Description
This three-bedroom end-terrace cottage is a fantastic option for those seeking a rural idyll without sacrificing convenience. It is nestled in picturesque countryside yet only 30 minutes drive to Edinburgh city bypass on the nearby A1, and just a 10-minute drive from Dunbar's rail links, schools, and shops. The cottage is set within a small community and features residents' parking, plus an extensive southerly-facing garden offering stunning views over the countryside and coast. It has been extended and is tastefully presented, exuding country charm alongside modern comforts. Upon entering, a welcoming hall provides access to the spacious living room and kitchen, which enjoy ample natural light. The living room has display shelving and is warmly enhanced by the pleasing tones of wood flooring, beams, and a mantle above a multi-fuel stove. Centrally located around a social dining area, the tile-floored kitchen features tasteful ivory-white units, an illuminated wood-toned worktop, and rustic painted beams. An integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer, along with a freestanding electric cooker and washer dryer, equip the space, which borrows sunny light from an adjoining tile-floored sunroom, southerly-facing and leading onto the garden. Completing the downstairs is a bright single bedroom that overlooks the garden — a lovely option for a home-working retreat. Sky lit stairs lead to the upper landing with storage and access to the two remaining bedrooms: a generous dual-aspect double with a wash basin and a large single featuring a built-in wardrobe. Both are cosily set beneath the eaves, as is the well-lit bathroom, which is appointed in simple white and has a sunken bath and a shower enclosure. The property has oil-fired heating and is mostly double-glazed. Outside, the substantial and well-maintained rear garden features split-level expanses of established, bordered lawns and a rockery leading to a secluded sun terrace — an idyllic spot for seating with views across fields to the sea. There are 2 garden sheds providing plentiful storage. To the front, a shared parking area provides ample space for residents. Extras: The sale includes all fitted flooring, window coverings, light fixtures, and appliances. Furniture can be made available subject to a separate negotiation.
