The property

Nestled within a small, exclusive development just off treelined Dirleton Avenue in North Berwick is Woodhaven, a unique detached villa with four bedrooms, two reception rooms and an impressive dining kitchen, and three bathrooms, plus wraparound gardens, a terrace, a balcony, a driveway, and an attached single garage. The front door opens into a practical entrance vestibule, immediately affording access to a wonderfully light and airy hall, where the tone for the beautifully-presented accommodation is set with muted décor accompanied by a coordinating carpet. The front door opens into a practical entrance vestibule, immediately affording access to a wonderfully light and airy hall, where the tone for the beautifully-presented accommodation is set with muted décor accompanied by a coordinating carpet. On your left and enjoying a fabulously sociable interconnected flow, is an impressive dining kitchen, a living room, and a sun room. The living room continues the understated finish of the hall with the same décor and cosy fitted carpet for maximum comfort, and provides flexibility for a choice of lounge furniture. Wrapped around one end of the room, framing a large, south-facing picture window, is a wealth of fitted shelving, a lovely feature for book storage or other display items. A further focal point of the room and creating a cosy atmosphere is a homely wood-burning stove. From here, double doors open into the sun room, offering an open-plan space perfect for everyday life and entertaining alike. Capturing the sun all day long through large triple-aspect windows, the sun room is currently set up as a family/play room and could lend itself to a variety of different uses. The room also affords access to the garden. Returning back through the living room, a door leads to the kitchen, which is also accessible from the hall. Another hub of this fantastic family home, the kitchen, with a magnificent cupola skylight flooding the room with natural light, incorporates a large, semi-separate dining area (set next to a garden entrance) and a breakfast bar with room for four bar stools – the ideal space for morning coffee, busy weekday breakfasts, and casual dining. An excellent selection of beautiful cream-coloured cabinets is accompanied by gleaming granite worktops and a practical tiled floor. An impressive Rangemaster cooker takes centre stage here and is supplemented by a colour-matched splashback panel and an extractor hood, whilst an American-style fridge freezer and a dishwasher are included. An adjoining utility room (with built-in storage and external access) houses matching cabinets and a dryer. Two of the home's four double bedrooms are also located on the ground floor. Like the rest of the property, the rooms are both neutrally decorated and benefit from cosy carpets, and the larger of the two boasts an ensuite shower room. A bathroom (with storage) completes this level of accommodation and comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a traditional-style WCsuite, and a tall chrome towel radiator, all with the attractive backdrop of pastel-toned décor, characterful wainscoting, and a wood-inspired floor. On the first floor, the two remaining bedrooms and a WC are accessed via a landing, which also affords access to eaves storage. The generous master suite enjoys mirrored built-in wardrobes and has the luxuries of an en-suite shower room and a private, south-facing balcony with ample space for outdoor furniture. The remaining bedroom also benefits from wall-to-wall mirrored built-in wardrobes. The villa is heated by a gas central heating system and all windows throughout are double glazed. E xternally, the delightful home is accompanied by a sun-trap patio terrace to the rear – perfect for summer barbecuing and alfresco dining furniture – in addition to wraparound gardens to the front and side. The walled front and side gardens feature a spacious manicured lawn and colourful, leafy borders. Excellent private parking is provided by a generous driveway leading to an attached single garage
