Description
Stevenson House, dating from circa 1560, is a remarkable example of heritage architecture, exquisitely restored to an exacting standard and presented in flawless turnkey condition. It’s rare ‘grange plan’ design—centred around a private courtyard—creates a striking sense of symmetry and seclusion, rising gracefully to three storeys with staircases elegantly positioned at each corner. The magnificent first-floor reception rooms, introduced in the 17th century, are of exceptional scale, bathed in natural light and perfectly suited to both grand entertaining and refined daily living.
The estate extends beyond the main house where there are two charming ancillary dwellings, with a third residence available by separate negotiation, offering flexibility for guests, staff or multi-generational living. A comprehensive range of traditional outbuildings includes a classic U-shaped stable block with three stalls and tack room, alongside a workshop, three double garages and a gardener’s store.
Set in 15.85 acres of land Stevenson House resides against the tranquil backdrop of the River Tyne’s south bank, the estate enjoys complete privacy within a thriving natural habitat, where roe deer, hares and abundant birdlife are regularly seen. Despite its idyllic setting, the property remains exceptionally well connected, with swift access to the A1 and Edinburgh city centre just 30 minutes away. The nearby market town of Haddington provides excellent local amenities, complemented by a selection of highly regarded schools in the surrounding area.
