Above the garaging is a mews apartment, accessed via an external spiral staircase, and consists of a large, open plan living room/dining room/kitchen with a double bedroom and shower room off. The garage and mews apartment has dual climate control installed. 

Dunbar is a vibrant town that is surrounded by fantastic scenery and has a real sense of community. It has a great selection of outdoor activities for families or young professionals including two golf courses, beautiful sandy beaches, spectacular cliff top walks and the John Muir Country Park. There is also a bustling high street with an excellent selection of independent and artisan shops, restaurants and galleries.
