Puffin Cottage, Victoria, North Berwick, EH39 4JL

The property

This distinctive mid-terraced cottage in exclusive North Berwick enjoys deceptively spacious accommodation, including two bedrooms and a large reception room enhanced by characterful features, a mid-century feel, crisp white decor, and a warmly-toned handsome wood floor. The cottage is accompanied by a generous rear garden and access to unrestricted on-street parking. As well as lying enviably close to the outstanding amenities North Berwick has to offer, including an eclectic selection of shops and eateries in the town centre and the train station, the home is just a stone’s throw from the beach and the harbour. Inside, the front door opens to a trio of steps leading down to a hall with a large built-in storethat also functions as a utility area. The hall sets an inviting tone for the interiors to follow,with its crisp-white décor and honey-coloured wood floor. Straight ahead, you step into a kitchen, where space is provided for a bistro table andchairs – ideal for morning coffee and breakfast. Classic cream cabinets are framedby spacious worktops and eye-catching splashback tiling, and the kitchen flows, viadouble doors, into the living and dining room. This triple-aspect reception room, with its generous lounge area, French windows and garden views, has an impressive vaulted natural wood ceiling, neutral decor, and a cupola above the dining area. It continues the welcoming impression of the preceding accommodation with neutral décor and wooden flooring. French doors to the rear of the room open onto the back garden, extending the space outdoors during the warmer months. The cottage accommodates two bedrooms, one accessed from the hall and the other from the kitchen. The bedrooms are both neutrally-decorated and fitted with the same wood flooring as the rest of the property. The principal room is a spacious double with a large skylight window, whereas the second bedroom (with a built-in wardrobe) is a versatile space that can be used as a good-size single or potentially as a double. A modern bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a pedestal basin, a WC, and a mirrored, wall-mounted vanity cabinet. Externally, the large private rear garden has a woodland feel with hedges, mature trees and an orchard of three quince and three plum trees, while providing a sun-trap patio and an expansive paved area perfect for outdoor seating. Hidden at the bottom of the garden are two large storage sheds. Parking on Victoria Road is conveniently unrestricted. Extras: Kitchen appliances
