A spacious family home in East Lothian with stunning sea views

With an increasing number of families moving to rural locations on the Edinburgh commuter belt, there is rising demand for properties in the sought-after East-Lothian town of Dunbar. 

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a stunning four-bedroom detached house which has been extended and upgraded by the current owners to create a wonderful family home with beautiful sea views and plenty of room for entertaining. 

The house is entered via double wooden gates leading to the main house and comprises of a vestibule, hall, double aspect kitchen/dining room with vaulted ceiling, ample room for dining and relaxing and double doors leading out to a decked area and private gardens. 

The living room has a feature fireplace with log burning stove and the family room has views across the fields to Thorntonloch Beach, and triple bi-fold doors leading to a further decked area. A double bedroom and family bathroom with freestanding bath complete the ground floor accommodation.  

On the first floor there is a main bedroom with an ensuite shower room, as well as two further double bedrooms and a shower room. 

The well-maintained gardens of the property have a lot to offer buyers, with a fully-insulated bespoke summer house containing a log burner. Another log burner can be found in the garden snug which would be ideal as a home office. A triple garage, with electric doors, has room for four cars and provides a high-level storage space. Above the garaging is a mews apartment, accessed via an external spiral staircase, and consists of a large, open plan living room/dining room/kitchen with a double bedroom and shower room off. The garage and mews apartment has dual climate control installed. 

Dunbar is a vibrant town that is surrounded by fantastic scenery and has a real sense of community. It has a great selection of outdoor activities for families or young professionals including two golf courses, beautiful sandy beaches, spectacular cliff top walks and the John Muir Country Park. There is also a bustling high street with an excellent selection of independent and artisan shops, restaurants and galleries.
