This impressive Victorian house is defined by its elegant proportions, high ceilings, and large sash windows, creating a bright, uplifting ambience throughout. A seamless blend of heritage character and tasteful modern styling results in an exceptionally welcoming home in one of East Lothian's most coveted village settings.

Two south-facing reception rooms – a bay fronted drawing room and a formal dining room – display fine period detailing. The softly carpeted drawing room enjoys an open fire, delicate cornicework, and elegant neutral decor, while the dining room features a traditional fireplace with a living-flame fire, pine flooring, and serene sage-green tones that add warmth and charm.

A contemporary sitting room with a log-burning stove forms a relaxed family hub extending into the sunroom and kitchen, with cohesive flooring enhancing the natural flow between spaces. Two further ground-floor rooms connect via a rear hall with access to a bathroom and the garden, offering ideal flexibility for home working, guest accommodation, a gym or an annexe for multigenerational living.

The bright kitchen combines classic Shaker design with a modern finish, featuring warm taupe cabinetry, Silestone worktops, a Butler sink, and stone-effect flooring. A central island creates a convivial setting for family breakfasts and evening drinks, while integrated appliances include a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge freezer, and wine fridge. An adjoining fitted utility room provides external access, plus an under-counter washing machine and dryer.

On the first floor, the dual-aspect principal bedroom exudes calm sophistication, with subtle decor, period detailing, and an electric fire in a traditional surround. A wide bay window frames south-facing countryside views, creating an inspiring backdrop to start the day and unwind each evening. The suite also features a walk-in dressing room with mirrored wardrobes, leading to a luxurious four-piece bathroom with a deep roll-top bath and separate shower.

Three additional double bedrooms are reached via the staircase and upper landing, illuminated by a coloured glass arched window. Each is a restful, carpeted retreat with understated decor, and two benefit from built-in storage. All enjoy private en-suite facilities, including tasteful shower rooms and, in the third, a mosaic-tiled bathroom with a P-shaped bath and overhead shower. Plus, a spacious fifth double on the ground floor for added convenience.
