Property description
* Fixed Price £15k below Home Report Value*
Hope Cottage is a charming and truly unique home, quietly tucked away in the heart of North Berwick. Hidden behind Westgate and accessed via a quaint vennel, the property enjoys a peaceful and private setting while being just moments from the town's excellent amenities and coastline.
On entering, a welcoming hallway with wooden flooring and a staircase immediately sets the tone for the character found throughout the home. The sitting room is a particularly appealing space, bright and inviting, with a modern cottage feel. A wood-burning stove, combined with a mix of exposed stonework and panelling, creates a warm and stylish atmosphere, while direct access to the patio enhances the connection to the outdoors.
The galley kitchen is well arranged and thoughtfully designed, offering good cupboard space, a range of appliances and a traditional Belfast sink. A breakfast bar provides a lovely spot to sit and enjoy views of the patio and garden.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile room, currently used as a dining room but equally suited as a third bedroom, offering flexibility to suit a variety of needs.
Upstairs, the character continues. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and features a cast iron fireplace, while the second bedroom to the front benefits from a quirky light well that floods the space with natural light. A beautifully finished, recently completed bathroom with sleek tiling and a shower over the bath completes the internal accommodation.
Externally, the property enjoys a delightful outdoor setting. A private patio area leads to a tiered garden, with steps rising to a further seating area ideal for enjoying the sun. The garden is enhanced by attractive planting and a feature olive tree, creating a peaceful and inviting space. Practicality is also well considered, with an external store currently used as a utility/drying area, additional storage space beside the property, and a further store located within the vennel.
Residents parking permit available at approx. £40 per year.
Presented in excellent condition throughout, Hope Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and beautifully maintained home in a prime central North Berwick location.
