3 Whitekirk Cottage, Whitekirk, Dunbar, East Lothian, EH42 1XS

The property

This delightful detached three bedroom stone cottage is situated in the heart of the village. Nestled in peaceful, rural East Lothian, Whitekirk is a charming village centred around the ancient and historic church of St Mary’s. Some thirty miles east of Edinburgh, and located between the coastal towns of North Berwick and Dunbar, the village has a rich history and a thriving community. Whitekirk was designated a conservation area in 1969, and has several listed buildings, not least the church after which the village is named. The cottage is deceptively spacious comprising an entrance hall with good storage, an attractive lounge with a wood burning stove, a solid wood fitted kitchen with a lovely outlook over the garden, a dining room with a door leading to the garden, a master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The fully enclosed rear garden has been beautifully designed with several seating areas cleverly positioned around the garden to catch the sun throughout the day and to enjoy the generous variety of plants, shrubs and trees including an Acer tree that shades the pond, a Jasmine covered pergola, a Heather bed and a Rose bed to name but a few. There is a drying area, a shed and a wood store. Double glazing and electric storage heating are installed. There is a large attic with the potential to extend following all the usual permissions.
