The property

Situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Athelstaneford, this four bedroom detached cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside and lies within easy driving distance of nearby amenities: a location that will no doubt appeal to families preferring a quiet countryside retreat. The front door opens into an entrance vestibule flowing through to a hall with built-in storage. On your right, you step into a large living room, which promises fantastic flexibility for various lounge furniture configurations, all arranged an exposed-stone style fireplace surround. From here, double doors open into a spacious sunroom opening onto the rear garden. Accessed from the hall or the sunroom, the kitchen incorporates space for a dining area and is fitted with a wide selection of classically-styled wall and base cabinets. An eye-level electric double oven and a hob are integrated, whilst a freestanding fridge freezer and an undercounter dishwasher are also included. Space and plumbing for a washing machine are provided in the former garage. Also located on the ground floor are a double bedroom with built-in storage and a four-piece family bathroom. A rear hall leading off the living room affords access to the former garage, which presents excellent potential for development (with the correct permissions) and features stairs leading up to the master bedroom. Occupying a generous footprint, the master bedroom enjoys lovely countryside views and accommodates built-in storage and its own en-suite shower room. The main staircase in the hall leads up to a landing with storage, which in turn affords access to the two remaining double bedrooms. Both yield the same lovely views as the master bedroom, and one incorporates built-in storage. Oil-fired central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. Outside, the house is accompanied by a vast rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and featuring a patio, established trees and shrubbery, and planting areas. Private parking is provided by a driveway to the side of the property.
