Elfin kitchen cabinets and shelving are neatly fitted to one wall and integrated appliances comprise a combination microwave/oven and grill, an induction hob, a fridge, and a dishwasher.

The bedroom is neutrally-decorated with two contemporary accent walls and carpeted for comfort, and a built-in wardrobe maximises floor space for freestanding bedroom furnishings. The stylish shower room comprises a corner shower enclosure, a basin set into storage, a WC, a tall chrome towel radiator, and a mirrored, wall-mounted vanity cabinet. The home is kept warm by electric heating, with programmable panel heaters in the living area and bedroom, and underfloor heating in the shower room. The bedroom and shower room windows are double glazed. Externally, the maisonette benefits from access to a shared courtyard and on-street parking can be found nearby. Historic Dunbar is a thriving town with a real sense of community, situated on the stunning East Lothian coast yet less than half an hour from either Edinburgh or Berwick by train. Its two working harbours are the hub of the town and the Dunbar Battery has been recently restored to create a unique open-air venue with amphitheatre and coastal garden. The vibrant High Street offers many independent shops, galleries restaurants and coffee houses with the convenience of a large supermarket on the outskirts of town. There's plenty for sports fans: a leisure centre with a swimming pool and a newly opened platinum fitness centre, two golf courses, Foxlake Cable Wakeboarding Park, and Coast to Coast: Scotland's largest surfing school. There are beautiful sandy beaches, spectacular cliff top walks and the John Muir Country Park. Dunbar is known for its outstanding schools, both at primary and secondary levels in both the public and private sector, with renowned Belhaven Hill independent school in the town. For commuters it's a short trip to Edinburgh or Berwick by train or the A1 which is easily accessible.
