The property

Part of a modern development in the coastal town of Prestonpans, situated just a short walk from the beach, this attractive, two-bedroom, ground-floor flat represents an exciting opportunity for first-time buyers, commuting professionals, downsizers, and small families alike. The home offers a bay-windowed living/dining room, a contemporary kitchen, a modern bathroom, and private residents’ parking. Furthermore, it has an excellent location, putting East Lothian’s idyllic countryside and coastline within easy reach, as well as providing a direct commute into Edinburgh city centre. The property is nicely presented throughout too, with modern interior design. Inside the flat, reached by a secure shared entrance, you are greeted with a warm welcome by a central hall brimming with contemporary appeal. It has two storage cupboards for convenience and flows naturally into the living/dining room. Here, wood-textured flooring is coupled with a tasteful feature wall and neutral decoration to create a comfortable and homely environment. A bay window floods the room in natural light, whilst spacious proportions accommodate comfortable lounge and dining furniture. Whether relaxing, socialising, or entertaining, it is an ideal reception space for everyday use. In the kitchen, contemporary cabinets complement the stone-style worktops, with the colour of both contrasting nicely with the vibrant décor. It has an L-shaped layout to maximise floorspace and comes with an integrated gas hob, oven, and pyramidal extractor, with space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and washing machine. Located opposite one another are two good-size double bedrooms, both softly carpeted and with built-in wardrobes for greater convenience. The principal bedroom has a stylish design with an accent wall, whilst the second bedroom is currently arranged for children. Finally, a modern three-piece bathroom (and overhead shower) is presented with slim-line tiling and ocean blue décor. An efficient gas central heating system and double-glazed windows ensure year-round comfort. Outside, the development offers private residents’ parking and well-tended garden greens for communal use.
