Property highlight: Timeless Georgian charm in the heart of Gifford.

Tucked away in the heart of Gifford's picturesque Conservation Area, Rockingstone is a handsome B-listed, three-bedroom semi-detached cottage dating back to the 18th century. Beautifully blending timeless period charm with contemporary comforts, this delightful home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village life in one of East Lothian's most sought-after settings. Behind its elegant, whitewashed façade, symmetrical sash windows and traditional stripped pine doors, the property immediately exudes warmth and character. A welcoming slate-tiled entrance hall provides a lovely introduction to the home and benefits from generous under-stair storage, which can also be accessed externally from the rear. The cosy sitting room is a wonderful place to relax, with dual-aspect windows allowing natural light to flood the space, while a wood-burning stove creates an inviting focal point for the colder months. The stylish breakfasting kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with modern shaker-style cabinetry while retaining its character through a beautiful cast iron fireplace. Offering ample space for dining, it is both practical and welcoming, making it the true heart of the home. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the bright conservatory provides a versatile additional reception space, with direct access to the enclosed rear garden. Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each full of natural light, together with a bright family bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite and shower over the bath. Externally, the rear garden is a wonderfully private and peaceful retreat, enclosed by high stone walls, fencing and established hedging. The garden offers a lawn and a charming pergola, creating a delightful space for outdoor dining, relaxing and enjoying the changing seasons. The current owners have also sympathetically renewed the traditional pantile roof, refreshed the roughcast exterior and gutters, further enhancing the property's kerb appeal and ensuring it has been well cared for.
