The property

This attractive two bedroom, main door, first floor flat has a fantastic position in the heart of the coastal village of Gullane. The entrance to the flat is tucked away in a quiet lane behind the Main Street, close to the village amenities and a short walk to the beach. On the south coast of the Firth of Forth, Gullane is an especially attractive conservation village some twenty miles from Edinburgh. From Gullane Hill there are magnificent views towards the Lammermuir Hills, the coast of Fife and Edinburgh and Gullane Bents is one of the best beaches in the area. There is an excellent primary school, a library and several shops, attractive eating places and cafes to choose from. Gullane is primarily known for its golf which has been played here since 1854. The three courses of Gullane offer excellent golf while five minutes in the car will take you to the Open Championship Course of Muirfield. With a number of quality courses in the immediate area including The West and The Glen in North Berwick, Archerfield, Luffness and Craigielaw to name but a few, this is a golfer’s paradise. Five miles east, North Berwick offers excellent secondary schooling, additional shopping and recreational activities including the Sea Bird Centre and a sports centre with swimming pool. A regular rail service from North Berwick and Drem and a direct bus service from Gullane provide easy access to Edinburgh for the commuter and the proximity to the A1 means travelling by road to the city, the city bypass and the airport is easy. This traditional stone built flat has attractive stone steps leading to the private entrance, a vestibule and a hallway with access to the attic space. The fully fitted kitchen has a good range of smart modern units, a picture window and two storage cupboards. The lounge is to the rear of the building and overlooks the Main Street. There are two double bedrooms both with coombe ceilings and one has lovely views across to the Lammermuir Hills and there is a smart family bathroom.
