The property
A-LISTED STONE-BUILT LODGE HOUSE LOCATED WITHIN QUIET West Lodge is a handsome single storey stone-built 19th century gatehouse at the western edge of the historic estate of the Balfour family, constructed in a Neo-Classical style, with matching twin pillars, all beneath a pitched slated roof. Approached through double wrought iron gates and stone piers, the property sits in a generous plot surrounded by a large number of trees and shrubs. Extensive repairs and upgrading are now required offering great potential to recreate a charming home of great character. The present layout includes a well-lit living room, two double bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. There is good storage space and a generous outhouse attached to the main building may be suitable for the creation of further living space subject to necessary consents being available. There is also a detached double garage within the grounds. West Lodge is situated within the wonderful East Lothian countryside, around 3 miles south of East Linton, near the small hamlet of Papple. The A1, which is dual carriageway from Dunbar to Edinburgh, provides a fast link to the city and its by-pass, with further links to the M8 and M9 motorway system and the International Airport. East Lothian is famous for its lovely sandy beaches and Championship golf courses including Muirfield, Gullane and North Berwick. There are train links to Edinburgh from Drem and Dunbar, the latter station being on the main line to London. The nearby conservation village of Stenton has a post office and primary school, while East Linton, Haddington and Dunbar offer a choice of supermarkets, restaurants, secondary schooling, banks and sporting activities. From Haddington town centre proceed along Whittingehame Drive passing Aldi on your right and then Haddington Golf club on your left, then after leaving the town take the second turn on your right. Proceed for approx. 4 ½ miles until you come to a flat T junction and the house is at the top of the T
