The property
An opportunity has arisen to purchase a charming and most impressive lower villa flat situated in this popular much sought after seaside town of North Berwick known for its spectacular beaches and bustling High Street and yet within easy commuting distance of Edinburgh. The High Street offers a very wide and interesting range of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, whilst Tesco and Aldi supermarkets are available in the town. Well respected schooling at nursery, primary and secondary levels is also present. North Berwick is well known for its leisure facilities and there are two golf courses, rugby and tennis clubs, a yacht club, swimming pool and sports centre. With the harbour and extensive beaches on the Firth of Forth within the town, many walks can be enjoyed at nearby Berwick Law and the John Muir Walk, and the Scottish Seabird Centre is also available. Trips from the harbour can be enjoyed to the Bass Rock. The nearby train station in North Berwick permits commuting to Edinburgh in 30 minutes, whilst by car the journey is approximately 45 minutes. There are many buses serving this area leading into the city centre of Edinburgh and other parts of the country. This well situated family home has been in the ownership of one family since 1938. Accordingly, upgrading and modernisation is required but the flat has potential to create a family home on ground level. There is an entrance vestibule with WC compartment attached and a spacious reception hall leading to the main apartments. The lounge is quietly situated at the rear with access to a large conservatory and the dining-room leads onto the kitchen located in the extension. There are two double bedrooms and a shower room. The property has lovely gardens to the front and rear and a lock-up garage. To appreciate this superb lower villa flat, within comfortable commuting distance of Edinburgh, either by road or rail, and its potential to create a delightful family home, early viewing is recommended. This handsome Victorian semi-detached villa was sub-divided over twenty years ago. The upper two floors are now a self-contained property. The subjects of sale are located on the ground floor with gardens front and rear. Access to timber garage and rear garden from Ware Road.
