The property

Beautifully presented, this four-bedroom detached stone-built cottage with captivating countryside views presents a rare opportunity for a tranquil, semi-rural lifestyle only minutes from North Berwick, recently voted the best place to live in the UK. Bordering a private gravel driveway, and nestled behind a low stone wall, the charming porch welcomes you into a hallway adorned with wood panelling and wooden flooring. To your left the impressive sitting-dining room enjoys a wonderful south and west-facing aspect ensuring plentiful natural light. With a serene colour palette, louvred white shutters, a log-burning stove, built-in shelving, and handsome wooden flooring it exudes a rustic and cosy charm. Adjoining is a well-appointed kitchen with a delightful rear garden and countryside outlook. A Belfast sink combines with cream wall and floor cabinetry, oak-effect worktops, and an integrated hob, extractor hood, oven, and grill to create the perfect blend of functionality and style. The good-sized utility leading to the garden offers further storage. This floor houses a comfortable south-facing double bedroom and an impressive principal double. Showcasing a tasteful neutral décor, a luxurious en-suite rainfall shower room finished with chic metro tiles and wood panelling, and a dressing room, it is a most relaxing retreat. Completing the thoughtfully designed ground floor layout is a contemporary design-led bathroom equipped with a hidden cistern WC, countertop washbasin, and bath with a wall-mounted shower. Ascending the carpeted stairs and the bright first-floor landing/hall boasts a generous footprint allowing for a home office/study. The two generously proportioned double bedrooms enjoy plenty of light through VELUX windows and with wooden flooring and a crisp décor are most inviting. They share access to a second family bathroom featuring a cast iron chrome towel radiator, a roll-top freestanding bath, shower enclosure, washbasin built into vanity, and a hidden cistern WC. Externally, the enclosed rear garden with a panoramic view of the natural landscape is perfect for children, pets, family life and entertaining. Meticulously designed its neat lawn, sandstone paving, and a built-in trampoline result in an idyllic outdoor space. Leading from the garden is a separate gravel area with a useful shed. The driveway can support parking for up to 4 cars.
